The only Dalek album I've listened to was Absence and while it's cool for a while eventually you notice that it goes noise, then the noise quiets down for the verses, rinse repeat. Like the album admits that noise and hip hop in the way it is presented are at odds and the only way to merge them is to switch from one to the other in a way that shows that Dalek is simply being trendy cause he doesn't know how to organically blend them.

But he raps over psychocandy style noisescapes and mixes it into the beats to good effect...

I think you’re unfairly jumping to that conclusion based on the opening track

Except he doesn't really. The Psychocandy style noisescapes ****ING STOP when he raps. Then he quiets down and they start again. There's no congruity, simply the implication that there is because the two things just so happen to be on the same track.

I think that sense of incongruity is on you my friend.

Man I’m ****ing satisfied with this

**** works yo

2016 still, right?

Giovanni Lami - Bias

Reel to reel tapes (and possibly other media), buried in 3 places across Austria, Greece, and Italy. The result is a heavily textured, captivating dark ambient record. I believe that the tapes are manipulated, cut up, layered, etc. This album explores the finite details of tape degradation and takes the listener into some haunting and beautiful places. Understated, lonely, and sparse, but also rich and textured.

Giovanni says that "The magnetic tape is a substrate for rough, dirty and indefinite sound surfaces that evolve while time is passing, I just need to create the conditions to let it happen and to accelerate this process. It’s like a garden, where everything grows by itself and you need to make just a few things, to see what is going to happen most of the time."

What will our recordings sound like when they're heard centuries from now, if at all? Bandcamp link in photo.

P.S. This album came out on 4/20.

Talk about hearing about it here first. Thanks Frown.

Oh hey, I don't remember the entire album perfectly. Notice how the noise is cool, then the hip hop beat starts up which has absolutely nothing to do with it, and then the dude starts rapping and it's just a gimmick. A ****ing gimmick.

Get the **** over hip hop that tries to be experimental simply because you want there to be more experimental hip hop than actually exists.

OccultHawk · 10-13-2018, 05:43 PM

Hip hop has been experimental in nature since its conception. You’re not dealing with a gimmick here at all. In fact, it’s more like the roots of hip hop further reinforcing the foundation.

I think you’re saying it doesn’t fit together musically. I strongly disagree. And I might very well still like it if it didn’t. Music isn’t a functional art. I don’t have drink out of it, or use it to carry water, or live in it when it rains. It doesn’t have to work. However, Dälek makes music that is structurally sound. Sound that is well structured. It really does work. It’s not forced or gimmicky. It’s intentionally murky and therefore constructed with intent. The coherence with different members is evidence of that.
