brothomstates is incredibly great stuff, and i'm kind of
surprised to hear people talking about him as if he should be dropped from
the label. claro, i'll agree, wasn't very strong at all, but i
enjoyed qtio immensely.. there's also a wealth of material floating about
the internet that he released before he was signed anywhere (he
used to be fairly well involved in the pc demo scene as dune of orange) that
i think is quite great and shows a good bit of talent. claro is a hard
listen, but it's there if you give it time (i was never into it at all until
i saw him play live, which sort of gave me reason to listen to it further).
before you say he sucks, listen to his track on machine drum's remix album
and the middle part of the live set on
www.defaultresponse.com (the url for the set is
http://www.enoughrecords.com/default/default_-_brothomstates.mp3).

the most part, that brothomstates is overall not that great, or is this just
the opinion of one man? i think he's one of the more exciting things i've
heard in the field of electronic music in a long time, and i'm shocked to
find people not agreeing.
I think my original post about this got lost somewhere.
I agree with you. As I said before, I think Brothomstates is one of the
finest signings Warp have made for years, and 'Qtio' one of the best EPs
they have ever released, period.
I love the 'Claro' album, but not as much as 'Qtio'. I agree that, for some
reason, it doesn't have quite the same impact. I was disappointed when I
first heard it, but it really does get better with each successive listen.
It's worth bearing in mind that Lassi did submit a wealth of material to
Warp, who I believe selected the tracks themselves and compiled them into
the album that is 'Claro'. I would guess that we can expect great things
from any follow up from Brothomstates. Has anyone heard the new track
'Naksuttelu' on Warp's exclusive "Advanced Listening Opportunity" CD?
I was going to go to the Default Response live set but I missed it - which
is a shame because having listened to the mp3 on the Default site, it
sounded like it was an excellent set.
I don't think it's fair to dismiss an artist after one album. I wonder how
successful Autechre would have been if they'd only produced further albums
that sounded like 'Incunabula', for example.
