Talk of The Slip on here reminded me how much I love Echoplex. I was listening to it today while ironing and some of the lyrics like. ‘You will never ever ever get to me in here’ and my voice just echoes off these walls seem similar to the themes of the EPs

Also Head Down "And this is not my face and this is not my life, and there is not a single thing here I can recognize, this is all a dream and none of you are real".

But... you aren't meant to be doing the ironing while listening to it, you are meant to be staring at the fucking wall, distracted by exactly nothing in a soundproof room.
Otherwise you aren't enough of a superfan to truly appreciate it.

Btw, I am not sure if this goes for everyone, but listening to NIN on a phone takes nothing out of the experience, for me personally at least. Intended/unintended or not, doesn't mean you can't have great results even with the means the artist may not have suspected, I assume results vary from person to person. But I find myself enjoying NIN entire albums even in the most crowded of places.
If song or its section is too quiet, i just bring up the volume.
I just hope I didn't come off as someone who'd be lecturing people how to listen to music or something.
Down, but not out.
I can definitely relate to this as it's also affected me on a subconscious and unintentional level when it came to entertainment in general as well. In hindsight, in spite of how important it is to be open-minded to differing opinions, sometimes you just got to see what works or doesn't work for you and you alone.
It really was no wonder why it lead me to ask questions as to whether or not I liked or followed something just because of the approval and admiration of others, or if I avoided or even just gave up on something just because of the overall rejection and disappointment of others. (It could be a bit of an ego thing for all I know too. I don't mean to speak for others, but that's what I've always felt and thought about it too.)
Granted, I could see why there would be tons of factors to ruin it too, for whatever reason.
In hindsight though, it certainly helped me realize that I end up surprising myself in enjoying things I probably would've enjoyed a long time ago, should I had not have been steered by the opinions of others in any way, shape or form, negative or positive. I figured it would also be a very good thing to be mindful of, even beyond the realm of entertainment.
As for The Hand That Feeds, I still like for what it is as well. Much to my surprise, I have also re-watched the actual music video a lot more than I thought I would.
@elevenism @Prettybrokenspiral - I just thought of mentioning the both of you, since we were just talking about this.
Echoplex is still my most favorite song from The Slip, as it's often, if not always my go-to song on The Slip. Demon Seed has also been getting a lot more plays as of late too.
Thank you for reminding me about this as well. That's what also came to mind when I first listened to Not The Actual Events.

How does a Yankee stream something like this in real time?

The TuneIn Radio app streams BBC Radio 6 Music pretty well.

Has the interview happened already?

Man, the comments on that AV Club post are hilarious. A bunch of people complaining about the NTAE PC, several thinking it was a CD package, and all complaining about the black powder.

Even Trent is admitting that he was forcing things on Add Violence. That EP is fine, but the only song on it that struck me as having any substantial thought put into it was Less Than. The Lovers, TINTP and Not Anymore all sound like they were banged out over a lunch break.
I definitely want to hear the 3rd EP, but at this point I’m way more interested in the new film scores they’re working on..
Hairy Member
I'm not a native speaker, but that's not how I interpret what he said at all. If I heard it right, he described the situation they found themselves in AFTER they began the production of the third ep.
Active Member
That's not what he said at all.
Throbbing Member
Is it just me or does it sound like a younger Trent in the pre-chorus of My Violent Heart? It's always been strange to me. He sounds like his current self in that song and through the album but at that exact moment it's like TDS/Fragile Era Trent shows up.

Made this playlist on my phone with some of the new songs and some old ones with the Year Zero and life-inside-a-dream- theme and it works great for me. All the tracks even segue each other great without the need of crossfades. Hope you like it.
1- Burning Bright (Field on Fire)
2- The Lovers
3- Less Than
4- Not Anymore
5- Me I'm Not
6- Dear World,
7- The Warning
8- Head Down
9- The Idea of You
10- Another Version of the Truth
11- This Isn't The Place
12- The Line Begins To Blur
13- Beside You In Time
14- Right Where It Belongs

Definitely going to assemble this playlist myself and give it a listen. I'm constantly amused or intrigued by the way different songs segue when I have my library playing on shuffle.

Just curious, but what is everyone's favorite use of the "swarm guitar" effect that has been used in various tracks in recent years?
For those unfamiliar, it's this sound:
Active Member
I definitely know the sound, but what album tracks use it? I know it appears a lot on the scores.
I was nobody. Nothing.
I've revisited NTAE and AV, and I like them both a whole hell of a lot more now.

So THAT'S what that term refers to. I like the ambient feel it gives off, and I love it's use on Disappointed.
Active Member
It's on a lot of songs on TSN, too. I guess, it must have been around 2009/10, when they aquired the Swarmatron. It's been prominently shown in the teaser video for BBB from HTDA's first ep.
Active Member
To be clear, I'm talking about the "swarm guitar" effect, not the Swarmatron. It's that whooshing, shrieking, swarm of bees guitar sound. A more recent example can be heard in the second half of "Less Than".
Throbbing Member
I love it in Almost Home on TSN score.
