except the writing style is no style here cuz the writing isn’t wrote, its only cut so the question is are you happy to accept various styles of cutting? or do not like the cut..

It’s definately a whole heap better than all the Kanye West vocodered pap and fidget remixes of Radiohead that clutter up Hype machine by people that think they sound cool!

Aga Aga reminds me of the Braid videogame.

i was joking. and if you’d heard the kays you’d know i don’t know what a chorus is. i also love music that layers simple sounds together – like eluvium. i also have johann johannsson’s album that he created using the IBM 1401 computer so I am more than happy to accept various styles of writing. in fact it fascinates me. but it has to be good. and this is not.

‘Songwriting’ isn’t always the only way to make music. A lot of reels are just basic expression repeated over and over again with variations and a lot of experimental stuff is almost entirely textural. Just because it’s not verse-bridge-chorus doesn’t mean it is piss easy to do properly. I’ve heard loads of this sort of stuff that I don’t like at all.

i’m giving up song writing. i’m going to get my casio keyboard and press the demo button.

Yeah, Windowdipper is excellent. It took me five minutes to realise that my computer wasn’t actually playing up and that it was the song itself.

Totally agree about this Jib Kidder stuff. I have yet to pick up the album, but have “Windowdipper” constantly running on repeat on my ipod.

Bewildered fascination…yes, that sums it up perfectly. I first heard Jib Kidder when you included Flip Flap on the Fightcast. I could not believe my ears. But, amazingly, I really liked it for a reason still unbeknownst to me. I couldn’t open Great Thieves, but really enjoyed (well, was strangely captivated by) Aga Aga. Thanks for posting.
