Patten - GLAQJO XAACSSO

it's on spotify. therefore i shall be listening

I feel like this is a great start.... Not sure where it's going yet, but I think I will like it.

Keep coming back to this, as a big fan of Actress I knew I'd probably like it, but Mr Patten has delivered one of the releases of the year.

Anyone know what the second disc is like?

I got the cd with bonus disc yesterady, only had 1 full listen of proper album and listened to the 1st half of the edits disc. Loving the sound of both tho! The bonus edits disc is really nice from what i've heard so far, is less frantic & more chilled, Reminds me quite a bit of Andy Stotts last 2 e.ps.

I was wondering if the second disc was just the two remix eps (that were put out for free dl.)

what about a andy stott/patten collab. it could be called "We Stay XQLAGO"

no is different, is edits of the tracks of the album by patten but they sound quite different from the stuff on proper album. Them remixes are cool as well though.

Anyhow been listening to this quite a bit today & very impressed, is quality stuff.

i must be getting old, because the title of this album really annoys me

I regularly check watmm for listening suggestions and was intrigued by all the love in this thread. Frankly I am having trouble enjoying this album - it just sounds abrasive, messy, and totally over-compressed in the worst way. "Blush mosaic" sounds like something Thom Yorke/Radiohead would try to make.. yeah I went there.

Can someone explain why everyone seems to like this so much? I've seen threads berating this type of messy, excessive compression production so I was surprised to see everyone eat this up. It gives me a headache. Is electronic music leaving me behind?

 

 

This made me think a bit about why I like the album so much and I'm having a really hard time trying to explain it. I myself have turned my nose up at music with similar characteristics but for some reason, this album just resonates with me. It's like the perfect storm of controlled creative improvisation with pleasing sounds that produces a vibe I can't get enough of. But (in a rare moment) I'm actually at a loss for words trying to pinpoint it!

 

I don't think electronic music is leaving you behind, I think this is just another offshoot that perhaps you don't care for. I felt the same way about Rustie's "Glass Swords" album... I cannot get through one single track off that record without getting massively bored or appalled, yet everyone is gushing over it. They're even comparing it to video game music and I LOVE video game music! But I cannot get into that album.

 

 

Also, did anyone else get a SAWII vibe from Patten's Boiler Room TV live set around 8:10 - 9mins in? Loved it.

I like the album, but not nearly as much as some people in this thread seem to. the rhythmic aspects of the music seem kind of amateurish; maybe this is part of the reason I find the bonus cd to be a more enjoyable listen. that said the album itself is growing on me. people have compared the production to actress and andy stott, but it doesn't really have the same claustrophobic atmosphere as the stuff I've heard from them; patten's production is more psychedelic to me. in a way the music reminds me of phthalocyanine with an influence from all that dilla-inspired music.

that are probably the two main reasons I like this album so much. anyway, the earlier stuff from patten is way more boring and acoustic, reminds me a bit of bibio. was hoping for more.

here you can stream two bonus tracks: http://es.paperblog.com/patten-2-glaqjo-xaacsso-bonus-tracks-827730/

is that all or are there more?

I got the album and bonus disc, but I can't find any sort of tracklisting for the Edits CDr, does one not exist?

You know, I still haven't had a chance to listen as yet, I'm so busy at the moment. I think there are 10 tracks, can't remember the duration. Got my copy from Bleep, although they didn't send it out with the album, I had to email them, apparently they forgot.

bleep did the same with my order. they replied when I emailed them about it and sent the bonus cd, though, so no worries.
