no he's objectively right. 6000 years of music culminated to that point AC or otherwise and it's just gone downhill from there man. you should really be more cultured

abyss song is so so unsettling
i mean all of avey's songs on that split are but whatever he's doing with his voice is so bizarre and unnerving
david grubbs' tracks are really cool though

I love how it sounds like Avey could be laughing or crying but I can't really tell. also best use of off-key singing I've probably ever heard.

abyss song gets me every time and is easily one of my fav things done by avey. I never thought he was crying in those weird parts, def laughing but I could be wrong. Either way it always makes me laugh.

Yea and apparently Abyss Song was the soundtrack to a short film Danny Perez had made in college. What I wouldn't give to see that.

I thought that was for an art installation his sister Abby had done. Hmm, maybe it was for both, I dunno....

Gotham has been my favorite since I heard it in Petaluma.

Also deep memories listening to Gotham on headphones walking around in Siena / taking buses around Italy in 2012

for a second i was like '2012? that can't be right, CHz just came out last year!' but then i was all like 'oh wait no that was 2012, he's right.'

and they started playing these jams in early 2011.

like fuck how is it 2014 already???

that petaluma gig was nearly 3 years ago

It's not Akira though!

:40 here

I think the last 3 songs on Danse Manatee are a perfect stretch of songs to close that album.

Yeah, wow that sounds more like it. Either way, that opening sample with the tiger (lion?) in the background opens up the album on such a high note. Definitely one of the first anco related songs that swept me off my feet.

Native Belle/Peacebone

Alvin Row

I kinda fail to see anything beating Alvin Row as a closer.

Post **Posted:** Fri Feb 28, 2014 1:02 am

Mr. Fingers
Alvin Row

although i think every ac album has a pretty solid opener
and Amanita and I Think I Can are really great as well

Post **Posted:** Fri Feb 28, 2014 2:50 am

oh shit i forgot Mr. Fingers
also yeah Alvin Row is hard to deny. there might be a tie for me

I'm still dreaming of the day they start playing Mr. Fingers live

Post **Posted:** Fri Feb 28, 2014 4:37 am

Post **Posted:** Fri Feb 28, 2014 7:07 am

He's obviously concerned that there isn't any room for it.

does anyone else like the tomboy single mixes album better than the official one? like in terms of the mixes and also tracklisting and transitions

Smart move not posting this in the panda bear thread.

Oh, and It's half and half for me. Some of the tracks like Slow Motion, Surfer's Hymn, and Alastian Darn sounded way better in the single mixes to me, whilst others improved in the final version. Friendship Bracelet and Afterburner, specifically, sounded bare bones and unfinished in the single mixes, so the added production helped even them out quite a bit. Though, It's been such a long time since I've heard the singles mix version of Tomboy, I might have to give that a re-listen tomorrow.

Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper I assumed was the general panda bear thread, since people were bashing Sonic's production on Tomboy in there earlier. Anyways, ever since Sonic came back all the tomboy shittalkers stopped posting ahah. I thought that you posted this in here, so Sonic wouldn't read it and be distraught.
