Photodementia - Fig. 04

The Fig. 04c artwork looks like a cassette cover more than a CD one, doesn't it ? (from the format I mean)

sure but it says "PHOTODEMENTIA Fig. 04 - CD - (2013)"

ah so maybe they managed to find out how to fit a CD into a cassette box. Tricky Rephlex team.

well, i for one like this album better than figure 3. i find it more concise, perhaps less fun but more interesting musically speaking. figure 3 was more experimental and varied, yet less interesting in my book. tastes, you know

No, it looks like a CD tray inlay, like what you'd see on the back of a CD case rather than a liner note cover.

An ugly CD release without a front sleeve is SO Rephlex

Just release it already

I need it

Exactly this.

Which is what it will be.

Where are people seeing the artwork?

I think the other Picture is taken from this site:

aw no release date yet.

So Monolith is apparently directly involved into this project. Not surprising with Fig. 04, but I can't imagine he made all of that alone (especially Fig. 03). I believe in the "collaborator" rumor, and won't be surprised if the collaborator was big daddy (although big daddy can go further than Fig. 04 does in my opinion).

fig. 04 does nothing for me, sadly. there's one song that sounds like 'volume 1' outtake and it's my fav, but rest is kinda meh. missing the freshness and brilliance of fig. 03.

Why did he announced it so clearly ? Kind of ruin the thing. Really don't care about who Photodementia actually is but the secret thing was cool, and with that artwork showing real people and Monolith being so obvious about who is behind the project, Fig. 04 seems less like a "magic" release than Fig. 03

Maybe he wanted the recognition he deserves to get...

how about monolith has nothing to do with photodementia and rdj asked him to pretend he's the artist? that would be the perfect hoax.

It is still a mystery because no one knows who these other two people are.

I think Awepittance makes a really good point about the production on Photodementia.

I don't care what anyone says, I am not going to believe that either release had more than a nominal influence from Monolith unless there is irrefutable proof, because I just don't think he's capable of making something like Fig. 03. Neither emotionally/creatively or in production chops.

Honestly, I think it would make a lot of sense if the shitty tracks on youtube that didnt make it to release were Monolith's, and nothing else. first, to throw people off the scent of it being AFX, without ruining the quality of the physical release. second, because I dont believe monolith is capible of doing something stylistically that AFX hasn't done first, and it makes total sense that he would be in on Photodementia being AFX, and thinking "oh hey I should ape this too" and going off and making shallow photodementia sound-alikes.

If I am wrong, and proof surfaces that monolith made all the tracks, then I will absolutely have more respect for him.

and if that is the case, and monolith keeps up with WATMM, then I owe him an apology. Otherwise though...

 

edit: I should specify though, I don't in fact have solid belief that this is afx either, I'm just going into hypotheticals here

Its more than likely Dave alone or Dave and co.

Some of the pads/bass sounds off both the records are exactly the same or very close from Welcome. He has the production chops and c'mon man, will you stop saying his work lacks emotion or creativity. The last two tracks on volume 1 are alone enough to stand up with the rephlex crowd and be better than 95% of WATMMs producers.

 

Live, but if you don't see creativity or emotion in that, you just have a stick up your ass about the dude.

 

(end rant)

so yeah, I got this album, love it.

 

Stop wanking this dude off and get around listening some more music to widen your palette. You sound like this is your end of the line in music terms and you dismiss everyone who doesn't agree with you as tone deaf or ignorant. Just fuck off already.

Hey, how do you say 'suck it' in your native language Fahz0r?

Its a Dave Monolith project, like a lot of people have suspected the entire time...

I'll get right on listening to more music and fucking off tho maybe daddy will like my widened palate.

This is like saying "Well RDJ is part of The Tuss but WHO THE HECK IS KAREN TREGASKIN ?"

No, not really.

you've got good listening skills, some serious amount of ear wax on here. the kids today .

This is great guys

Second album sounds more "Monolith", can't stand his Tuss cloning, sounds incredibly lame. Let it go, it's 2013 already!

pfffft...It sounds fuck all like the tuss, and far from a tuss clone, are you sure you aren't getting mixed up with the fact he uses some electronic synth sounds?

How the shit does this sound anything like The Tuss?
