OH HELL NO!!!

what?!

 

I ain't got shit yet!!!

me neither, I just thought that was because of were I lived (fuckin' Canada). This'll be the last time I order straight from Detund.

It sounds too arhythmical and too hip-hopish for me...damn. I was expecting something else.

this is probably the most sexless vapid funkless flat bit of rubbish i've heard in ages,, well done Richard;-)

I don't know how anyone can complain about this that wanted it. It sounds like it's Richard Devine and that's exactly what I wanted.

Hip hop is VERY rhythmical. What are you talking about?

Has anyone received there copy yet? I pre-ordered the shit out of this and still nothing.

Mine arrived from Boomkat. Haven't played it yet though...

I honestly wasn't expecting to like this after that preview video/track and what others have said, but I think it's pretty amazing. Yes, it's totally IDM dark alien robot insect geek music, but my days it's good! It's been AGES since I've heard music like this of this high a calibre. Thank goodness he hasn't thrown in catchy melodies, 'real' drums, guitars, vocals, recognisable samples, or any nostalgic nods. There's enough of that around already, as good as it can be.

Listening to the leak now, this is sweetness. Been missing this kind of heavy textural/timbral exploration in IDM.

The leak is only 4 tracks though and as I understand it the digital version was supposed to be 6? Not complaining either way.

how's the music? I feel like i recognized one of the tracks (#2) in the form of RDevine's elektron octatrack demo video

Kero said mine went out last week. Apparently there was brown vinyl but the clear had just arrived and that was what was going out for pre-orders. Still makes me pissed as fuck to see this shit on sale at other out lets. let alone sold out in them.

you know what? I take back what I said it's actually pretty good.

watmmdisorder

it's pretty good, i just wish it sounded a little bit more 'forward' than where he left off last, especially after such a long wait. At this point i'd almost rather hear an album quality version of all those modular synth jams he puts up on vimeo. While i do appreciate glitchy darkness with no nostalgia inducing melodies, i much prefer the more textural/atmospheric take of Phonecia's Demissions or Dalglish's new stuff, that stuff feels like it's going into uncharted territory. I hope Richard changes direction on the next release.

that could take a while as he is now rebuilding his studio:

(from facebook)

I want this, can I purchase the digital files anywhere in the uk yet?

Kero just replied to my email finally, apparently mine will be sent out this week.....pretty shitty considering I pre-ordered this back in fucking november and it's been for sale since the beginning of the month.

i havent seen the official digital yet, but i will get it as soon as it comes out, the leak or vinyl rip sounds like pleasure to my ears, i thought he had given up on making music for more of a sound designer type of career, devine is nuts.

Still haven't received a thing.

Now that I've had a chance to listen to the whole thing a few times, I pretty much agree with all of this. It's good, super punchy, but it does feel like a short ep of a few live jams, rather than a full on release (and probably the link you posted is the keeper from the bunch). Which is fine, he knows how to make beats, but I guess I just want to hear all that unreleased 5.1 stuff he's supposedly been sitting on.

Richard just tweeted this. Does it look like there are 3 tracks on side A?

You know what... this thing is fucking beautiful. I wish it had been sealed or put in a bag for shipping, but otherwise really can't complain about anything, even having to wait for something that looks this beautiful. Haven't played it yet. Does look like there are some extras in the grooves though. Hmmmmmmm.....
