Tim Hecker - Dropped Pianos

Sounds way better than Ravedeath.

this is the best but ravedeath is better lets not get silly

don't understand the lack of ravedeath appreciation, i think it's his most musically mature work by a mile. I guess it doesn't give the listener warm fuzzies like some of his earlier stuff

ppl just dont get the idea of the album. they treat it like its ambient music like they can put it at low volume and fall asleep to it or something ,when it is much more in the spectrum of tim hecker music that you are supposed to turn up to volume 11 on a large speakers system

No trolling intended, but I would say it sounds even better than Ravedeath (which I wasn't totally fond of).

I am angry.

the problem with ravedeath is that there's no tonal variety.. most of the album is in the same 'mood' or key, and the first third (in the fog?) is very tedious, but the latter half is really nice. same complaint goes for these new "sketches," though i haven't heard them properly. tim hecker's music has broad appeal because it beats you over the head, tonally. i'd be more interested if he put more focus on atonal sounds, but still kept suggestions of melody here and there. also, he could do well to use more dry sounds/sound environments, instead of drenching everything in effects/reverb

This.

wrong wrong WRONG

I've only heard samples of this from Boomkat and just from those it sounds more interesting to me than Ravedeath did. Ravedeath was like a porno showing nothing but hour of continual cumshots - Interesting for those wanting instant gratification but swiftly becomes rather tedious and samey, this however is more like spending an entire evening with a woman that's concluded with a night of passion.

i'll need to finally make time for this

Yeah this is a great listen.

Wow! Nice said.

Will definitly check out dropped pianos.

I much prefer the cumshots.

IF you can handle the site's shit-tastic streaming player, there is an excellent new "fireside chat" with tim hecker here:

http://redbullmusica...com/shows/5030/

Its a combination of interview and his tracks. I recommend hitting 'add to favorites', then 'pop up radio player' from the top of the screen and play it that way

Also, LOL @ pretty much all press using that photo of him standing in the cornfield. Its great
