this and the vhs head thread prove that the more replies a new & upcoming releases thread, the worse the release probably is and that i will never listen to it

VHS Head is great, so you're just an idiot.

are you suggesting that this shit is not objectively shit?

i'm suggesting you're being a bit of a luddy-duddy, sorry.

it's fun, hypnotic, intense, new. it's dumb and it fucking knows it and who cares. actually reveals hidden depths when you listen to the whole record (as i'm betting zero of the haters have). i paid for it and i like it.

all you cool kids who've heard something better in the same style like years ago mahn - post the links, i want to hear that too.

DJ Nate doesn't know where he is right now let alone if his music is dumb...

punk:

HURR DURR THEY ONLY KNOW 3 CHORDS AND THEY CANT TUNE THEIR GUITARS

synths:

HURR DURR IT'S NOT EVEN A REAL INSTRUMENT

dub:

HURR DURR THEY'RE JUST TURNING SOME KNOBS

sequencers:

HURR DURR THEY'RE NOT EVEN PLAYING THEIR INSTRUMENTS

rap:

HURR DURR IT'S JUST SOME GUY TALKING OVER A DRUM MACHINE

house:

HURR DURR IT'S JUST GOES DOOF DOOF DOOF DOOF FOREVER

samples:

HURR DURR IT'S JUST STEALING

jungle:

HURR DURR IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF DRUM LOOPS AND REGGAE SAMPLES

juke:

HURR DURR IT'S JUST SOME KID QUANTIZING IN TRIPLETS IN FRUITYLOOPS

etc etc etc etc etc...

i don't feel that way about any of the things you just mentioned. i don't even feel that way about juke. you're being a bit of an internet baby about this, aw.

how much of the tracks are like ima burn him and find your dreams ?

note: i realize you're trying to put it in a musically historic context, where old grandmas have said shit like that every time a new genre breaks old conventions/expectations, but i'm not sure it can be applied to every scenario, or it quickly just becomes a crutch. anyway, i think most of the negativity is coming from sites like boomkat etc. ultrahyping this release, when it's not really grabbing people as much as it's "grabbed" them. i think there's a space and venue for everything, and the fact that µ is releasing this shouldn't be a problem for anyone, but it's just that us old codgers that have followed the label for a long time have gotten our expectations shook up a bit these last few years.

it pretty much sounds like what you'd expect 25 tracks of that to sound like, except for when it doesn't, which is when the magic happens. kind of a fundamental truth about minimalism really

depends what your expectations are - IDM was cool back in the day in a large part because it was new, so i expect a decent IDM label to not just keep putting out records in a style from 1993, but also to be constantly looking out for what's new. they might not always pick a winner but personally i enjoy the journey as much as the destination.

compare with certain other artist-owned label that only signs acts that sound like that artist

it's hard to take you seriously when you imply that rephlex signing 1 artist (monolith) that's being compared to tuss implies that it only signs aphex clones?

where do i say it's one artist? where do i say clones?

nice try.

honestly, this genre has been infested with the thought that you need to force 'invention' constantly in order for it to be valid. it seems like people are looking for the next big thing constantly now, and anything will do as long as it's deviating sufficiently from the norm. what a shit scene, really. there's no organic musical evolution here past the days of techno and house. last post, fuck this.

thanks for sharing

thanks for being a personalityless internet mouthbreather that's just regurgitating memes!

look bro if you need a hug i'm right here, kay?
