loving this whole album, but faves are this one..great soul..and insomnia (yeah, yeah "in sarnia" my aunt fanny lol)...
i fucking LOVE great soul..but can't find it on youtube.
go listen to this album. now. repeatedly.

oh gods, yeah...MAN and MACHINE...fucking perfect open and close tracks. hayzeus kristo, i fucking love this damned album.

so @botley and any other hip fans: this album is creeping on my tied for first albums, "trouble at the henhouse" and "world container". and you? any hip fans care to weigh in on their fave album and tracks?
fwiw: new orleans is sinking (westwind AND killer whale tank), highway girl (with double suicide rant), world container and 700 ft ceiling are my all time fave hip tracks.

Huge soft spot for Phantom Power, the soundtrack to many cottage vacations. Yeah, the last two albums are great but there's something about the 90s stuff...

[Piko]

A lot of En Esch related stuff. Some older kmfdm.

Im listening to "Ultra" tomorrow, but today it is:

i am just getting into phantom power. i have yet to fully ingest 'day for night', 'phantom power' and 'in between evolution'.
isn't it funny, i love their 00's stuff far more (on balance)...world container/we are the same/now for plan a/man machine poem.
as mentioned 'trouble at the henhouse' is my fave 90's album of theirs, but i really love 'up to here' and 'road apples' as well.
i loved 'fully completely' but not as much as the rest of canada did...to me it is not their definitive album (though i guess sales records would disagree).
the hip, to me, are the embodiment of this dude who used to turn up at all the bluegrass festivals when i was a kid: captain canuck. whenever i have seen the hip live i always want to scream "captain canucks, mofo's".
anyway, thanks for engaging, mr. botley.

There was one. Bore witness to the rays of the sun. Synthesized in her own image. Photo negative. Shun. The development of Parliament. The phallic bop gun. Thus, the mother-ship connection spawned the birth of the drum. Ancient drum begat drum. Kingdom go, kingdom come. Ancient sector of the scepter risen up to the Sun. Hidden hand of man begat patented clone of the drum. Boom Bap strapped into a wire, tightly coiled, and re-spun. Trigger sound. Trigger gun. Drum machine. Machine gun. Bodies piled. Carefully filed under beats that were once reprogrammed to become: unplugged concert of Sun. Every ray with sample clearance. Every two begat one. Boom bop hard as a gun. White cross-trainers, unstrung. Let these suckas know the cost of making Harriet run. Let the North Star be your guiding post when turned from the sun until knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone

Just the best.

[scumflesh]

Metallica goes HARSH NOISE

I can finally listen to this album without fearing BOREDOM!

[GulDukat]

New Cult Hidden City isn't bad.

[henryeatscereal]

It's good. I like it better than everything but Act I. It does have a lot of the theatrical elements of IV though. (All of them are theatrical but IV was the largest offender.)

i mean, with a multi-album concept arc, it HAS to be theatrical (and i love that about it). not sure if you were positing that as a negative or just describing it haha. really looking forward to hearing it. my friend justin said that it "sounds like casey listened to a bunch of porcupine tree before he wrote this one" so that's extremely intriguing.

I felt IV was a little too heavy with that element. Never heard Porcupine Tree so I am unable to speak on that.

[thevoid99]

Fuckin' Westworld made me want to listen to some Roy.

[Space Suicide]

Surprised to find I dig this band...put a few of their songs on my phone for tomorrow.

[Lerxto]

Never heard Porcupine Tree

Fix that, like right now.

Listening to Warcraft: The Beginning OST by Ramin Djawadi. If you are not familiar with him, he currently composes music for Game of Thrones.

Can't get enough of these fuckers, lol...

Why do I love this song so much.

[telee.kom]

Skepta. Winner of this year's Mercury prize. It's kinda hard compare grime with music of Bowie or Radiohead, but it seems to me Bowie should have won this year. Especially when I really don't hear anything special in Skepta's new album

Same, unsure if you seen it in the thread of the band but I'll be buying a ticket to see them in November.

Love that video/song!

New EP rules, it came out today.
