I've sorted out the tickets for his live show, the missus agreed to come with me :). Can't wait :corndance: :corndance:
*high five* looking forward to the show so much. I have been intentionally not listening to the album so that I can experience it properly live.
It's gonna be sweeeeeeet!

What I got from the album so far is that it's good when I'm listening to it, but not very memorable. But I can see it working amazingly well live with the stage setup.

I think the albumn is meant to have visuals.
It hasn`t made an impact on me like the past albumns.
But in the context of an awesome 3d visual experience, his current design work will fit incredibly well.

Just saw this. Was fucking crazy. He's making better heavy dubstep tunes than anyone else right now.

Grabbed the LP at the record store today and finally listened to it. I think it's fuckin incredible-- sound design is next level! Love the artwork too. Can't wait to see him live in October.

Definitely looooving this album.

I think without question that his sound design is mind blowing.

Something a little harder for me to grasp is how he manages to create insanely huge atmospheres that seem like a gigantic mess, but still remind us that it is music somehow. I keep getting lost in little parts of his music and then I hear little awkward melodies and rhythms, I don't know how to explain it but it's incredible. His sound feels so electronic because of the sound design, but so natural and human because of how he manipulates different subtle aspects of music. I also think I read somewhere that he only used synthesis for this album? Or maybe it was only samples? Can anyone confirm one or the other?

Also, his live show is incredible.
EDIT: Video already posted on here :dunce:

Seeing the live show next week, pretty excited for that. Although Ame plays at the
same time.
