Cylob - The Quantum Loonyverse

not reallyyyyy.. as far as I know..

it's sort of like the "1 hit wonder" of cylobs rephlex idm career (despite still having a solid output of electronic goodness).

that Cymbly the best compilation album looks like a nice alternative to the spread out rephlex EPs and singles occupying my mp3 collection :)

cylobian sunset is one of the best IDM albums of all time - if any cylob newbs are wondering what to get on here, that's the ticket.

i'm also super stoked to listen to Trojan Tracks, to be honest :):)

always really liked the album but found the single track mix style a bit exhausting.

I agree Bitroast, to the extent I never bothered listening to to in its entirety. This is why I don't get on so well with pure ambient. The tracks are too long for my ADHD (self-diagnosed and only really relates to musics)

oh yeah, I found that on vinyl in Tokyo this year, it was one of the first IDM albums I heard. Lots of good memories!

yeah Cylobian Sunset + Diof '97 are awesome! & agree with dr lopez: one of these best IDM albums of all time! ;-) - & it's the only one i've got by Cylob. Can't say it's my favorite cuz it's the unique album i like from him...

Good to see him put his stuff up on Bandcamp. Nice xmas present.

His tunes are very hit and miss for me though. Often I find myself wondering whether the one finger melodies and two finger drumpatterns are just satire pissing on electronic music. Cylobian Sunset one of the best idm albums of all time? Am I missing something? Best thing on it was the title of the track ' I left my heart in syntax error' . Yes, the title. Which is brilliant in a nerdy way. :D

His work as Ambient News and most of the tracks from CMS3000 and Bounds Green surpass Cylobian Sunset imo. He is a little hit and miss, but when he does hit, it's awesome

i think a little bit of playful humor and cheeky snark are realllllllllly hard to pull off in electronic music and much harder than *wow factor hi-def synth work*

Yes! I can easily fill in my collection gaps now and pay Chris directly as well!

No Lobster Tracks though?

grabbing bounds green, i have cylobean sunset and ambient news, what else should i get? (i can't afford them all right now)

i would recommend Cylob Music System 3000. Formant Potaton is also quite fun

stream them and buy the ones you like..

heh, thanks. im averse to 128kbit mp3 streams like bandcamp and soundcloud have, though they're sometimes useful/enjoyable. i already knew cylob delivers and just wanted something right away

AOTY 2015

awesome to see everything on bandcamp. Did he ever write any more synth voice pop songs other than Cut The Midrange / Rewind?

 

edit: and I guess you could count Are We Not Men.. but that's kinda just a half song anyway

Does 'Living in the 1980s' count? The vocals are very heavily processed. That tracks has really grown on me, Mitch Murder played it in a recent podcast mix and it was awesome when it came on. I wish there was a whole pop Cylob album.

Cylob should better release this tomorrow or tonight instead of January 1st, with this in mind... And because I can't wait of course :) win-win!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagreed!

IT'S OUT: https://cylob.bandcamp.com/album/the-quantum-loonyverse

Yes was staying awake for him to release it.

Please Tell Me

Getting a Stone In Focus vibe from Lastime but I'm still drinking and slightly tipsy again after this release.

2015 starting proper with Fah and Cylob! Haven't heard the entire album yet but I did hear enough squelchy goodness already :)
