I think Four Tet is one of those bods that's too hard to criticise. He makes so much music, and in so many styles, that often he's gonna fuck up and make something you think is awful. On the flip though, he's gonna make something you like eventually, so you just wait it out.

His record store day set on Saturday was amazing.

Really? Oh bollocks. I was actually interested to see what it was like given the day and location. Ended up with Ryan and a few others drunk away from there until it was too late.

He just had a stack of 7s on the mixer and was pulling tunes out. Some reggae, some old ska, disco, weird world music tracks. Was fucking awesome, the sun had come out, everyone in the crowd was on a good vibe despite it being pack up.

I'd agree with that, I like a lot of his music but I'd also say I've ever heard a tune from him that stands out as anything better than decent

Goes for his sets as well I reckon. Sometimes its just any old set, like Wolf said dropping Skeng ect, but sometimes its mindblowing. Such an eclectic music taste, if he draws for a bit of everything and it works.. it really works. I have seen him when I've been less impressed though. I guess it depends on where hes playing, the type of crowd hes playing to and how long hes got... I bet his 6/9/12 hour sets are great.

I've only heard There Is Love In You, Rounds and the Burial collabs but I sort of see what wolf wolfhates about it. There are moments in both of those albums where it's just bland hip hop drum beat and nice, inane melodies. He leans towards being too safe a bit too often. But I do rate some tunes of his quite a bit, and the Burial collabs are gorgeous of course.

This "safe" chat is utter wet in my opinion.

You hear 10 seconds of moth and you've heard the whole tune. I never even listen to the other tune from that release

Novas amazing though.

only four tet i've really listened to was that madvillainy remixes ep and that was sick

[hubb]

Gareth, see safe as a substitute for something more complex. I mean older people would never admit to being actually afraid of black metal, they would say it's too loud or something. Same goes for safe, where I think it suggests something being un- imaginative, not creatively surprising or something similar that would be a more fair form of critique.

im genuinely reaterded

this is the unpopular opinions thread man

[ultraspatial]

four tit is alright, at least from like 2011/12 onwards. nothing mindblowing tho. and wolf's right, his music is a bit safe and coffee table-leaning

[Genevieve]

I find anything recent he's done super boring myself, thought 'There Is Love In You' was the last decent thing he's done (bar the Burial collabs) but even that isn't mindblowing. I just really don't care about what anyone thinks of musicians since it's all so subjective, but when people treat their own subjective value judgements as inheretly important peer reviewed research papers that are changing the course of music for years to come, I can't help but roll my eyes.

[ezza]

oh yeah and jopker is brostep

used to be ok in 2008

now its brostep

lol niknak why r u talking nonsense

joker ffs

I genuinely think Four Tet is making tame safe bland music and it just happens to be that the only way for him to seem at all exciting any more is for you to be someone living a boring life where you don't hear much new music apart from checking out what the guardian said was good while having breakfast. Everything is bland samples or sonically plain synth parts.

lol

ill informed and a nonsensical judgement.

imo

It's not like when you guys are fucking lame and just write "five panel", "bro" "tumblr" and leave your arguments at that.

it's a joke it's a music forum but no need to get upset if ppl dont structure proper arguments against every bit of music they dont like. but tbf five panels are sick so ppl need to fall back with that one

kool fm is gash tho
don't even know how champion salvaged it

[Sexual_Chocolate]

lol that doesnt change the fact you numpty

[syrup]

So did Joker.

joker sux even harder than four tet tho

nah it's good.

the lights remix was pretty meh tho
