VHS Head - Trademark Ribbons of Gold

this production style vaguely reminded me of vhs head, for what it's worth.

this confirms what VHS Head's brother, Kris, told me on Saturday about it coming soon.

Erm, hasn't the LP version been out for ages now. Or is that the fixed version ?

wish people would stop with all this Jackson bullshit...

 

from what i've heard, Jackson And His Computer Band sounds way too polished and "slick" compared to VHS Head, which has a rawer sound and (in my opinion) way more character and balls.

They're both good, for what it's worth. I must say I enjoy VHS Head much more though. Jackson has some songs I like. The only thing I find similar is that it's cut so much, other than that they don't structure things nearly the same and the qualities of it all are very different.

I really don't understand the hype about this at all, sounds pretty ordinary to me

it's not "hype". it's just a real right excitement about something that's very fresh and beautiful and much needed in the IDM world..

respect to you as a person, but, you think 'Further Vexations' is the best Black Dog album..

so your taste is obviously quite a bit 'squ-iff' here, shall we say.. ? ;)

a Skam album of musical tracks made out of cuts of VHS video tapes, to me is not a "pretty ordinary" thing.

i find the tracks have quite a nice nostalgic warmth to them too.

imo we need more new artists like VHS Head.

they'll give it a 3 for not being a BOC side project. Or a 10 because no one's heard of him before.

exactly, so their opinion means....fuck all, unless you're one of the hipsters that actually check it on an hourly basis

Had a short break from the album, about a week or so, then I got hooked again today. Much fun!

Not dipped into it for a bit now either (so many other releases lately), looking forward to getting back to it again. And let's not all forget 'Video Club' either.

So, no reviews at all in the media. Bad times for the music.
