Shobaleader One: D'Demonstrator

i don't love it, but don't hate it also.

for me it is not as good as his earlier music, but i support this whole new direction and i want to follow its evolution.

might need to grow with time, as i am enjoying Cryptic Motion a little more this time and didn't when i first heard the single.

yes.

edit: if you don't enjoy tracks like plug me in, abstract lover and endless night, you are not human.

i love abstract lover.

it's quite sexy.

I like all the tracks except Max Planck and On Fire Again. This album is funky as hell!

i'd really like to know what could come next

but we'll just have to wait and see

i'm into it.. can't wait for the vinyl, hope it comes with another awesome poster!

do we really need another shobaleader thread? what's this? like, the fifth?

that said, I digiddy-dig-igg-it.

Just arrived through my door... poor work on packaging the album Warp. Surely the work of one of the label's mainstays deserves slightly more luxury or at least more attention to presentation. This flimsy package is suitable for an EP but not an album, no effort what so ever. I understand in our current climate of music publishing the focus is more on the music because of digital sales and pirating but this just seems a bit lazy for a label that's released a great deal of music with fantastic design in the past.

It'll take me a bit longer to form an opinion on the music. First listen and I'm enjoying it more than JAS but I think it'll take me a while to adjust to this style. I reckon I'll be able to get into about 50% of it. I might be going mad but I couldn't hear any of the French cartoon theme tunes or super-slick R'n'B that they mention in the Boomkat review.

Did you even listen to Plug Me In, Abstract Lover, or Endless Night?? <---- Obvious slick R&B inspirations on those tracks

did you get the vinyl version? so it's basically packaged like a 70s album? i can understand that if so. the latest pivot one was the same, thin vinyl with flimsy packaging. JAS had some pretty flimsy packaging too.

is there a poster?

no poster

I had expected the Digital release to come out weeks ago, way before the actual release date as with all the other hi profile releases from warp this year.

Other than Into The Blue, I really don't like this at all.

I could realy love some of those tracks if Daft Punk would pull out their cocks out of Toms arse and wont force him singing like he swallowed a fockin Robot.....

Even though endless night sounds good....

I can see what you mean, I was hoping he might have done something like a commercial R'n'B style track in his own style, the tracks you mention may have a hint of it but I would like to hear something like his take on UK Garage with Red Hot Car. I'm not implying I want jungle breaks over an R'n'B style work out but perhaps something like Timbaland gone weird.

Personally, I feel it could be as simple a thing as the drums being the thing that drags the last two/three albums down. Give them a bit more kick, variety and badass-ness, and all the rest would also feel good.

i see, maybe it would work.

same sexy and r&b-ish feeling, more drums.

I really like this album after the 5th listen. I am on drugs, however. And beer.

wtf?

i have listened to this

it is an excellent record made in poor taste... i hear more hip/hop r&b and lite jazz influence in this than is healthy...

though i like cryptic motion which maybe makes me think if there was more stfu and bass it would all be better
