hey i am quitting/have quit SA and i wanted my last post to be here, enjoy the following:

dr. butcher m.d. - suffer *original audio version*

play these three simultaneously and if one ends before the others do restart it:

Oneohtrix Point Never - Meet Your Creator
The Dwark Band - S/T [Full CS]
SOPHIE - ELLE

playing Silica Gel and that butcher m.d. video in place of Oneohtrix for the simultaneous listening also works good, so enjoy.

enjoy angel 1's 'dancehall minimix', bbrainz's '【1987年】', CLIQUE FREAK's 'HONDA PINATA · GOTTA GOTTA'. The vocals here are also good.

take a moment to appreciate how good mid-2000s RnB could be.

Can we talk about why this is good music? I enjoy listening to it, especially the more electronically oriented tracks like Grade. It just seems like the live tracks are so loose...drums off beat, his voice out of key, some instruments changing key others not. I don't mean this in an insulting way, but it's super amateur and sounds often like mid 90s alternative. Is it possible to break down why this is good? Again, I dig it and it's been my late night subway riding music this week, but curious what draws you to it.

o.m. 94
Nov 23, 2009

I don't dig it so much, The Redeemer is much better

It's hard to understand Dean Blunt without the context of all his other stuff, but basically he's channelling, quite deliberately, the 90s britpop sound, there's bits of Oasis, MBV, Blur in there, all types of poo poo, but with this kind of faux rap posturing "50 CENT" "TO THE NIGGAZ THAT KNEW ME / SUE ME", and I think he's trying to paint a picture using the juxtaposition of the two worlds. Dean Blunt is involved in the british art world and the influence and collaboration with Joanne Robertson, also an artist and musician, shows here. there's also a load of invective that might have something to do with the Copeland / Blunt split of yore. a lot of his stuff sounds intentionally lazy, it's just his sound

So yeah, post-rave comedown britpop with cynical posturing. Make of it what you will

o.m. 94
Nov 23, 2009

actually the whole album has this kind of trajectory that goes from the bright lights of 90s london nightlife, girl in hand, and ends up as a kind of stoned, doped flat squat vibe at 4am. a not-so-subtle metaphor for not only drug abuse, but bad relationships. It's also called BLACK METAL because that sounds cool

I listened to it regularly during the last week, i really love it.

Of course it sounds "cheap" in a way ; at the same time there are very complex and subtle loops, very shoegazy guitar parts, etc. This is all an album about contrast for me, even between dean's voice and the female voices. It's beautiful because it sounds like a broken diamond. Totally naive and at the same time deep ; beautiful and ugly ; simple and complex ; etc.

I guess the contrast OM talks about above fits in this as well.

I did not listen to The Redeemer as much, will do soon.

PS : talk about loops !

I decided to give this blunt a listen since you are all talking about it, and it has so little energy, and I don't mean pace, I mean like it does not feel like anything. Kinda dull imo. I like where it is going, but I don't like the feel of it.

Listened a lot to Dean Blunt's "Redeemer", and i must say that it is a masterpiece. Indeed, it is better than Black Metal, which is really good as well. It makes you warm and sad inside.

This is of course incredible. The influence of Giger on 90's CGI cannot be overstated - think Terminator 2 and the Abyss as classic examples of this vision realised in primitive CGI chrome. Fluidity, amorphous shapes unbounded by modernist, industrial constraints. A hinterland of Utah Teapot turned organic meldworlds- the same sick, naive logic thing that gave us the Lawnmower Man, a film that is definitely on par with Hellraiser as a vision of the eradication of flesh. The abdication of physicality is the premier touchstone of postmodern thought - and it is everywhere in our lives

I haven't seen this posted yet in the thread, but some days this just works for me.
As a disclaimer I called this "recklessly poppy" the first time my roommate showed it to me. Eventually I found out that he's connected to OPN in some way, and that Lopatin could potentially have helped in the production of some of his tracks, which of course got me to take it seriously . :rolleyes:
I feel like the synthesized choir in this tracks is particularly oneohtrix-y. I wouldn't call it too experimental, it just feels like a pop song he might have touched in some way.

I finished listening to it yesterday. I got it and "Pinhead in Fantasia" in the mail at the same time, and I think that Studiolo is the more focused work in spite of being way way way longer.

"i suspect that cyberspace exists because it is the purest manifestation of the mass (masse) as Jean Beaudrilliard described it. it is a black hole; it absorbs energy and personality and then re-presents it as spectacle.
...
cyberspace is a mostly a silent place. in its silence it shows itself to be an expression of the mass. one might question the idea of silence in a place where millions of user-ids parade around like angels of light, looking to see whom they might, so to speak, consume. the silence is nonetheless present and it is most present, paradoxically at the moment that the user-id speaks. when the user-id posts to a board, it does so while dwelling within an illusion that no one is present. language in cyberspace is a frozen landscape.
...
i have seen many people spill their guts on-line, and i did so myself until, at last, i began to see that i had commodified myself... i created my interior thoughts as a means of production for the corporation that owned the board i was posting to, and that commodity was being sold to other commodity/consumer entities as entertainment.
...
many times in cyberspace, i felt it necessary to say that i was human. once, i was told that i existed primarily as a voice in somebody’s head. lots of times, i need to see handwriting on paper or a photograph or a phone conversation to confirm the humanity of the voice"
