i can't bring myself to listen to this after the awful gummy skull songs and horseshit lightning bolt collab

ugh

I listened to that blobs fucking song but I really hate weird release formats, haven't heard the other stuff they've been doing. I need to try listening to this, but damn that sounds like a time investment :0

I will admit, of all the songs they've put out this year, I only thought 7 of them were of quality. Free form jamming and experimental things are nice, but I didn't think it was very interesting. Embryonic was interesting; these songs were not.

But in contrast, this is the most interesting of them so far. Yeah, it's mostly a jam, but it's at least interesting. Lots of weird guitar effects... Apparently, the song completely changes too, but I'm only at 1:31:30 so far.

The oddball releases are pretty cool in my opinion. Music released on a USB drive, encased in a life-size gummy-skull? You have to eat it to get to the music? That's fucking cool.

They better have a sugar free kind. I have the diabeetus.

soniclovenoize · 09-22-2011, 08:16 PM

Wow, made it through all 6 hours!

I don't think I'm ever going to do that again.

Do it on a day where you know you're going to be staying home, lazing around not doing anything all day. I do it quite often.

soniclovenoize · 09-22-2011, 08:22 PM

Wayne was right, it's good background music. If you try to "listen intently" to it, you'd probably go mad. But there's interesting dynamic shifts, although it's over long periods of time. :/

will download tonight and listen to tomorrow

Banana · 09-23-2011, 04:01 PM

1 hour and 48 minutes in so far.

god damn this thing is long

soniclovenoize · 09-23-2011, 05:15 PM

Yeah, I was listening to it as background music today while tracking down copyright licensing contacts. Now I'm really sick of it, and I think maybe it's Trout Mask Replica time.

I love these guys, but not enough to listen to that song.

soniclovenoize · 09-30-2011, 08:43 AM

Holy shit. I give them credit for coming up with these crazy ideas and actually DOING them, but I could barely make it through the last 6 hours. I can't imagine doing that 4 times.
