TeenageRiot-
Do you think Trent Reznor will keep making NIN music until he is an old man? He’s getting on in years now but he could potentially still be composing angsty, teenage, “I’ve just read Nietzsche for the first time and I’m very depressed now” music until he’s in his 70s. Would be a treat to see in all honesty.

I genuinely hope he does. I mean, he can also do other non-angsty things but Geriatric Angsty Teenager Trent will be a true gift onto this world

Those two intensely tear-jerking scenes (won't spoil for fear of my friends having it ruined who haven't seen it), the bizzare and heart-poundingly intense electrocution sequence, Philip Jefferies returning as an otherworldly shadow puppet tea kettle and subsequent scene of Richard getting his ass kicked were almost too fucking great to handle. I am confident these final 3 episodes are going to stick with me for a very, very long time.

Hey! Indeed it has! Nice to hear from you :D I have nothing but positive things to say about Twin Peaks S3. It has honestly taken all my expectations and scoffed at them while delivering what is maybe the magnum opus of Lynch's career, solidifying Twin Peaks as well as the best television show ever made IMO. My best advice: Go into it expecting Lynch, not Twin Peaks. Also rewatch Fire Walk With Me first.

I seriously had a month where I had to listen to Steve McQueen 2-3 times a day. Hahaha. Got very into them recently. Scritti has always been a band I've liked but lately C&P and Provision have been rocking my world :)

yeah the early stuff is totally singular; I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a predilection for the later Fairlight CMI-driven synthpop sounds of Gartside. That said, their early band-setup/post-punk stuff is some of the most interesting, energetic, and soulful of its time. The leftist politics are just icing on the cake.

While I'm loving the record and it's exactly what I wanted from them, I can see why people are saying that this album is repetitive or something. The addition of that Twin Peaks-y string pad synth on the tracks were cool! If Twin Peaks Season 4 happens, they should play at the end of a episode on Roadhouse.

I agree it's a valid criticism of their sound and the LP specifically, but to me the homogenized style in their music is part of the aesthetic and appeal, not dissimilar to Mazzy Star.

Yo you've got great charts! Honestly, I see the new Slowdive as a brilliantly refined statement from a band whose scene is long and dead, they reintergrated their sound into the scope of modern shoegaze with finesse. I think the percussion is a little weak but that's really the only salt I can throw at it. Just saw them live a few days ago too. Absolutely incredible. They played Slomo and No Longer Making Time during the 3 song finale! I AM LOSING IT EACH DAY IT GETS CLOSER! I'm definitely planning some kind of simulwatch party even if it's just online. I've got a feeling it's gonna be the most batshit and unhinged thing Lynch has given us yet.

I was actually thinking a Discord channel, those who don't have a microphone or cell phone can just use the typed chat, since it's on mobile and also can be used in a browser on Mac/Linux/Windows iirc. But I'd also be willing to compromise with a Facebook/Telegram chat or something.

I love it. It's his most cohesive and accessible while still maintaining that weird, broken, queasy atmosphere from Ghettoville's experimental soundscapes. 'Faure in Chrome' is just a fucking massive piece of sound design. Some of his best tracks. Still not as good as RIP though.

I thought the album reminded me more of Splazsh than Ghettoville. Ghettoville was more dark, chopped and screwed sound, brooding techno. AZD grown more on me as I was listening daily last week and it might be his most cohesive work, indeed. It might be one of my favorites of this year already though, but my favorite from him will always be his first two albums! I'm not too fond of RIP tbh.

Hey, that's fair. A lot of my friends disliked the extreme reductionism of RIP (a lot of songs sound like they are missing key components but I love that aesthetic from him). I'm glad you dig on Hazyville! That one never gets mentioned :(

I'll definitely try again, but the production on it didn't really clicked on me. It just sounded like Souvlaki 2, but with a cheaper production. And, tbh, I'm not a big fan of that album. Pygmalion, on the other hand, is their masterpiece to me. Its minimalism, Talk Talk influences and the slowly-but-ever-growing sonic structures of the album was amazing to me. It was less wall of sound guitar melancholic noises and more headed to create an atmosphere, a image, a place on that record. Even the album cover, which people usually thinks it's ugly, I think it was an amazing idea. Its bleak white and its alien-looking notation of Ligeti's Artikulation piece... everything comes altogether.

I agree with everything you said about Pygmalion; emotionally it lies in a similar place for me to the last two Talk Talk records as well, with some other touchstones like Seefeel, Aphex's SAW, minimalism, and gothic folk. I love Souvlaki and Just for a Day too, though so what I am open to from Slowdive is a bit different I suppose. I definitely think the production's lo-fi fuzziness was a design choice and it's funny to me you say you hear Souvlaki in it because to me it sounds more to me that they've taken influence from newer bands like Pinkshinyultrablast who have a more hypnotic and destructured approach to shoegaze.

BUT I love Pinkshinyultrablast and a lot of nu-gaze so to me that is a positive move. YMMV :P

The self-titled is mostly a dud for me. There's two standouts - When I Was Broke and Mask Off. Those are actually as good as anything on Beast Mode or 56 Nights. HNDRXX, however, is probably his masterpiece. Not one single dud track, feels very cohesive as an album and it almost exclusively dwells on the side of Future I enjoy the most - the introspective, r&b leaning, sometimes very depressive Future. There are some new ideas and influences in the production and songs though, and it doesn't exactly sound like anything else he's done. It is currently tied for my AOTY along with Hecker's stunning A Script for Machine Synthesis.

Lopatin is also a genius. He's always pushing his own art further, since his lo-fi Juno days. Their geniuses, for me, are equal to what Aphex Twin did in the 90s. They'll be surely be remembered in the next years. Also, talking about Drake, any opinions on More Life already?

More Life is really good. Definitely a massive improvement from Views. There's some really bad features and it's like 8 tracks too long but there's 10-15 songs I fucking love, so it's like a 7/10 for me

I have to listen to it more. Since Views, Drake has been a letdown to me. Maybe, if I mixed tracks from Views and More Life, maybe I'll have another IYRTITL. Although, Get It Together is a early favorite of mine.

I believe a Showtime exec said something like "If the original Twin Peaks was Lynch diluted enough to be palpable for TV audiences of the time, Season 3 is pure heroin." I have a feeling this might be his magnum opus (though Inland Empire is awfully hard to top!)

"Inland Empire" is my favorite Lynch movie. I watched it years ago, because of a sample Burial used as a intro to his "Untrue" album. It was such a experience. I never felt it watching any other movies. I need to watch "Blue Velvet" and "Lost Highway" again, because those are my least favorite Lynch movies. Who knows this might change?!
Actions

quantumjess
It's my favorite too. One of my top 5 movies of the 2000s, no question. I forgot about the Burial connection entirely! Really tripped me out hearing it on the record after hearing it in the movie, as opposed to having the opposite experience. Lost Highway is my second favorite. Highly recommend you watch it again! It's a dense and detailed film that is revealing in multiple viewings, sort of a prototype for what was to come with Mulholland and Inland in many ways but also a great film on its own.

Yeah, definitely. Maybe it's exactly the J-horror elements that made me love "The Room", since I'm addicted on J-horror movies. You can definitely feel some inspirations from Kiyoshi Kurosawa ("Pulse", "Cure" and "Loft") and Hideo Nakata ("Ringu" and "Dark Water") movies over that game. I haven't played "Origins" too much yet, and for what I played from it, I wasn't "feeling it", but I might go back and play it again. The post-Team Silent titles I enjoy are "Downpour" and "Shattered Memories". "Shattered Memories" might be repetitive as fuck, but I loved the explore mode of it. "Downpour", in terms of story and soundtrack, is underwhelming, but as I'm a fucker for rainy atmospheres, I kind of enjoyed playing it.

I'd definitely recommend you to check the "SIREN" franchise, if you don't know it yet. It mixes survival horror with stealth elements. The first "Forbidden Siren" game was the first project that part of the Team Silent made when they gone to SONY. It's pretty atmospheric but, also, a very difficult game. The "Siren: Blood Curse" title for PS3 was cool too. Maybe, a little bit too "western horror" for my tastes, but still a good title to play on a dark rainy night.
