02.23.12 | Shit, gotta go listen to this. |
BLUEOmni
02.23.12 | It's amazing so far. Can definitely tell these are low audio quality, though. Makes the wait for release date (which is tomorrow) that much more exciting (to get the 320 rips). |

02.23.12 | oshit gotta hear this |
BLUEOmni
02.23.12 | Dude, Riff, you're missing out. This is unbelievably good. |
BLUEOmni
02.23.12 | His music isn't difficult, or complex, but it's beautiful. Take it from someone who's played piano all their life; Olafur is a genius. A beautiful genius. |
BLUEOmni
02.23.12 | If there are other artists who sound like this guy, please do recommend. I love this guy's music, so if there's more like him, I'd like to hear, and potentially become a fan :) |
BLUEOmni
02.23.12 | So give me some examples of neo-classical/minimalist artists who came before him and sound much like he does now. |
BLUEOmni
02.23.12 | Everything must change is one of the most epic songs Olafur's made.
Also, part of what makes this album so remarkable is that IT WAS WRITTEN IN 14 DAYS! God, I can't even imagine the scale at which his new album's going to be at, considering he's spent a good amount of time on it compared to his other albums. |
BLUEOmni
02.23.12 | Well, I agreed to it not being difficult or complex music. A lot of the notes used have a generic taste, if you want to call it that. It's the finished product that makes him stand out, though. He may use a simple foundation, but after everything's been wrapped up, his songs becomes unique and fascinating. |

02.23.12 | "I like that he used to be the drummer for a hardcore band"
really? awesome. I've had a hard time tracking his stuff down but I'd love to give it a listen. one day. (cbf streaming right now) |

02.23.12 | Yeh, I like it. It's good. |
TheSpirit
02.23.12 | didn't this guy JUST come out with something a few months ago |
BLUEOmni
02.23.12 | Yeah, and he's coming out with something later this year. |
StrangerofSorts
02.23.12 | Everything Must Change is gurd. |
Hopeland
02.24.12 | I've loved anything I've ever heard by Olafur, I'm assuming this won't let me down. |
Hopeland
02.24.12 | hmmm some of the songs sound like ones he's already released. Lynn's theme is a shortened version of Film Credits from Living Room Songs. |
