Traject - Birting

dunno if anyone here got into traject's "strengir hrynja' a few years back, but i was perusing myspace and found out he's got a new one out, called 'birting'.

holy balls.

to my tastes, this is the best thing i've heard all year hands-down, bar none (at least in the electronic world.) i can never appropriately gauge what watmm's tastes are at any given moment, but i'd be willing to be there are a few on here that would fucking love this as well.

highpoints so far include '0718', and the absolutely STOMPING 'metropolis'. the first 2 minutes of that track make me want to buy (steal) an armored personnel carrier and crash into things.

it's different to be sure, but i highly recommend checking it out. unfortunately, buying the album digitally is not a possibility (which blows my mind in this day and age - ESPECIALLY when the label admits the CD is hard to find in stores) but it's out there...

samples sound cool.

shit, i always wondered if there ever would be another traject album and tried to keep check on what he was up to and then BAM a new album. sounds ace.

I needed this BADLY. Lately it's been dry for some really good, really intricate cold/icy IDM like this. Well overdue (in the absence of any new Autechre).

Sounds good, I Iiked Strengir Hrynja a lot.

Einoma are also good, if anyone wants some music in a similar vein

Mmmm, delicious. I liked Strengir, think I'll pick this up. I've been getting some new stuff recently, be nice to add a few more albums to my collection. And cheers for the Einoma recommendation, sounds quality.

Einoma is ace. Check out Onethema...some tracks floating around. I'm broke these days, but I could really use a copy of Robert Logan's Inscape.

hey Gl0tch nice to (kind of) see you! and i've never heard of this band before Maus so thanks for showing them. Glad to see someone into audio engineering like yourself can appreciate music like this. It's a shame that there aren't more artists trying to channel later period Autechre vibe. And i dont mean just outright copying it either i just mean using similar techniques and experimentation. So many fucking BOC, vsnares and Aphex/analord clones out there so this is a HUGE refresher

anybody know where to buy this in the US or digital purchase, and if its available to get directly off his website.

glad you're all enjoying birting... it's not as consistently great as i'd initially hoped, but there are most definitely some standout moments.

as far as procuring it, there is no US distribution, and the label claims that even european shops are having a hard time keeping it in stock... all the more ridiculous, therefore, that the label hasn't pursued any electronic distribution. it's pretty mindblowing. if there's anyone to benefit from itunes or bleep distribution, it's smaller artists like this. and you'd think that a smaller label would want to take advantage of the increased distribution reach of the internet.

keeping minds closed.

yeah its strange because anybody can put their stuff on itunes these days if you dont mind taking a 10% cut. Oh well. How did you get it if you dont mind me asking?

Thanks for introduceing Traject to me... really nice music and I like Birting a lot, especially the faster tracks in the middle.

Hey, I've been listening to this a lot. Was just sitting here thinking, make sure to check out 3tronik. If you are feeling this, you'd be in to him to some extent.
