When does an ironic hipster just become a douche who dresses like a moron?

A while ago.

where did we go wrong

Watmm: the only thing that matters more than your music is what you dress like.

This is great!

oh my. those portraits ARE a bit unfortunate.

i think this thing sounds pretty old-skool-Machinedrum actually! lots of harmonic echoes from his first albums. i thought he'd lost me with his post-Merck stuff but this is pretty fresh.

machinedrum plees n thx

This album is absolutely killing it for me right now. I just keep coming back to it over and over. Best album of 2011 IMO.

I didn't realize how much this album and the africa hitech album were influenced by footwork. I had heard a little footwork, but recently got that bangs & works compilation on planet mu. I like how hypnotic and disorienting it can be; I feel kind of late to the party considering how long the style has been around.

Now U Know The Deal has some seriously nice sounding beats, almost Analord-y

Someone on Sacred Frequency:

Surely "Sacred Frequency" is just a speeded-up version of "1969" by Boards Of Canada with a few extra beats. Is that legal?

I don't hear it, who does?

right?

I'd written this dude off but I have to give him credit, this is a fantastic album. Now if I can just erase that picture from my mind we'd be all set.

I've gotten into the original footwork stuff lately. there are some real gems. I do have to admit that overall machinedrum's stuff goes down a lot smoother.

does Ramadanman's Work Them count as original footwurk?

I don't think so, but I'm not from Chicago

A bit late to the party but this albums my album-of-the-year so far!!

Tracks 4/5 anyone?!

Infectious stuff

No. More influenced by Baltimore stuff, verrrrrry little to do with footwork in my opinion. Check some DJ Tamiel or something, reminds me much more of that kinda style.

DJ Rashad's still better.

What a grower! Went from being pretty meh about this album to absolutely loving it. His best since his debut album I think.

I can't stop listening to it. Must've listened to GBYE 20 times in a row.

'Room(s)' is like delicious audio candy; sweet, simple and accessible; although I can't help but feel that, like candy, one could easily overdose on this sound if listened to many times in a row...

holy shit, this album is stunning.
