i'm sure he will but hopefully not the same formula, nothing wrong with it, but a new album is new.

Some Andy in a Boiler Room to tide us over.

People didn't like Luxury Problems? Jesus.

I don't know, the vocals were pretty stiff and drab sounding for the most part. I'm not surprised a fair amount of people think it was ok, including myself. Could've been better, though could've been worse I suppose...

Yep that BR set is all killer - damn shame they fucked up the recording with those dropouts. That beat he drops over bad wires around 31 min is gargantuan.

im so excited for this. cant find any place to preorder this though. anyone?

Really liking the sound and atmosphere of Violence, glad it's not another knackered house number

hmmm good single! I'm not that familiar with Andy Stott but I remember him talking about his recent approach on distortion in a recent interview when the Millie & Andrea album came out. I guess this track reflects that because it has a lot of distortion compared to his previous albums. Which is pretty cool.

Well it's a Boomkat affiliated label so they'll be the first to have it available I bet, probably still too early.

I think a certain percentage of watmm don't like music with vocals on. I've read that a few times on here. Each to their own I guess. So I think that's probably what put some people off Luxury Problems.

Luxury Problems and Drop The Vowels were both amazing, I loved them.

I'm not big on vocals but LP was fine for me, it worked well with the music.

Andy Stott is always worth a listen.

this track is weird. def a dif vibe from past stuff.

thank you kind sir

Luxury Problems was rather bloody good, a logical follow on to the ones before really. Excited to hear this next album, I love moody techno right now (ital)

the preview track was so bad I'm very worried atm... :(

Just saw him last night, had a chance to talk to him and Miles and Sean before the show, as they were just very chill and sitting outside the venue psyching themselves out. Millie (Miles) and Andrea (Andy) had probably the best set, Miles and Sean were good too. Once AS took the stage, the system's bass went into MAX mode and it was not unlike torture. He played "Violence" with some jungle cuts over it in parts.

What he did mostly was slow jungle with trap hihats over it, no lie, and he even had a few minutes of gabber. He did not play a single second of released material, so I didn't get to see classic 2012 Andy Stott, but was still cool.

Here is a clip:

The best part of the night was when I first got there after the doors opened. The place was empty and Andy Stott was on stage playing one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard, just kind of warming up or something.

Giving this album it's first spin now, and with the rain pouring outside and autumn killing summer it fits perfectly. A natural progression from Lux and the Ep's. Starts of really slow and soft, but gets harsher as the record moves on. He's really pushing the distortion this time, maybe a bit much for my taste, but I only have 320 mp3, så look forward to FLAC's. The vocalist from Lux is still used here and I love the interplay between the distorted music and the soft pretty voice.

I have a feeling this will be played a lot in the coming months!

luxury problems sucked because andy stott can't make an good album unless it has a three word title - just one of those weird laws about the manchester dub techno business i guess.
