so wrong, on so many levels.

He's not afraid to bring the funk, or the occasional cheese but hey we all need a little bit of cheese in our sterile, nerdy world of IDM.

I dig it. This is the type of album that you "dig".

It's a good album

"Take Off Your Shirt", coming to an iPad commercial near you!

Great album, btw.

wish i didn't have to, but i always skip take off your shirt.

the album is incredibly good tho. i have a soft spot for feminine eye. it is so sweet

A few good tracks but this is Bibio's weakest by far in my opinion. This is the first release he's put out that I haven't been totally gaga over, perhaps it will grow on me.

K is for Kelson is the best song

Bibio got James Blake'd

Turning from this...

Into this...

he got a hair cut?

I really feel strange about myself but i'm totally in love with 'take off your shirt'. I usually hate rock/indie or whatever it is.

Same. I feel like we are one of the few people who truly enjoy this album, despite my hating attitude towards WATMM's hyped artists.

I haven't heard it all the way through properly yet, but I've heard each track individually and I'm really liking it so far! I loved Ambivalence Ave. and this seems to pick off right where that left off... songs are initially catchy, but at the same time I can hear all kinds of depth that will come to the surface after more listens.

Excited about this release :)

Take Off Your Shirt rules, I totally agree. Mind Bokeh will definitely find itself in my top 10 of the year, I feels it.

The album rocks.. that song not so much but the rest does indeed, though it might grow on me

Having had this on promo for about a month I'm pleased to report that this album will really sink its hooks in with repeat listens. Bibio knows about craftsmanship.

Fully agree Lucy - definitely a grower that gets better. But on that first listen I really love how each track has you on your toes for what will come next. He's got a great command of circumventing expectation.

True, can't stop listening to it

Hi. I'm new here, but look forward to hearing this album.

I thought Ambivalence Ave was interesting to say the least, and it got an awful lot of play in this house.

wooooooow, we sync'd this is chatmm last night and jesus.... this record is poopoo-garbo. seriously seriously disappointing.

yeah I hate to be a hater in a thread, but I just can't get over how disappointed I am here.

This might be a werid/stupid question.

But i remember when i heard some previews of this album, a long time ago.. I heard a track with a jazz horn in the chorus (something like that)

Anyone who heard the leak, who might know what song i'm talking about?

It it was Feminine Eye I was looking for :P

Not as good as it sounded on the album sampler.

Light Sleep is awesome though.

I'm surprised at all the disappointment... is it really THAT different sounding than Ambivalence Ave??
