Plaid - Clock

pre-ordered vinyl off the strength of this,altho its a no brainer with new plaid anyway,reminds me of a track off the heavens door soundtrack,cool merch too

Sounding f@@kin awesome!!!

100% classic Plaid track with a Plaid structure and very solid. Very good track. Progress as a band - not so much.

What I am a bit disappointed of, but that applies to bigger parts of the IDM scene as well, their melodies go 4/4 and notes like "A-C-D-B" (repeat numerous times). Be more creative!

Would also go well with Heavens door/Tekkon Kinkreet album.

However, after all a very good track,

Told you a new album was coming! This is lush

Yup totally reminiscent of Heavens Door, love the vibe, am getting.

Not a fan of the trance-y intro/first third of the song

But once that's done the remaining 2/3 of the song is great

Has anyone got the files downloaded? I've got 16 so far. I wonder what the tempo is? The site gave me a headache earlier, trying to get them all.

I wonder if they're going to do another remix competition since they're releasing stems again. Even if not, it's really nice to have these!

They did a lot of good creative stuff with Scintilli in terms of time signatures and melody/harmony. It's my favorite of theirs. Especially because of the compositional ear candy that Missing is.

I agree that clock is fairly standard in structure but sometimes that is all is needed. Plenty of other tracks have clever timings and poly ideas.

Wallet from their last is a good example of something that sounds pretty and normal until you really listen to the nuts and bolts of it.

The structures are familiar but the melodies / harmonics are never the same so I'm happy. It's hard to think of two songs of theirs that sound similar imo.

bloody hell the track gets lusher with every listen

You called it subtract
