This is probably better than I can appreciate.

Miles Whittaker is brilliant. Love Demdike Stare.

Around ten years ago or so I just got sick of these beats. Save the texture lose the beat

Prolly cause I’m old and right kranky.

Sorry to judge it from inside my box Frown

Voted liked it

1. What were your VERY FIRST impressions on listening to the album, say from the first five minutes in?

Hmm. This sounds like it could be ... interesting.

2. What did you think of the opening track?

Really loved it actually

3. What did you think of the next track?

Even better. I like the kind of “glitchy” electronic sound (how often do I say that?) and the fragmented synth samples, if that's what they are, really make the track.

4. Did you like the vocalist? Hate him/her? Any impressions? (see note 1)

n/a


5. Did the music (only) generally appeal to you, or not? (see note 2)

Very much so; love the kind of hypnotic drone on some tracks, almost techno on others

6. Did the album get better or worse as you listened to it (first time)?

Much better

7. What did you think of the lyrical content?

n/a

8. Did you like the instrumental parts? (see note 3)

Well, it's pretty much all instrumental, but yes

9. What did you think of the production?

n/a

10. Did you know of this artiste prior to listening to the album, and if so, did that foreknowledge colour your perception of this album?

No and no

11. Is this, generally, the kind of music you listen to or not?

Not really

12. Assuming you listened to the album more than once, on repeated listens, did you find you liked the album more, or less?

Loved it more every time I listened

13. What would you class as your favourite track(s), if you have any?

Pretty much everything really


14. And the one(s) you liked least?

Nada

15. If the album in question is a debut, did that fact allow it, in your mind, any leeway, and if so, was that decision justified or vindicated? (see note 4)

n/a

16. Are you now looking forward to hearing more from this artiste, if you have not heard any of their other material?

Yes I think so indeed

17. Were you surprised by your reaction - positive or negative - to the album?

Very much so. Not just because Frown picks and I generally don't mix, but the consensus seemed to be very negative towards the album, so I was kind of expecting to hate it.

18. Did the album end well?

Absolutely. It took a little while to get going, but a really nice ambient style closer.


19. Do you see any way the album could have been improved?


Not really. It's pretty damn perfect as it is.


20. Do you think the album hung together well, ie was a fully cohesive unit, or was it a bit hit-and-miss?

I honestly couldn't say. I've no experience with this genre really, so I'll just go ahead and give it 10/10. Nice pick, Frown! Now how often do you hear me say that?

Hot Dog. I think you got it. He has means and oppurtuniy cause he is a MB member, the only thing left was "motive." That's easy to guess, Chula done it out of revenge. I think right now Frownland feels a knife in his back, and is muttering "Et tu Chula!"

It could also have been Nick1976. This album isn't hair metal.
Or maybe Dude111 because he gets grumpy when the store is out of chocolate milk.

Or our new friend Nathan. He hasn't said whether he hates this band or not yet.
