This picture is so 90s it hurts, and it's the matching soul patches that really sells it.

Ugh, now that release date is here, my order for volume 2 is "delivery date pending." I really hope they're doing represses of these soundtracks. If not, they are leaving a fortune on the table.

Any opinions on the Waves score? Reminds me of Coil. I haven't gotten all the way through it yet, but it's a nice change of pace from the usual scoring.

El-P finally got his back catalog up on streaming services, meaning you can finally listen to Trent's contribution to Flyentology (on I'll Sleep When You're Dead) on Spotify!

It's giving me ideas for what my next project should sound like. Can't wait to see how it's all used in the movie. Rageaholic fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Dec 6, 2019 |

polyester concept posted:Am I alone in thinking that 90% of all TR&AR's soundtrack work is too samey? Like when the social network came out it was a breath of fresh air because at least it was different than most other scores, but to me most of everything they've done sound like an extension of Ghosts I-IV and a little Hesitation Marks. I get that's their signature sound but I have stopped listening to most of their soundtrack work beyond an initial skim through because there's just not much interesting going on. I remember being surprised by the song he contributed to the Tetsuo movie because I didn't think he had it in him to create something like that again, and likewise for the cover of Immigrant Song for the Dragon Tattoo movie which was really good. It was nice to hear Trent get noisy again and release something recalling the TDS-Fragile era. It seems that he's very much into ambience and experimenting now and it's clearly something that he's good at, but I really miss when he created stuff that sounded vicious, and aside from the aforementioned tracks I think that style is going to remain part of that period in the 90s and we'll never hear anything like it from him again. He seems pretty mellow and content with life which is a good thing, though.

I haven't kept up with Trent's output since he started going in directions that weren't appealing to me. I assume that's a song like the others I described? Okay.

That's fine, it's just the way you were talking I assumed you have been keeping up with the current stuff. You really should listen to the last 3 NIN records, they're not very long but it's a lot of good stuff. (I can't remember where we landed on calling them EPs, but... they're EPs)

Minidust posted:I mean there's no way to prove this, but I believe it was deliberatesly misclassified as an "LP" to fudge with how it would be featured while browsing on streaming sites. IIRC Trent basically said as much in an interview when it released, but then also made some vague comments about how it's totally an LP for somesuch artistic reason. It's an LP because the vinyl is a 12 inch, as opposed to EPs, which are 7 inch. E: And there's music on both sides, as opposed to the first one which I think came on a 12 incher but the B side was just the A side of Downward Spiral but backwards.

Or for that matter the 2017 reissue of the Broken EP, which is a 12" and includes a little 7" for the two "hidden" songs!

Just started listening to the Watchmen soundtrack and, holy poo poo, it's so good. I was going to order the vinyls but I'm guessing they did a very short run, as they're all sold out. Spotify works just as well!

Unless you are The Gerogerigegege and fit 79 "songs" on a 7" EP Yellow Trash Bazooka - pretty NWS cover but it's a great EP of noise that doesn't take itself too seriously. Those of you who like the crunchy deteriorating lo-fi sound of the Background Would outro might appreciate the sounds here.

Holy crap it even has "Just Do It" Edit: Some super deep cuts in here for music nerds of all stripes. Like the reference to Bomb The Bass (which in their timeline includes Atticus Ross) using The Comedian's smiley face logo. Sir Lemming fucked around with this message at 03:35 on Dec 14, 2019 |

Kind of tacky to put a hype sticker on the album claiming Sleazy participated in the sessions, when the guy is dead and has no estate to make decisions about his likeness. Guess Trent just wants to jump on that train of anyone remotely associated with Coil acting like they have the right to do whatever because they worked together at some point.

yeah not sure you're understanding the idea behind the album, this is an alternate universe where it looks like Christopherson was probably a full time band member?

There’s literally nothing in my post that indicates that I don’t understand the conceit behind the packaging, I just think it’s tacky to put a dead man’s name on a hype sticker to sell a record if the man had nothing to do with the record. There are thousands of people who are fans of Sleazy’s work who don’t give a poo poo about Nine Inch Nails. The first I heard about the sticker was from a Coil collector who bought it and then realized it was bullshit.

Thinking that the names Peter Christopherson or Coil can be used to move any noticeable amount of units is pretty laffo tho. But I get what you're saying, I guess. We don't know if he really had nothing to do with it. Maybe some old, unused sound design files from those Nothing Records/Pig Studio sessions have been incorporated?

Because that's on the sticker too

Because that's on the sticker too No it’s not. The hype sticker says “The long-awaited release of the Manhattan Project recordings, overseen by Atticus Ross and Peter Christopherson. Remastered 2019 audio on 180-gram vinyl, original artwork and more. Halo ten Originally recorded: November 2001” It also credits Christopherson on the back cover as a co-writer of all tracks. If Sleazy actually contributed to this somehow, like if Trent had some stuff laying around from when Coil was in New Orleans, then cool. If he didn’t, it’s misleading.

I would say less than the names of real people, with a plausible date that they could have recorded music. I’ve read Watchmen, and am watching the show, and that means nothing to me.
