Rustie - Glass Swords

Apart from the amazingly cringey lyrics, I still think Jimmy Edgar's 'XXX' album is super underrated and does this kind of thing better than Rustie (or Shobaleader One) - at least in terms of production. Way punchier, tighter and more refined. I love nostalgic, synthy, video-gamey, soul-pop music, and I had enjoyed Glass Swords before, but its overall sound just doesn't cut it for me like it used to.

i'm listening to this right now, i think "this kind of thing" doesn't have nothing to do with what rustie is making, you were thinking about Chromeo ;)

rustie is way more videogamish and glitch-hopish, and it's not so robotic, i mean, this jimmy edgar album sounds very quantized.

oh and rustie is much more childish, which works better for me atm, i'm a bit tired of sexy adult music...

which came first? xxx or shobaleader one?

I hammered this album out this morning whilst cleaning the kitchen, the sun was shining and I didnt have a hangover.

It sounds great in the sunshine!

Thanks for "XXX", didn't know Jimmy did something that sexy

I believe xxx came first. I remember not being able to get into shobaleader one much because it sounded so tinny and poorly mixed compared to Jimmy Edgar's vocoder sexfest. Not that it's ever good to sit around comparing things (and those two releases are quite different, despite the vocoders and funky 80s synths), but I had just listened to xxx quite a bit, you see.

My Pandora just played this, and I thought it was Rustie -- uncanny resemblance!

Same synth sounds, same drum machines, same tongue-in-cheek pitch-shifted triplets, same chipmunk voices ...

woah, fucking awesome!

The drum at 0:29 is 100% Rustie

well, i just listened to this jimmy edgar guy and thats just a completely different style of music, has nothing to do with rustie in my opinion. jimmy edgars sounds like some boring produced fusion-funk-synth-pop crossover, rustie is some quite good aquacrunk.

but i consider the following better as rustie (and this is some music of similar style to rustie):

its from a pretty nice EP called "Spectrum Riff".

It's the theme music for Adam Buxton's Bug on Sky Atlantic.
