Re: Terence Dixon

yep, great one

Re: Terence Dixon

not impressed

Re: Terence Dixon

imo one of the best things to come out this years, a shining light in piles of crap

Re: Terence Dixon

Don't get it.

Re: Terence Dixon

then it is a sad day for music

Re: Terence Dixon

View from Above is what I am rambling about, its fucking deep, how those strings go, that weird clock sound on the background and those vocals, its like exciting times of the detroit 90s again

Re: Terence Dixon

Yeah I'm totally digging the new one from him. As if he's totally stuck out in the middle of nowhere doing his own thing.

Re: Terence Dixon

I enjoyed track 3, it was crippled enuff for my taste. Never totally understood stringpads in music.

Re: Terence Dixon

view from above is pretty atemporal...like it...

Re: Terence Dixon

i like it too, this http://www.discogs.com/release/1338036 was also nice. i picked up dirt cheap in phonica sale so maybe its not so popular.

Re: Terence Dixon

I like tracks 1 and 3. Different shenanigans going on (which is good). I would play them.

Do it your way, because everyone else is just weird.

Re: Terence Dixon

Track 1 reminds me of Deepart, or actually even more so, Terry Brookes. It's OK. The strings aren't totally satisfying.

Track 3 is dope.

Re: Terence Dixon

Track 1, 2 & 3 sound great!

You should also check his last album on Yore... i love that one: http://www.discogs.com/release/1035298

Re: Terence Dixon

Track 3 sounds deep as hell.

I just really like track 1, I don't think its that deepart-ish, the EQ is different, more evaporating or ethereal or something...he has always good EQ/mastering of the tracks or something.

If you like track 3 check out this release from earlier this year, especially pilot error (that chord line that comes in is so happy) and 3 units...like a futuristic Reese & Santonio - The Sound http://www.clone.nl/item11739.html

And maybe you guys know this the track Detroit City Lights
(track 8 here http://www.clone.nl/item7250.html)...that synth is so familiar, is it a sample from some old record or a Roland JV preset or something

Re: Terence Dixon

Yeah, he brings the weird shit and snaps the claps consistently, for weird but bangin' tracks. Also like that much of the arrangements have jazz-like, improv feel to them. Interesting stuff.

that sounds cool, i probably couldn't hear that on my laptop speakers. yeah his production has a lushness to it...

that's a really nice track and a really nice record...i'll look out for it...

i haven't heard a lot of his stuff since the metroplex days, just that rush hour re-release and a few tracks on background comps..maybe i heard that one you're talking about...i talked to him some on myspace, he's a super nice guy...

Re: Terence Dixon

Also check that lost track on this one http://www.clone.nl/item6236.html its got this old first Terrace atmosphere (by use of only that one string line its so genius) but then with all those crazy weird things in the beat, how the fuck does he make that stuff

edit: I think I know the shimmering synths from Detroit City Lights is the Dexter Wansel's Life on Mars intro sound???

edit 2: Yes it is!!! awesome. This was bugging me for weeks

Re: Terence Dixon

layering and or chopping stuff at different time signatures/tempos?...i like that Lost track too.

Re: Terence Dixon

weirdos its just samples

yeah thats the whole cool thing about it...that strange groove...like a soup that is being stirred...but then all the sounds float around instead of the chicken pieces or balls or croutons.
