ltd edition vinyl on boomkat

thanks for the heads up. weird that this version isn't available directly from the label...

how were those two soundtracks he released recently?

just listen to them

http://benfrost.bandcamp.com/

also this guy worked with Ben on Aurora

Have his previous records, which i love, and saw him as part of Swans-curated gig last April at Koko in London.

He had two drummers on stage with him and it was one of the most intense, visceral experiences i have ever heard; the bass was thumping through my chest like i've never experienced and there was no respite throughout the whole performance. It was a very different sound, much heavier & more aggressive, than his previous records.

New track on Soundcloud sounds wonderful, as always, very much looking forward to this.

you might just throw your heardphones out the window,

i just listened to "Venter" via a youtube upload on my beast system and i'm pretty sure if i would have neighbours i'd be arrested or knifed right now, that bass/drone would make mala splatter his pants, i had to hide under the table twice

This is it i think. This is the album that will collapse my house and get me killed, gentlemeng it's been a pleasure

well I require that "youtube upload" to confirm, bro

the track is already posted a million times in this thread but here you go

i just had to hear it in full glory on my system

ah sorry. I always forget that the album is called "aurora".

thanks anyway,

Track 1 ww3 has begun alarm sirens everywhere

beware Track 2 if you listen with headphones !

Good to hear; am considering going to the Village Underground gig.

this is the shit i'm waiting for!

new aurora vid on his website btw

OH GOD WHEN IS THIS OUT???

BEN PLISS RELEASE!!!

Put it out or someone will put it out for you, homes.

I heard this whole thing like 3 weeks ago.

fucking hell what a brain shattering blizzard!!!

Sounds like a ghettoblaster playing Fuck Buttons being put through the autechre washing machine.

Downloaded this 3 hours ago and can't stop listening. It's the album of his career and one of the best I've heard in years. I don't know if I'll listen to it again often because of how brutal and maximal it sounds. It's almost too much of a good thing. I rarely buy albums after downloading them these days but good old Ben will have me pre order the yellow vinyl plus poster edition.

I was so disappointed with Fennesz's Becs but this just makes everything alright again for people needing a fix of this kind of sound design. Amazing, amazing album.

you got my hopes high! aaarghghg gotta wait 2 more weeks, it's killin me

Ok, I'm at work with the album on repeat. I'll be coming back to this obsessively during the next months. It's a genuine high-concept album with recurring melodic themes, soundscapes and that bass drum kick that devours everything in site. It's the sound of modern civilisation and it's electricity system being engulfed by the giant throat of a tribal ancestor leading to the core of the earth.

The attention to detail of its infinite layers of sound is basically unheard of. Perfect mastering, perfect processing, perfect progression.

I'm overwhelmed.

I will not say an extra word about this album.

They are pissing money away at this point, make with the digital vinyls already.
