Whatever people think of Four Tet, Bonobo has always struck me as Diet Four Tet.

Bonobo is Fisher Price Four Tet.

octo otm. it's more post-rock but I also go back to Dialogue a lot

When I mentioned Bonobo I was using it as a shorthand for "pleasant chill-out music for normies", which isn't really a slight because everyone needs relaxing beats to chill to/study to. But as others are saying, Four Tet should be way beyond and outside of that realm, especially at this point in his career. I just don't hear it on this album.

Is anything on Three as good as, arbitrary example, Flim? No. But Three Drums is close, as is Daydream Repeat. Is it chilled beats to relax to for normies? Wtf is a normie? I’ve got two kids and I’m 45 next month and I love this record and I saw Four Tet live in 2003 etc etc etc.

Okay so the hierarchy goes
Bonobo = Diet Four TetFour Tet = Diet Aphex Twin

What is Aphex the Diet version of? VSnares? Ae?
― your mom goes to limgrave (dog latin), Wednesday, 3 April 2024 23:33 (four weeks ago) link
don't think Four Tet compares to Aphex much at all, maybe Boards of Canada though. I always did think Pause kinda made me recall my teenage years the same way MHTRTC makes me think of childhood
VSnares is definitely a Four Loko by the way

the real snob move here is to say that his emotiveness can't compare to the Detroit guys

Four Loko? That's like the US version of Buckfast or something isn't it? In which case, definitely.

xp yes indeed though I'd bet anything Buckfast tastes better. also important to note Four Lokos cost about $1.99
― frogbs, Thursday, 4 April 2024 14:08 (three weeks ago) link
there are very few things that Buckfast tastes better than

last time I had a Four Loko I thought it tasted like someone dropped a bag of Jolly Ranchers into a pint of paint thinner

Does anyone else hear 'Storm Crystals' referencing 'Ending (An Ascent)' around the 4-minute mark?
