no matter how obvious it may be, I've never realized that plus is the sign. I had to see it written 

I should get banned

Finally revisited PLUS on a drive last weekend and absolutely loved it. I thought I'd grown tired of it a little, or felt that it was a little incoherent, but now it sounded absolutely fresh. I'd forgotten how good the tracks are and how much is going on in them. A bit of the acid jumped a little more into the foreground too. X4 is a beast, always get some vibe that it's somehow competing with drukqs

pls seamus

sign (-) is the negative songs

plus (+) is the songs that do not have negative vibe

The cover feels like a crown of laurels and if there's anyone in music who deserves to rest on their laurels it's The Brothers 'chre-amazov

It's kinda hard to capture the colors but it looks nice irl. The inner sleeves are surprisingly sort of... metallic?

That Stromboli record is pretty good.

I do in fact! I used to have a copy and a bunch other Czech jazz rock LPs (stuff like Energit, Modrý Efekt & Radim Hladík, Pavol Hammel, Marián Varge, Radim Hladík – Na II. Programe Sna, etc.) but sold many of them because needed monies for expensive Autechre LPs PLUS jazz-rock isn't my main genre anyway. Can't have it all. 

Don't want to derail this thread too much though! 

why is the better of their last (for now? fingers crossed) 2 albums' thread have not been bumped in 2 years??? Happy 4 years since the surprise digital release!

marhide, X4, ecol4, esle 0, TM1 open...... so many gorgeous and mind shattering moments 

i will say though, SIGN definitely feels more thought out. I understand how this was nearly an EP.

Don't overlook this gem

Great album. Remember them?

marhide is...delicious. it tastes good. you know what im talkin about

This thread popping up gave me the nudge to stick it on for the first time in a while.  In my mind I had separated it from the recent live material by a massive valley, but listening back now it's tonally very similar.  I need to study up on ecol4 some more so I can shamelessly steal the percussion sounds.

Marhide is such a sick and creepy track. After writing my somewhat negative ish post about plus in the Sign forum I started revisiting it a lot. Lovely album, I have defo been too harsh on it. I don't really think ecol4 is all that awesome tbh, it's a little noodly. I prefer X4
