fumi Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Pretty sad to see an album as good as this has garnered a mere 5 pages while an EP that no-one has even heard yet is already nearing the 30 page mark. I've nothing against it. I just think stuff on here is so overrated. WATMM has always basically been an Aphex Fan Forum with a bunch of other stuff bolted on to give it more credibility.

Herr Jan Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 I've never been a Plaid fan but once in a while I like to freshen up my ears with it. First album that really clicked with me after all those years was Reachy Prints, so I guess I'm slowly warming up to them. Seeing Tekkonkinkreet recently and catching them live with the gamelan orchestra last month helped too, that was cool. Just listened to the new album on Spotify yesterday, it was nice. Some great tracks (Dilatone, Yu Mountain, Wen, some others too) but like always, it hasn't really stuck yet. Enjoying it nonetheless.

Guest bitroast Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 need to re-watch tekkonkinkreet. music suits the film very nicely. don't particularly like that OST as a standalone album or anything (know some do!...can do heavens door tho).. :^) !!!

magdog Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 On my third listen now and so far this album gets better on each listen! More chilled and less experimental and the sounds are very well produced as you'd expect from Plaid. I was hoping Plaid would make an album better suited for night time listening and that's exactly what we get. Would liked a couple of longer tracks which would've made the album longer.. oh well. Over all i'm really enjoying the album... good to see Ed&Andyx throwing some tbd vibes in there too. PS. what's with the holes?

Unless you order the CD from Amazon Japan or HMV Japan, you never will. Back in 2014, Ototoy hadn't figured on so much interest from outside Japan. Lots of people on here bought the Syro bonus track. They also managed to get the Reachy Prints bonus. I'm pretty sure it only became apparent late last year that they began employing geo-restrictions because people were trying to get hold of the bonus track that came with OPN's Garden Of Delete. You can try going through a VPN but someone I know tried that and it still blocked them. You basically need a Japanese IP address. It's a situation that really sucks. The reason it even exists is because Japanese consumers have to pay more for the compact discs and so the record companies feel obliged to throw them something extra.

Bechuga Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Honestly, I've rarely heard a bonus track that made it worth tracking down the CD / download. The best was Away, but doens't really fit the album for me so I don't have to hear it. Besides, someone always uploads a foreign copy of it eventually, so just bide your time.

I'm fine with it. I can indulge in listening to one of my favourite music producers without having to deal with drool dribbling fandom that is stalkerish and creepy.

Lianne Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 I love this album. I've basically always wanted an album like this - something very warm, flowing, 'easy to listen to' and chilled out that also has plenty of depth and interesting harmonies / melodies and an atmosphere that isn't too sickly sweet. It's hard to explain, but this one does it. I also really like the flute!

Man this weekend is so good, yesterday my Bytes vinyl was finaly delivered, so today is full on Plaid day :D Happy times @ Herr Jan: Did you go to the Plaid with Gamelan orchestra gig in Amsterdam last month? How was it? I wanted to go, but nobody was interested in joining me and I didn't want to by myself :( And guys, don't worry for not having the fanboyish things in this subforum.

dsil303 Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 2nd listen; love the album. It has this typical vibe only Ed and Andy can achieve. It sounds quite close to Reachy Prints.
