Carcass is such a motherfucker of a song

I'm revisiting Quarantine for the first time in years because I liked the new album so much. it's so claustrophobic and unpleasant - like it's a great record, but also kind of a jarring experience. I remember allmusic called it like a soundtrack to a science fiction nightmare, which is a good lens to view the record through imo (especially when considering that album cover!)

picked up the CD today
first listen: extremely dope
― the late great, Wednesday, 20 March 2019 21:28 (five years ago) link
how is it that nickB posted "tru" and "sweetie" six years ago?!?!?
― the late great, Wednesday, 20 March 2019 21:30 (five years ago) link
weird browser glitch i guess
second, third listen - still dope

kicks ass

best mix ever
― flopson, Saturday, 23 March 2019 20:59 (five years ago) link
this is kinda getting me high
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Sunday, 24 March 2019 12:30 (five years ago) link
This is great! Some of her stuff can be a bit too esoteric for me but I think this is very approachable. "Temptation" bangs.
― Indexed, Tuesday, 26 March 2019 17:07 (five years ago) link
Great mix, although it left me feeling a bit woozy.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Tuesday, 26 March 2019 17:23 (five years ago) link
right? it's genuinely a mood-alterer.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 26 March 2019 18:02 (five years ago) link
It doesn't exactly have a lot of moments of firm ground to cling to.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Tuesday, 26 March 2019 18:04 (five years ago) link
i actually just went through and pulled the unmixed versions of my fave tracks for closer inspection; that would be the Parris, Ikonika, Red Axes/CAR, Nick León, Dario Zenker, Kiki Kudo, Via Maris and Halo originals... most of which hail from the mini-EP I suppose.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 26 March 2019 18:07 (five years ago) link
I like it a lot and it feels very much like a whole -- there really aren't so much "stand out tracks" for me although there are moments. Especially good toward the end.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Tuesday, 26 March 2019 18:22 (five years ago) link
TBH though listening to it emphasized to me how much better and more interesting Halo's music is than a lot of her selections.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Tuesday, 26 March 2019 18:23 (five years ago) link
xp agree
― the late great, Tuesday, 26 March 2019 19:26 (five years ago) link
ikonika one is a slapper
― flopson, Thursday, 28 March 2019 01:54 (five years ago) link
whole mix sounds v smudged and dirty
― flopson, Thursday, 28 March 2019 02:06 (five years ago) link
This is pretty much everything I want from a mix. Who else is doing smooth, trippy techno these days?
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 28 March 2019 03:38 (five years ago) link
call super comes to mind
― cheese canopy (map), Thursday, 28 March 2019 04:42 (five years ago) link
finally listening to this. it's awesome.
― cheese canopy (map), Thursday, 28 March 2019 04:43 (five years ago) link
it seems like rough machine beats with an electro slap / crack and a lot of texture is very much the techno flavor of the moment doesn't it
― cheese canopy (map), Thursday, 28 March 2019 04:48 (five years ago) link
She definitely does something to process the tracks in order to make them sound more uniform I think and give them all that “smudged” quality as flopson says. It’s striking how seamless it all is — sometimes I can’t tell what elements are from which track during a transition.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 28 March 2019 14:15 (five years ago) link
it's just good mixing homes
― cheese canopy (map), Thursday, 28 March 2019 16:15 (five years ago) link
yea this is really good
she hosted a really awesome nts session recently
― marcos, Thursday, 28 March 2019 16:16 (five years ago) link
i listened to this really stoned last night and it was p wonderful. delighted by "just made some jazz music" every single time
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 March 2019 16:17 (five years ago) link
this seems like an ideal thing to listen to really stoned
― cheese canopy (map), Thursday, 28 March 2019 16:21 (five years ago) link
Also I'm sure there was some mixing & mastering done on the mix as a whole

lol yep
― flopson, Thursday, 28 March 2019 19:06 (five years ago) link
I really want to see her live, why do DJs/electronic artists have to do such late shows

alexa what is a nightclub
yeah I know dude, I'm just near 40 and would really like for there to be maybe an evening club or something like that
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 28 March 2019 20:15 (five years ago) link
there are upscale events for that kinda stuff of the RBMA variety; i will certainly post here if she's in town, MA

London has an afternoon/evening club that ends at 11pm now, I'm going to see Ben Klock there on Saturday and tbh I'm approaching even that with some trepidation at my age.
