Machinedrum - Room(s)

Finally had a listen to this on YouTube, not loving it yet but it's got something that makes we want to come back again. I like its energy, it sounds pretty different to anything else I've heard, not heard any Juke/Footwork stuff before.

Jah, U Don't Survive and Now U Know slay me every time, although the whole album is ace. Where Did We go Wrong is such a beautifully amazing closing track too, I can't bring myself to listen to it outside the context of the album as a whole.

yep, at the very least in top 5. it's good to see md finally getting some props because he's always been an immensely talented producer, only up until now most of his stuff's been wrong place / wrong time. The Sepalcure album is excellent too but IMO just a notch below this one.

At least top 5. Also, this is the 1st release of his that ever "clicked" with me.

Yeah. I feel this way too. I haven't really heard his IDM stuff, but I have heard all of his other Machinedrum stuff, and he was basically at "worthy of staying in the library" level for me, but I never frequently played him or had any real favorites. Room(s) on the other hand, is getting a lot of play time from me, and Sacred Frequency, U Don't Survive, and GBYE are all serious favorites.

completely agree, where a lot of his previous Machinedrum work, especially his stuff on Merck (which too often was indicitive of the whole label itself) seemed to heap a lot of common idm glitchery /stuttering over very laptoppy sounding hiphop beats. This new one has nothing specifically tricky or special effects laden about it it just has really good composition and catchy structure.

Yes.

eh--ah-oh-ah-burp-ah-eh-ah--oh-uh-ah-burp-eh-a-Chicago-Chicago-Chicago-Chicago ...

What is that first song saying?

Love this ablum & so does my wife!

She Died There?

pretty sure it's either "shit talker" or "shit taco"

yeah, this is my favorite album of 2011.

This is free to download, I made a thread about it. But everyone was too busy talking about skrillex to notice

I haven't listened to this album yet, and seeing as the honurable Knights of the Watmmers reckon it's so good I will be sure to check it out.,

High Five!!!

It's a nice enough remix, but the original is just too damn good. I hope this doesn't mean there's a half-baked remix album in the works.

I cannot stop listening to U Don't Survive. It is just so damn good.

my favorite from the record.

just an uplifting enery. never heard such a thing before

No one does it better, no

I was at a local record store today while christmas shopping, and I ran across this, and copy of DJ Nate Da Trak Genious, and as much as I would think it was funny to own a DJ Nate 2xLP, I had to go with Room(s).

Way cheaper than Planet Mu's price too.

fucking psyched to listen to it on my sound system.

I have yet to see it in shops. They have a couple of copies of Rustie, but I want this first.

this feels heavily indebted to boards of canada, w/the underlying melodic foundations (last track is a glaring example).. the album reminds me of boards and bibio a lot. sure, the affected vocals recall burial, but beyond that not much.

Sounds indebted to boards of canada if boards of canada is literally your only musical reference?

Anyway, The Statue for track of 2011, what a banger! The whole album has a great energy

It's similar to Boc because it's great. And Boc is great
