these bass rumblings are massively destructive. those who are bored by this, may simply not fancy minimal, bass-heavy brainmusics?

Or maybe they just prefer music that's more than just fancy sound design that doesn't go anywhere for five minutes. You know, like his other stuff.

Yeah, I kinda agree. His new stuff has been very sound design-ish... and hell, it sounds fucking terrific but it's not very interesting to listen to for more than 2 minutes.

i wouldn't even try honestly, it's like trying to argue with a 10 year old about why the original Terminator is a superior film to Transformers 3

killer mix

edit: i should have posted this in the two fingers thread

i'm quite harppy with isam aside from 'wooden toy' trac, which i find to be an irritating interruption.

i deeply resent your condescending remark awepittance. the effects of which will lead me into days of deep depression, in which i will undoubtedly be verbally abusive to others and ingest unnecessarily large dosages of proscription drugs. i will then suffer from years of digestive and immune disfunction. thx

What about us, Reddy-poo? I thought you loved me...

listening to some of tracks of the the album right now. I'm quite liking it but find it poor in low-medium frequencies, which is quite frustrating because the rest of the spectre is pretty well made. I don't have them on this computer but some of the previous albums were already like that, or ?

nah, his previous albums - especially before Foley Room - had a much more earthy sound with more low-end.

this is one of my favourite basslines of all time and one of my favourite Amon tracks (from the same era as Bricolage):

Yeah well I was thinking about Foley Room, sure his firsts albums have a warmer color. In the end I think that Bricolage is really the one which has more appeal to me. Permutation is pretty wicked too.

nice track you posted, I didn't know it.

cheers. it's a b-side kinda thing from (IIRC) the Chomp Samba single.

he's got a lot of cool tracks hidden away on singles/EPs. El Chimi from (IIRC) the Slowly single has a really nice horn sample melody. and the Verbal EP has this awesome track he did with Kid Koala which samples (or maybe recreates, I dunno) that classical melody that is also used as the Tetris theme.
