I still stick with my original review of that album -

Youre listening wrong.

Mmmmmmh, creamy

I definitely didn't "get it" when they opened for ae, but I get it now. Not sure what happened or why.

its halfway between sonic's bumpers & electronic genius. mark fell latest cassette was a twist (or something) on guitar hero but he needs to play Sonic instead !!

Sounds pretty good judging by a couple of the tracks. I completely get where mcbpete is coming from, I was the same with SND. I found them a little pointless, but for some reason always found myself coming back for a listen here and there. Somehow their hooks were sunk in, I think once in a while the pretentious artfag part of me emerges and it's on those days that I listen to SND.

I'm going to be the first person in the world to judge SND as alright. Seeing as people seem to only hate or jizz over them. Nothing special on the whole, but some good stuff. I find that I uh... observe their pieces, more than get sucked into it. I guess it's more scientific than emotional to me.

Also, this may be of interest to fans:

I was hooked after the first song I heard, which was the SND remix of Push Chairs (not sure if it's really a remix though...):

it's pretty much just rhythm. atavism is to me a minimalist electro album. tender love is minimalist u.k. garage. I like the purity of it and the use of silence.

    Quote

Since the tracks are essentially results from a starting point, I guess you arranged them in numerical order, but did you mean for them to be played in that order too?

 

“I’m not too keen on track follows track, etc. It’s nice to have a different overall structure; thats what i liked about some early Brinkmann or Ikeda releases, the structure of the album. I think it’s down to the way I play music; I rarely play something from start to end, so for me it’s just something to skip around in. People who come to my house are always annoyed at me because I just play 30 seconds of stuff here and there. Actually, I never listened the whole album through until recently. With UL8 I didn’t even listen to individual tracks the whole way through until I got into the master studio in Berlin, haha! At one point I had to stop Lupo and change something because it was a part I hadn’t really heard properly. I guess it’s a bit silly really, but I have such a short attention span.”

Wow. Just wow.

the later half of this album is beautiful. I was starting to listen to it on a roadtrip and it became pretty hypnotic at certain points

That's fine and dandy, but that's a bad sign if the composer can't even make it through his own work. I mean, it sounds lazy to me, or that he's making music for the wrong reasons.

That being said, it's still good if you're in the mood.

i think it's worth considering exactly what kind of music he does under his own name. It's almost designed to be jarring in some way, not that i use that word negatively i just mean as far as experimental music goes even drone and noise music seems designed for more of a epic listening session. So i dont think there is anything wrong with what he's saying, he composes things through a process in which the product is not necessarily the most important part.

I can see why someone would find this mindset a little confusing though, if Mark Fell made un compelling music and did this it would be one thing, but his music is very unique.

When are SND going to release shit again.

I like Mark Fells stuff, but I think he needs to be grounded a bit to stop him going of the chains.

yes, this is fantastic. 10-A got a hearty lol outta me the first time i heard with its clap craze.

UL8 on the other hand is much more difficult and jarring, not sure i'll be coming back to it.

UL8 seems a little bit on the 'attack on silence' side of things, those high pitched tonal effects are pretty intense. Multistability is definitely the more easy listening cousin

i love the 'acids in the style of rian treanor' pieces from UL8 - you know the way that 'rollin 'n' scratching' by daft punk had that 'i am peaking on ecstasy by proxy' feel to it? they're that, but glitchy and .snd. completely disorientating.
