Was good but a 45 minute set for £20? Sort it out Hecker.

A lazy comparison to make but it sounds like Virgins (slowed down a little) with Love Streams. I love it.

The past 3 albums + Harmony in Ultraviolet have been on-another-level fantastic, so I’ve got high hopes for this. Glad there isn’t a long wait before release either!

Ooh he played this when I saw him last year. Great track

I’ve listened to this today.

Found it totally disorientating, in a way that Love Streams and even Virgins wasn’t. My early hunch is that this is a very good thing…there are some truly hairs-on-the-back-of-your-neck moments

The whole album?

Yes.

It has leaked…and there are handful or artists (him being one) I can’t resist the urge for.

Awesome. I’m struggling with Keyed Out because it’s just so piercing. Once it breaks down though it’s lush

#35

The whole album is a balance of piercing/lush sounds…which I was really into

Classic Tim Hecker record. Really really satisfying.

yeah this is great, seriously good

20 minutes in - really great.

Maybe i should really go back and listen again to Virgins/Ravedeath/Lovestream? They never really stuck with me.

I was a bit underwhelmed with Virgins but after Love Streams I went back to it and now it’s maybe one of my favourites of his. Granted there’s 2/3 contenders where that changes every few months.

I feel like I’m talking bollocks here but there’s a structure to the tracks and a preciseness that I think makes it feel quite different to the surrounding albums. It’s also colder/darker. I like it a whole hell of a lot.

First few listens to the new one and at the moment I’m just enjoying listening to it rather than thinking about it, if that makes sense.
