released november 18

due to the insanely high reviews this album is getting, I had to give it a listen...I usually prefer more synth/drone ambient as opposed to piano tracks, which are featured heavily here, but I enjoyed it and definitely feel it needs alot more listens to fully take in

There's also this:

I saw his solo gig at Decibel. Pretty incredible. Will most likely be picking this up.

it's a great take on a live album. it's long, but it gets better instead of dropping off.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!

Says is a tune...

tip top album. love it.

Yep, this is a great album!

I saw him live a year ago, was awesome. He did something with rhodes too IIRC.

are the tracks all arpeggiated and repetitive like that first soundcloud?

is spaces all layered and shit? that "says" tracks sounds new age-lite, slight, not a welcome progression.

thought screws (free) was good stuff.

there's only one other stripped-down sythy track on there, i think. mostly piano-oriented with a lot of it spent moving into the melody with a little experimentation. personally, i think 'spaces' has too much that doesn't get down to business with the kind of efficiency i'd expect from 'screws' or 'winter music' - short, to-the-point albums. the electronic stuff is mostly fascinating because it's not what i'd expect him to be doing, and yes, i think it sounds like electronic music made by someone with not much experience of it - either as a listener or creator. great piano player, though. of course, this is a live album containing tracks from previous albums performed in ways which sounds a little different, extended or blended.

not so original...just a pale cover of this:

is nils frahm a smalltown boy? is he trying to tell us something?

edit: ok, not that pale after all

Listening to this guy for the first time, live right now on Boiler Room TV. His banter in between the tracks is rather cringeworthy but the music's badass.

i did see him live. really worth it

I really dug the track Clark remixed on Feast/Beast (I've heard the original too) but that's all I really know of him... suppose I should look into this
