This observation from the "Controversial Opinions" thread has helped me understand what has been bothering me about YRITAS.

We're in a totally different time now from when their earlier albums were made and it's hard to see any significant return to their 'lighter'/less heavy side any time soon ...

I can vouch for this, as a grown man in public no less, first listening with a bunch of strangers haha

S'good!

Thank you, and I can’t wait to read your piece, can’t understand how I missed it!

Perhaps more mathematically obsessed than any other musicians I can think of (save for Bach, Reich, Glass, Coltrane, and perhaps “math rock” incendiaries such as Animals As Leaders or Don Caballero), Board of Canada are intrinsically drawn to the timeless relationship between numbers and sound ...

I thought it might be useful to have an allocated space for any Twoismers who enjoy writing / music criticism to post their “official” reviews, and of course for discussion of these analyses. This forum has always struck me as a pretty sharp crowd. I know there have been some posts on other topics ...

I assure you I do, and am doing so at this exact moment. The track just shreds. That slap bass!!!

I know it’s controversial but these vocals are just perfect. We saw the new seeds on the last LP.

The world becomes flesh rips dimensions

Good god headphones unleash absolutely wonderful madness

Full capacity in Chattanooga as well, exact amount of chairs (sixtyten I estimate), they had a custom soundsystem brought in. I listened front and center but the balance was perfect. Headphones will help me get deeper into the infinite samples…

I do know for a fact, right off the rip, that it ranks amongst their finest work. Wildly different, still unmistakably BoC, and deeply powerful. Holy Hell, I’m gathering my own mind from the floor of the listening room. Will report back!

It fucking rips. Fun, unpredictable, deep, digital?, beautiful. Prophecy serves as a prologue—a statement of purpose. Father and Son provides some playfulness while Naraka draws you into a warm cacoon. Then, the insane asylum is emptied…
Gotta listen in headphones before I attempt a cogent analysis…

I’m going to cry like a little kid, I’ll probably need to be escorted away from the premises

Never ever been so tempted to re-download soulseek after 20 years… I refuse don’t worry

Just gotta stay upright for less than 48 hours, so many things I can’t wait to hear based on your discussions

LA was a fantastic experience, attended the 7:30 listening. The mix on this record really blew me away. Inferno sounds more 'mature' in a sense... Like, the more overtly IDM elements are absolutely there as with past work, but they are more subtle and nuanced. The atmosphere of it is so dense and ...

It really does seem that the various environments allocated at the listening parties had unique audio challenges, oversights really, probably due to no testing whatsoever, and I wonder about how this impacted first impressions. I am hoping that the smaller spaces next week at the record stores will ...

I am literally salivating and trying not to get hit by a meteor or space junk…
