|
| Jash Yeah bro I have for years, I?ll link my two projects below soundcloud.com/intriketsoundcloud.com/soonbeats
|
| VlacDrac You are welcome. I can confirm they are great, two weeks ago I bought from them for the first time and, in less than a week my order arrived to my home. I bought Quadrant Dub, Enforcement and Q 1.1
|
| VlacDrac You can look in boomkat .com, clone .nl and Hardwax. Even some Rythmn and Sound stuff got repressed.
|
| VlacDrac Sup, did you buy a copy of those Basic Channel/Maurizio reissues?
|
| evilford Hey norm u have a chance to check any of those dm recs yet?
|
| Hyperion1001 nope, never heard of him, but I?ve been listening to mostly electronic stuff for weeks now so it?ll be very ripe. gonna check thanks for the heads up.
|
| Pheromone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLspmbVEvho for ur enjoyment
|
| Parallels Thank you for your kind words and sharing the appreciation of an album. I enjoy being possed in the Sputnikmusic sense, if you haven't already then I would thank you kindly so I may have my ego raised enough to continue writing.
|
| Trifolium Feedback provided. Enjoyed reading and very hyped to check the album!
|
| Trifolium Discord is fine! I'll do it tomorrow, it's time for cooking and watching movies now.
|
| evilford Hey bro did u see my last shout at u? Also, check gutvoid. One of the best 2022 dm releases.
|
| Trifolium Sure! Send it over, I can have a look at it today. Curious, that does sound good!
|

|
| JohnnyoftheWell what is THIS i had literally just shoutboxed z00sh and i return to my page to find THIS what is the excuse for THIS don't call me!!!!
|
| rellik009 well it certainly is cool, thanks for the rec!
|
| MarsKid When you log in to the forum, it should appear underneath the Help/Bugs/whateveryoucallit forum, at the top of the page.
|
| MarsKid Contributor forum! I believe we have already dished out blurbs at this time, however. I'd check with Jom in the dib thread.
|
| rellik009 zis FUNKIN beat, DAMN! Is that your album?
|
| MarsKid Hey man! Head on down to the 'trib forum when you get the chance, it is BLURB SEASON time! :^)
|
| Colton An octagon man, so rare to findHe stands tall and strong, so solid and kindHis eight sides, each one unique and trueThey all come together, forming him anewHe's a man of action, always on the goBut he knows how to relax, and take it slowHe's a man of the world, but also a man of the homeHe's an octagon man, and he'll never roam
|
| Hyperion1001 no worries bud, hope you enjoy it and are doing well.
|
| evilford Nice nice, u can't go wrong with shug. Living situation rules so ahrd, I mean money is always tight between child support and rent but it's kewl. Glad you're hanging in there. And yeah I would urge you to check (if u havent) ctawb and unholy cult, 2 of the best dm albums ever imo. Ctawb is one of only 2 albums I've ever insta-5d and it still sits comfortably there.
|
| evilford Brother norm how have u been? You've heard immolation right? Top tier dm band. Robert Vigna is an absolute riff genius
|
| VlacDrac Thanks, I too also appreciate seeing you in here, I have always been more of a lurker, however, I've been using the site a lot more lately, even though there are times when activity is painfully sluggish. Regarding the Chain Reaction recs, I have some:Pelon - No Stunts Pts. 1 and 2Vainqueur - Elevation (I, II and III) Ridis - FotoHalucinator - KilimanjaroVarious Artists - 1Substance - RelishResilent - 1.2Vladislav Delay - Huone
|

|

|
| JesperL congrats you oddly attractive shape!!
|
| Pheromone contragutailation norma, norma my one and only queen
|
| Kompys2000 Big congrats on making the contrib team!! Super hyped to read more of ur reviews
|
| parksungjoon i wonder why most of the comments on this are from the last month or so, seems like an obscure artist afaict https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKAyH-JNkUw
|
| VlacDrac Ahhh, I see. It's good to have you back.
|
| VlacDrac Damn, I'm sorry about your account. Mods can get too uppity sometimes.
|
| TheSpaceMan have not, definitely heard that reference before. to be honest im not really sure i know what 30 rock is. should i check it out?
|
| Pon Either way best of luck in hitting the quadruple chinese lucky number, I'll enjoy being treated to another 8872 norm posts ?
|
| Pon whoa hey now buddy my mean rating across the like 20 techno albums I've heard is prob 3.4 or something making it a considerably above average genre
|
| Pon Oh lmao I don't care about that I was wondering where all your posts went
|
| Pon Wot da fugg D:
|
| parksungjoon honestly i figured Gas is popular enough now with rym types that more people would be hunting down everything Voigt has worked on... it doesn't seem like Studio 1 is very known though, like i told hype i only found out about it from some guy on youtube
|
| dedex I was scared! You just didn't wanna have more than 8888 comments!
|
| dedex what's wiff the comment wipe? :[
|
| Assemblage For the second, I wasn't sure your style of dm even though your fives are straight, but going off of your Cynic/Necrophagist vibes I recommend Animarum's - The Gaian Mind. I've been having trouble posting the bandcamp link for it in my comment here though. Came out this year.
|
| Assemblage Hey Oct, I have two recs for you. One metal, one not. The first is the debut Radio Supernova album which I adored. https://radiosupernova.bandcamp.com/album/t-htiin
|
| porcupinetheater Okay yeah Im getting myself into unwind mode, got El Camino on and reading some Junji Ito and can confirm that this tune is ?the business,? thank you for bringing it back into my night you beautiful astral soothe-sayer
|
| porcupinetheater Vibes like a couple minutes after you get caught in a downpour, once you stop running and accept that you're going to be soaked to the bone and take it down to a stroll, watching your feet
|
| porcupinetheater Ok I appreciate the sentiment but I'm not sure that that exempts me from the consequences of being a sleepyhead. I got this bad habit where I put ambient records on in the dark at night to proper bliss, and it's like a plus-650 odds I make it through conscious (shouts to Stars of the Lid). And I did this twos with El Camino and conked quick but the few minutes I remember are phucking stunning
|
| porcupinetheater Omg lets start a commune! We can raise bees and sell raw honey and also make cute little wood furniture pieces to supplement the income the whole commune gets from yr sick showstopping DJ sets. Plus we can talk to all the newcomers about "the accident" and never qualify what that means, such a beautiful future
|
| porcupinetheater Glad you still getting some of the realz dealz rolling through, but also hell yeah, if you find yourself breezing through Chicago at any point and you're comfy with it, hit me up! Got a lot of affection for this city, even with its obvi drawbacks of being in the USA
|
| porcupinetheater Not so much, tbh, generally prefer record listening to shows for metal, just cuz the metal crowd can be ugh, and the pits are way more fun for hardcore/punk thingaroos. But seeing Holy Fawn in a couple weeks, first since the pano, so stoked up!! What's the live sitch out in your neck of the woods?
|
| JesperL nice, agreed on that song i think yes. i loved their 2020 album, that one's a bit heavier on the dreamy/glitchy stuff (and better) but glad you got something out of the ep :]
|
| JesperL oof yea seems like it's not on bandcamp, here's a yt playlist link tho: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mZ92vMVxAg3drKtoKE79FDXfU62Vv1CfM
|
| JesperL hey bb check the new coals ep, you may vibe
|
| dedex hey Norm Al Octagon, thought about applying for contrib? electronic revs needed pls!!!!!
|
| Trifolium Hahahaha BOOOM backstabber me! Yeah he's started asking questions about it about a month ago so something is definitely in the works. It was a big task indeed, whoa, quite time consuming but also very fun.
|
| Trifolium No tradition is that the winner takes over next year, so it's going to be.......... PHERO this year!
|
| Jethro42 Hi Norm. What about another prog tourney starting this spring? If you're willing, just say ''I'm in''at that link; https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=197193
|
| SitarHero Haha fair enough, I'm just holding up a mirror for sinty.
|
| SitarHero Lol dude I'm just quoting sinternet back at him. Dude had an epic meltdown a couple of weeks ago because someone was mildly critical of Black Country New Road
|
| evilford Everything is as it should be i guess lol
|
| evilford I'M HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE (directly to you) THAT GORGUTS HAS TAKEN OVER THE NUMBER 1 SPOT FOR ALL-TIME SCROBBLES ON MY LAST.FM
|
| Gyromania aw it's not that good eh? that's a huge bummer, man. yes is so fking good
|
| evilford Effigy was 4.4 for years too idk what happened but im still pissed
|
| evilford Lmao. Nice bro yeah I jammed it earlier (effigy) album slaps the big one hard. Pierced from within is their 1995 album. It rules a lot but effigy has probably been one of my fav dm albums from day 1 so it has a special place in me heart
|
| Trifolium Yesssss. Liked but did not love, but what not is might just become. Goodnight occy!!
|
