Kona Triangle - Sing a new sapling into existence

YEEP this is finally out and peeps this is one cracking album !!!! could be my favourite album this year.

from Boomkat:

"Combining the forces of Lone and Keaver & Brause, Kona Triangle is beat-making powerhouse, combining head-wrecking kick-snare heaviness with the kind of gauzy, suggestive powers of prime Boards Of Canada material. Over the course of Sing A New Sapling Into Existence you'll hear some of the best future-hip hop drum-craft of the year, exemplified by the 3D brain-wrong of 'Fresh Flowers Ahead' and 'Air Lock's insistent stutter. Wrapped up in all this percussive firepower are dense soundscapes of synthetic, sampled and field-recorded sounds, all buckling under the immense pressure of the low-end punch of those bass drums. 'Mango Rubicon' is a particularly good example of this sort of behaviour; weaving together Boards-style chord intervals, tropical ephemera and blurry rainforest noise, the track opens up with a luscious, panoramic serenity before the disproportionately loud, booming beats crash through the mix like a tyrannical logging company. Ace."

i seriously didn't even read that... good album though I agree

I wasn't expecting this to be the case after hearing the samles, but Mango Rubicon is one of my favourite tracks on the album. The way it switches sound roughly half way through is great.

Listening to this now and I didn't even realize Keaver & Brause were involved until I found this thread. I'm not the biggest Lone fan but ran across this on another forum and the samples sounded good, better than Lone's stuff. So, cool. I like this. Track changes seem too abrupt at times, but that's not uncommon at all in this genre, so whatever.

I like the album cover.

Album is great but its not as good as the K&B album, I hope they do more though

Yeah The Middle Way is pretty great.

Pretty much all their works has great replay value, it sounds as fresh now after a hell of a lot of listens as it did then.
