FaltyDL - Hardcourage

Yes.

I picked up a couple of the EPs on Ninja Tune and they are very nice. He seems to have a rather eclectic taste in productions, ranging from techno to garage, even some jungly type moments. Will give this a listen, but would kinda hope for some cohesion amongst the tracks.

I wished for something different. Since Falty is on Ninja Tune, i dislike his sound more and more. Just my opinion, still a great producer.

Will be getting this, day one.

Yeh there's even some braindance-y moments on this one (definitely on the first track - in the line of Monolith/DMX Krew/EOD/you know).

He goes over a wide variety of styles, but I feel there's still cohesiveness to it. It's not just a bunch of genre-tracks thrown together. He definitely has his sound.

not my cup of tea this. i like his releases on planet mu though http://www.discogs.com/FaltyDL-You-Stand-Uncertain/master/322079

Some of the samples sounds pretty great.. others not so much.

I'm not a fan of his first album. The second 'You Stand Uncertain' is just brilliant.

^Well said. FaltyDL just keeps impressing me more and more. He reminds me of Four Tet back when I first heard him in the mid-00s by being not just prolific but always trying something new (without being too experimental). It's not always brilliant but it's always decent and interesting.

I've loved faltydl since love is a liability. the style of music he makes varies a lot from the garage I first heard from him, but it's always on point.

the Kuedo-ish bit (For Karme) is well done too

Hardcourage is some good stuff, first tune is nice, has a lot of aphex synths going on. I haven't heard the full album, but it has a simple but somehow really nice video (kind of reminds me of 90's mtv):

there are quite a few filler trax on the record tho, really.

but

"stay I'm changed

"she sleeps"

"finally some shit/the rain stopped"

are definite hilites

Full album is now on soundcloud

Sounds good to me!

Like it, some okay stuff, but not too special or exciting imo.

Some tracks could be better left off, and would make the thing more thrilling, more an album.

My favorite release by him by a huge longshot. Moves him farther away from his more Burial-lite dubstep stuff towards a more melodic, genre bending experience.

Korben Dallas!

I just purchased this, unheard. Now I am on my way home at which point I will listen to this. Good updates watmm.

Tough choice at the store today between this, new Nosaj, or new Starkey. I went with this, we’ll see how that goes…
