anyone else gotten this? wasn't supposed to be out until tomorrow or
tuesday, but i bought mine yesterday from etherea records in NYC.
they rule.
i think it's great. i liked 'draft 7.0' but this is even better.
some of it makes better sense of the metallic tones i heard on the
self-titled (or "LP7"). towards the end it contains old-skool synths
and squelches and a couple of drum machine samples straight outta
1984, but in a way they *never* would have used them back then.
also pummeling deep kicks, crazy undanceable rhythms, high-end
bitcrunched scraping sounds, a stronger return to melody in spots
(think first album), and some repetitive drones that for some reason
remind me of neubauten circa 'halber mensch' if done on a laptop.
one track even has a repeating noise that sounds like a vocal
syllable!
if you thought the last one was just "ok" or you didn't "get"
confeld, buy this. it may renew your faith in them.
