I love his stuff, this should be good!

hooray!

Release date is May 28th btw.

noto makes very good stuff and raster is packaged very well, but its usually expensive and not full albums

Is this going to sound like when you force Goldwave to open a non-wav. file?

hopefully!

wtf? someone explain.

explain what?

Leakies. The Unitxt portion sounds more industrial than his other work and even more German. By the end of it I was honestly ready to get to the Code portion for some more active listening.

I'm so happy that raster-noton is releasing a lot of good stuff recently.

I wonder how Xerrox 2 will sound..

beautiful work. most rhythmocentric basspercussion-accented yet.

this album is realllly good!

second half is a bit of a piss take though. i spent ages doing that stuff myself. theres no effort involved.

yeah it would have been nice if he did something with the sounds!

comes with a warning that it will damage your stereo at high volumes :D

this new one is a bit too aggressive for me. i like alva noto's more minimal side. xerrox vol 1 is my fave by him. looking forward to vol 2

xerrox volume one is a wonderful, beautiful piece, but his industrial-type sounds on this and the transall series are phenomenal. One of the best of the year, by far.

I feel like his sounds are still getting more and more refined, so I'd be psyched if he did another collaboration with Opiate, because I felt like some of the awesome sub-bass was missing on those first two records. Next to Sakamoto, I think that was his best and dynamic collaboration, cause it was really nice to hear him work so well with guitar samples and stuff.

i wonder if i'll should listen to this, i'm not really a fan currently of this harsh sound. even though i like alva noto's other stuff, like xerrox, which is awesome and the stuff he did with sakamata, which is excellent. i guess i'll get to this someday.

I'd say it's only about as hard as something like Transrapid, or the toughest of CoH. The german spoken word kind of makes it seem a little more grrrrr though.

you mean those two tracks? it's clearly french. probably by comedian, called Anne-James Chaton.

and here his stuff has more of fatness, not harsh-

haha, listening again it clearly is french, but I only listened to the album once before. plus, drunk post. anyway, I just think it makes the tracks sound kind of grave and serious.

didn't dig the Knak collab, just couldn't get into it. I love his and Ikeda's work on Cyclo. though.

people at raster-noton are rediscovering the beauty of voice

Just saw that this is also being released on 2xLP. Just the Unitxt portion, no Unitxt Code (Data to AIFF).
