To be honest, the record in all its awkwardness has grown on me a little since I first played (and completely "meh'd" at) it. But even despite that, after more and more listens, I think you're right Jonny.
"This is not your retirement record Jim"
I agree. I kind of wished he'd left on Sound of Silver and left us all agape and wondering what might have been if he'd continued.
whhhaaaaaattttt. dude, how on earth did you come up with the besnard lakes as your comparison reference? given spod and besnard lakes are *nothing* alike, I'm going to go out there and posit that your issue lies more with the genre of spod's music than spod's music specifically.
it's like all the times where I used to get someone telling me that {insert band/artist name here} sucks because they like metal. what?
sure, I have no problem with you hating spod's music, but telling everyone it "sucks" because you're not into the genre is... well, dumb.
unless I am missing some completely obvious and sensible link between spod and the besnard lakes, the two couldn't be more of a case of apples and oranges.
once again you've largely "Nail-ed" it (badoom tish) with your observations Jonny but my main conundrum is that despite acknowledging basically all of this, I still really enjoy listening to it.

LucyFx you are a BOT and a reprehensible one at that BUT I was very happy for this story to be bumped and make me smile all over again. It was was an awesome piece Bella.

And all were destroyed in its wake.
So start one that doesn't.

Major shame. Crazy good live band.
You should all be listening to The Besnard Lakes guys. they're the gold standard for good music now. didn't you know?

Go figure?
spod dude you are THE man. sparkly vomit!!
man I hate things that snippet albums though. hearing the five tunes as excerpts totally undersells the disc IMHO.
But how is it getting past the captcha?
Howwwwwwwwwwwwww????
oh japan
(reading that back, that was a little harsh. Sorry dude, bad day at work)

aw I dunno, his early tracks were sweet. it's just the album that comes across as pretty half-baked.

Yeah, I'm hearing good things about the Autechre album too... looking forward to hearing it
