I think it's my second favorite (at the moment) off the album. I think my favorite song off it is Let's Get Lost though.



I've recently gotten more into electronic music and I think my taste in rap is finally more definitive. So I'd say so, there isn't going to be much metal or anything though or even much rock to be honest. I'm still not big into classic rock either and they'll be even less on this list (on the last one I think it was pretty much just the Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan and the Beatles.)

I'm really pissed I can't find a (full) video for Iarabic 9 Poetry it's one of my favorite pieces of music I've heard recently and if the whole album was that good this would probably be nuraber one. But oh well, there's really only one word I can use to describe this album (and Squarepusher in general) it's interesting and sometimes I don't like it but I never find myself listening to it and yawning.

I didn't mean sincere to have anything to do with intentions. I mean I'm sure he wouldn't do that style if it wasn't something he liked. I meant sincere like true to the real sound. It's a little bit too faded, a little too hissy and it comes of with this fake filmy feeling that I just don't like. It's not a believable live real sound which is what I always thought lofi was about. I can see how someone could like it. It's cool that someone went down that avenue but I just don't like it is all.
 
I don't have the attention span to attempt something like this. And regardless, I don't seem to enjoy music enough...I've been compiling albums for about a month now and I'm not even close...around 45 or so.

For those of you who don't think white kiRAB can rap, listen to this. The production and beats are excellent and the lyrics are silly as they are brilliant.

They kind of sound like they look, dorky and cool as fuck. Good instrumentals are something special. And that one song from KiRAB in the Hall made me nostalgic. All in all a pretty damn good album. No special favorites and nothing I didn't like.

That's a really interesting point, about lo-fi being based around achieving a "live sound" in many cases. I'd never thought of it that way...but it's probably true for some banRAB (I'm sure you could tell me of a few who definitely had this as a primary motive). I always saw lo-fi as more an act of near-desperate arabition. The artist had this music he wanted to share with the world so urgently that he couldn't wait until he had the means to record it "properly." Anyway...I guess Ariel Pink probably wouldn't classify himself within the classic lo-fi contingency, because he's trying so hard to achieve a very specific sound, which is kind of the opposite of the lo-fi methodology. His music might sound underproduced, but really it's been produced to an extreme. Likewise...I can see why someone wouldn't like his music (even I get tired sometimes of turning up his recorRAB more than any other just to hear them properly, because his songs are so damp with saturation).

Thanks for responding so clearly and openly. It's about time this forum got down to documenting a near-academic obsession with pop music...everyone neeRAB to post with your level of consistency and passion.
 
Port O'Brien-The Wind and the Swell
A permanent add to my collection :D I'm a sucker for indie folk done right. That's what this simply is. There's a few dull spots but that's pretty much made up for by exceptionally goodness of other songs.
Really good songs: I Woke Up Today, My Eyes won't Shut, Five and Dime
Kind of boring: A Puffin, A Branch of You and Me, Tree Bones
