Wow the album sold the hell out quickly. Glad I copped it.
Gonna try to listen to as little of whatever tracks are out there as possible before the release date so I can cherish the tracks more. Did that with the Inbox Island EP from Sharp Veins and it felt like such a better experience.
Only listened to the downloads so far on my phone with earphones, still gotta wait on the vinyl. But ffs, such a good release, this isnāt actually fair. How are shitty producers like me gonna get signed to medi when Commodo, Kahn and Gantz are doing shit like this
Not listened to it all yet but from the clips and stuff Iāve heard it seems this release is less dancefloor orientated whereas their solo stuff is quite heavily dancefloor orientated. Even if they would destroy it and get wheel ups (like AMK) they just seem less focused on that aspect of it⦠the long intro on AMK for example isnāt exactly DJ friendly.
Feels like this, more so than their solo stuff, is more focused on music you can listen to at home.
So far amk, crystal collect and bitchcraft are that stand outs. So familia grew on me since the video first dropped. Kibosh is like 95% gas and unmistakable is quite nice. Still waiting for the vinyl/listen on the home system though
i agree to a certain extent and definitely see where youāre coming from. tbh though, this exceeded my expectations. we often think that if you just throw 2+ talented producers in a room together, theyāll come up with something better than the sum of their parts, but look at most collabs (in dubstep)⦠thatās not usually the case imo.
imo, AMK, Bitchcraft, Crystal Collect are highest tier tunes. So Familia would be up there too had they not dropped the bpm down so low. Unmistakable is a tier below them. Kibosh⦠not too gassed on that one but itās their album not mine.
The biggest thing I wish they did differently though was with Crystal Collect. It kinda sounds like two tunes forced into one track tbh. I would much rather have seen them take the first drop and develop a full tune out of it, and do the same with the second drop. That would have turned one complete banger into two complete bangers. And of course, they have the space on the LP to add another track, so thereās no reason not to imo.
Nah the second drop on crystal collect is sick. Tbf I love second drops, kinda gives tunes a bit to look forward to if that makes sense. Also bitchcraft is fast becoming my favourite track
yeah, i like the second drop more than the first drop on Crystal Collect. I guess this is just me being selfish to a certain extent, but Iād rather be able to just play that part (Space Cash v3) in a set without having to find a cue point in the middle of the song.
in other words, i wish they took the part that sounds more like Hyperreal, made that into a full song, and took the part that sounds more like Space Cash and made that a full song, and put both on the album as complete tracks.
