Big dick energy is right!
(Fashionably?) late to the party having only listened to it this week but this is as good as anything heās done before, if not better.
However hard I try I cannot stop listening to it!
It is exceptional, isnāt it? So relieved after the last album - it didnāt click for me at all.
Apparently thereās an album coming soonā¦
New Album Incoming!
āSoonā turned out to be a bit longer than anticipated didnāt it? On the way to bed but look forward to rinsing this tomorrow.
Great news. Love the album art.
This is now the rolling Andy Stott thread, AND the rolling Big Dick Energy thread
I havenāt listened to anything past Faith In Strangers (which I really didnāt like) but will get caught up today.
I was listening to Passed Me By this week.
Any chance we could edit the title to make it a bit less Big Dick Energy?
Woah holā the fuck up
āāIt Should Be Usā is a double EPā my arse. 9 tracks at 46 minutes. Totes an album, Andy.
I loved half of Faith in Strangers, none of the next one And most of It Should Be Us. Still.dont think heās topped Luxury Problems though.
I havenāt had the āwow this is magicā feeling since Faith in Strangers. Too Many Voices, apart from New Romantic, was a real let down for me.
You should see how long some Autechre āEPsā are
The double of Passed Me By / We Stay Together is peak Stott. Awesome. The percussive collapse into the bassline at 0:52 on (the track) We Stay Together (Part One) is just sublime:
And Sleepless. Banginā:
Oh yes.
Faith in Strangers was a huge grower for me
also like the Millie & Andrea album
So much this^
Starting to feel I might have given up on FIS a bit too earlyā¦
I think itās one where you have to properly take it on its own terms. tough and ugly at points, but in a way thatās compelling.
severe but lived-in. something something Brutalist architecture.
I donāt remember anything about it other than it boring me a bit.
Iāll go back.
Exactly!
