No

His 909 is on every track on the record, except those without drums, but he still tried to squeeze out novel sounds: getting a liquid effect by using a midi process that sent dense streams of information to the instrument, closely packed triggers varying in velocity and frequency. “You get these big oceans of sound that pulsate. There are moments when the 909 becomes more like a synth.”

SNARELUSH

fucking hell I'm hyped to the max but I'll stay strong !

Didn't really feel like any of the tracks really went anywhere. I don't know how I'm ever going to remember them. It's mixed like the last few albums (harsh noisy upper end, compressed to fuck, massive ducking). I'm happy other peeps are enjoying it though. Maybe I wanted to like it too much.

nice to know he's fond of messiaen's organ works which i'm an absolute fan of. i don't get how such awesome music never had much hype

I think the mixing is much better than the last two albums but there were a few parts that even I found more than a bit noisy yeah.

also be up a hello sucks big time imo lol

such intrigue, I must persist in my abstinence to cheat the laws of release dates

Sucks it got leaked. Dick move unless it was Tom himself. I like it tho, will buy.

Can anyone identify what colour block jacket Tom is wearing in press shots? 

It just looks like a Harrington style jacket.  There are 100s of brands that do their own version, but the original was made by a uk company called Baracuta.  Still going.

+1 be bang up for a house double ep. I respect his need to always push forward but it's nice to hear your hero's experiments. Can be dead inspiring to hear what they do when they aren't pushing it for us less talented. Also there's always a bit of musical DNA passed through and it's great to hear how it works in a different format. 

Tom plz......plus it never hurt Richie J or the Chre  releasing unfinished stuff.

reminder lossy encodings do not equal the actual songs

I’ve written full, pre-release album reviews by listening to low bitrate mp3s through tin cans and string. Published by The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Fantano, and the Wall Street Journal. 

yeah, yowsas this is really good. . . somehow both old and new, both precise and organic. . . probably the most I've connected w/ [ ] < in a while, and it's only been a few listens in.  . . can't wait for the lossless files. . .

Nice

Have to say, this album is incredibly dense, not sure how else I would describe it. Fantastic example of maximalist electronic music. Like a zip file, something this dense I'll need some time to decompress lol.
