Hyperion1001
06.04.23 | there were a few i shopped but i figured id stick with the classics. big plus this one is on spotify this time : )
dopplereffekt - gesamtkunstwerk |
PotsyTater
06.04.23 | Haha i really felt the effects of constantly having access to the internet on my attention span in a new way when I sought out that last rec. We have gone from being just THRILLED that the internet made it possible to download an endless catalogue of music through torrents and for the really obscure stuff all we had to do was search it up and wait seven days for it to download because there werent enough seeders.
Now im out here downloading slsk onto my new computer because my old laptop that actually had slsk on it is so old that I can't connect bluetooth headphones to it and I don't own any headphones with wires anymore, asking myself "does itunes even still exist and if not how am i even going to play these files" and then groaning when the download says its going to take 15 minutes 😂 |

06.04.23 | How do I keep doing this you hate the music that I like
DJ Sprinkles - Midtown 120 Blues |
Ryus
06.04.23 | aint no way pots doesnt know that album if i he doesnt i will be GOBSMACKED |
AsleepInTheBack
06.04.23 | I can’t see it rated pots have you been a lazy boi and not imputed numbers into this database |
robertsona
06.04.23 | rah band forever |
ArsMoriendi
06.04.23 | Sam the Samba Man is good yeah |
PotsyTater
06.04.23 | @ryus bruh I’ve went to check that album out about 40 times over the years and every time it’s not on Spotify and I say “fuck it then” and then forget why I haven’t checked it out yet a couple months later and repeat |
AsleepInTheBack
06.04.23 | Today is the day |
PotsyTater
06.04.23 | Well… one day soon is the day at least LOL |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.04.23 | are singles ok? if so Artemis - Elysian Fields/Desideradi |
PotsyTater
06.04.23 | You can do whatever tf you want, just be aware of the risk
|
JohnnyoftheWell
06.04.23 | is 17 mins of perfect dnb i'll take the risk
*shits pants* |
PotsyTater
06.04.23 | Risky Randy modifier incoming |
Havey
06.04.23 | not sure about the tactics here
midtown 120 blues is a guaranteed safety vest + accessibility crisis + larry long-balls triple combo
then again im one to talk |
Storm In A Teacup
06.04.23 | "not sure about the tactics here"
Normally i would say stick around figure it out but you dont deserve that kind of optimism. Uh....fin. 🥰 |
Storm In A Teacup
06.04.23 | The only reason you dont deserve that respect is the respect youve already gained and are owed. Understandable regardless. |
Storm In A Teacup
06.05.23 | Uh.. i might be drunk apoligies if i seem offensive jusr trying to be loving |
PotsyTater
06.05.23 | Havey probably but he will likely cancel out the safety vest at least with a risky Randy for rec’ing a long balls accessibility crisis |
PotsyTater
06.05.23 | Maybe he’ll even score a Patty pander |
Jasdevi087
06.05.23 | Layo and Bushwacka! - Night Works |
z00sh
06.05.23 | frankie knuckles - live at ministry sound, 1991 |
Avagantamos
06.05.23 | probably a risk going with an avagantamos-core IDM rec, but this album lifts me out of my chair and shakes and quakes me. feels like the right move.
Terminal 11 - Self Exorcism |
AsleepInTheBack
06.05.23 | Last time I did one of these pots comps I went risky Randy on round 2 and lost everything. I am going FULL BOOGIE no WOOGIE this time. |
IsisScript80
06.05.23 | Sweet! Going for Orbital - 'In Sides' here...
Side note: On Spotify, the last track "The Saint" is a non album-canon bonus (crappy film tie-in single). It's better without it there, and that's the way it should be, IMO. |
Trifolium
06.05.23 | Oooooooh Isis that's a good one!!!!
Thinking about mine, I'll come back to it soon... |
Snake.
06.05.23 | 808 state - 90 |
Hyperion1001
06.05.23 | oo thats a good one. pacific is an all timer. |
Sinternet
06.05.23 | have you heard mondo grosso at all? if not ill go for the 2017 album 何度でも新しく生まれる |
PotsyTater
06.05.23 | Nope! |
Sinternet
06.05.23 | there you go then, album is a banger (maybe v slightly too long but after you criticised the brevity of my last im gonna spin too far in the opposite direction out of spite) |
PotsyTater
06.05.23 | Lmao |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.05.23 | Mondo Grosso is the only scenario in the universe where Pots gets into the same room as Etsuko Yakushimaru lol can't wait to see how this goes
Gonna switch mine to Shogun – Nautilus EP. Same guy, same sound, same goodness, but comes with a tasty Latin downtempo closer that I think has got the edge I'm looking for for this |
anat
06.05.23 | I will make the finals next time |
Gyromania
06.05.23 | the prodigy - the fat of the land is my rec. if you've heard that one, try another one by them called music for the jilted generation, which is honestly just as good. |
PotsyTater
06.05.23 | I’ve heard both. Nostalgia redeems the former and I don’t like the latter |
Gyromania
06.05.23 | david bowie - scary monsters |
Jasdevi087
06.05.23 | he had Tonight 5'd there's no way he hasn't heard scary monsters |
PotsyTater
06.05.23 | I have not |
Gyromania
06.06.23 | lol there's no shot you 5d that album unless it was a troll, in which case i salute you |
Jasdevi087
06.06.23 | guiltiest thing he's ever admitted tbh |
PotsyTater
06.06.23 | Oh yeah I 5’d that album for the meme I don’t care about Bowie at all I just randomly have that one on cassette and think it’s funny |
Jasdevi087
06.06.23 | valid tbh |
Gyromania
06.06.23 | obviously after this you'll be the biggest bowie stan of them all. wait, if you haven't listen to mine yet, pls listen to station to station instead, i think you'll enjoy it more |
Ryus
06.06.23 | ITS TOO LATE gyro
|
Gyromania
06.06.23 | no STFU it's never too late! |
Ryus
06.06.23 | i hope u picked up on my amazing station to station reference |
Gyromania
06.06.23 | it was a great reference, no doubt about it |
PotsyTater
06.06.23 | I don’t think he got it |
Gyromania
06.06.23 | it's lyrics to one of the best songs ever |
Ryus
06.06.23 | best bowie song best bowie album m/ |
Ryus
06.06.23 | but scary monsters is prob 2nd so yeah both good picks |
PotsyTater
06.06.23 | Im really skeptical that a Bowie album is gonna come through for me too hard but we’ll see! |
Ryus
06.06.23 | if u cant rock with the coked up whiteboi funk you are a robot |
PotsyTater
06.06.23 | We’ll see |
Gyromania
06.06.23 | Go in with an open mind. There’s stuff on there I def think you’d enjoy. Back when I used to think Bowie was overrated, StS was the album that got me more into him |
PotsyTater
06.10.23 | alright im starting this, trif i still need a rec from you |
Trifolium
06.10.23 | Oh yeah you're right!!!
This one is cool and danceable, hope you haven't heard it:
DJ Krush and Ronnie Jordan - Bad Brothers |
AsleepInTheBack
06.10.23 | Oh lord he coming |
PotsyTater
06.10.23 | Are you scared |
AsleepInTheBack
06.10.23 | Would you like to fuck |
PotsyTater
06.10.23 | Only if you’re scared |
Gyromania
06.10.23 | Hype |
Hyperion1001
06.10.23 | yes? |
Gyromania
06.11.23 | Gotem |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | If I could trim the really bad tracks from your rec sint it would probably be close to a 4 but there are just a few unforgivable misgivings that really temper my enthusiasm of the overall experience |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.13.23 | boo mondo grosso opener is a huge bop and miles away from any functional anime radar. closer defs the opposite scenario though |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | There are 100% parts of the opener that sound like anime credit music |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.13.23 | i'm gonna play two contradictory trap cards at once and say that a) is this the fault of the song or relative your overexposure to anime and b) hmm who is most qualified to make that call
one of them will be the right one |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | Well first of all I’d say that I’m underexposed to anime so not a and also not b because I think that YOU are too overexposed to anime thus making the barely perceivable nuances seem exaggerated to you while in reality to the other 95% of the planet it sounds like anime credit sequence music |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.13.23 | this will probs shock you as much as anyone else, but my anime exposure is pretty modest compared to the majority of People Who Actively Watch Anime on the site. didn't have much to do with a kid aside from the occasional pokemon/yugioh episode (and don't get me wrong, i was glued to that shit, but my fam didn't have the right tv channels for it, so it was a rare deal). hadn't even seen a ghibli movie by the time i left uni, and then i got into j-music after visiting the country and into some anime from there. defs had a good phase with it for the best part of a year, but the majority of anime i watched in japan was either for social events or self-study with japanese subs. p much all the anime i watch now is with my gf (which is a 10/10 experience, but also not something i'd dig as much on my own)
all of which is to say that how dare you my anime exposure is übermensch tier and Time is a wholesome bop. also, the newest Mondo Grosso brings all ends together bc the anime songs are (mostly) the best, whereas the one you jammed is indeed basically an overlong pop-house record with some songs that belong there much more than others |
Hyperion1001
06.13.23 | gotta admit that reads alot like an addict trying to explain how theyre not actually an addict lmao |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | “ pretty modest compared to the majority of People Who Actively Watch Anime on the site”
Ok but you have to admit that that’s a bad reference point because people who actively watch anime on this site seem like they watch A LOT of anime. Like… near constant amounts of anime lmao |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.13.23 | 10 yr old me 100% would have been an anime addict lol, in retrospect i find it kinda confusing that i bypassed that timeline, but if that is what fate ordained for me to have the perfect mondo grosso takes 17 yrs later, so be it
"Like… near constant amounts of anime lmao"
every day this site makes me supremely self-aware of a) how much i enjoy metal and anime and b) how much of those things i actually consume in the grander scheme of things lol |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | “ some songs that belong there much more than others”
Regardless of if we can settle whether the opener sounds like anime ass anime I am happy with agreeing on this point |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | Jesus Christ am I going to have to open slsk for this dj sprinkles album too? |
Ryus
06.13.23 | yes |
Jasdevi087
06.13.23 | make trif's album gyro's other Bowie rec |
Jasdevi087
06.13.23 | nvm he recd dj krush, let him have it |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | Thats sooooooo annoying |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.13.23 | trif literally invented slsk |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | I am firmly annoyed rn |
Trifolium
06.13.23 | Hi please use Soulseek™ to your heart's content and then some, and please disable your Adblocker when doing so, thanks! Kisses!!!
Yeah I rec'd something already Pots 🤭 |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | I know sorry just haven’t added it yet |
Trifolium
06.13.23 | No worries! Was just curious whether I had to keep looking because you've already heard everything ever. |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | Wow so many of these are not on Spotify I hate you all |
Sinternet
06.13.23 | very fair take, it is a bit long and some of the vocals are weaker than others. the boppest bops though are boptastic. |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | Agreed, some of the songs were incredible and it was majorly worth the listen
Wow this laylo album is starting STRONG |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | That was a big ass flex jasi, loved that album. Terminal 11 was really good too. Listening to orbital now |
Trifolium
06.13.23 | Omg Orbital. Super nice album 💚💞 |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | I’m having mixed feelings. I really like some parts but there have also been some hard skips |
Trifolium
06.13.23 | Yeah figured as much. It happens! |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | Latter half has been vibes tho. The skips were early. I thought the box part 1 and 2 sucked particularly |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | Out there somewhere part 2 slaps hard and ironically reminds me of Out From Out Where era Amon Tobin a little bit
The Box Part 1 and 2 had bad Four Tet vibes |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | More irony: I say out there somewhere reminds me of spy music era amon Tobin and then the next song (the saint) is literally the most spy-ass spy music I’ve ever heard in my life (not in a good way tho) |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | HYPE have you heard Fear of a Wack Planet by Wackdaddies |
Trifolium
06.13.23 | Hahahaha yeah! Don't count The Saint in your rating though, it's a bonus track. |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | Oh yeah isis said that didn’t they |
Trifolium
06.14.23 | True!
Hype! You're almost done already! |
AsleepInTheBack
06.14.23 | Why you gotta leave me hanging like that bro |

06.14.23 | "HYPE have you heard Fear of a Wack Planet by Wackdaddies"
i have not but im about to! |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.14.23 | this spotify score mod is gentrification how dare you |
PotsyTater
06.14.23 | I’m not sure if it will be your thing but your rec reminded me of it cuz it scratches a similar itch for me of just fun ass electronic that doesn’t take itself too seriously but more in the house vein |
PotsyTater
06.14.23 | @jon hey man I don’t make the rules
Oh wait I do |
AsleepInTheBack
06.14.23 | Reported |
Hyperion1001
06.14.23 | oh yeah this is Paul woolford, who does tons of stuff I love. definitely my vibe. |
PotsyTater
06.14.23 | Word nice I didn’t know if you cared much for tech house, also did not know it was Paul Woolford, just a spontaneous buy based on the name and title one day lol. I like Special Request |
Jasdevi087
06.14.23 | i tuned into my inner pots by studying for the prostate exam |
PotsyTater
06.14.23 | Hell ya |
IsisScript80
06.15.23 | "I forgot you asked me to not listen to The Saint and did anyway and it was the worst shit ever but don't worry I'm not taking it into account."
Appreciate that. :)
Pity in a way that "The Box" 1 and 2 didn't do it for you as I love them (and I'm sure it's sequenced/designed to be the album's main centrepiece), but all good.
May the eventual winner enjoy their Amazon voucher/cat/taint pic. |
Pheromone
06.15.23 | is it too late to submit the T.A.T.u album
i kind of didnt think too hard with the kino choice dam |
PotsyTater
06.15.23 | I mean yes lol but also which tatu album? I may listen anyways |
PotsyTater
06.15.23 | Loved that one song as a kid |
PotsyTater
06.16.23 | all that’s left is miss sprinkles here we go |
Ryus
06.16.23 | "Bruh like… some of this is straight up honky-tonk bullshit. I don’t care about this AT ALL. Stay is the only song I liked even a little bit."
gulag, immediately |
PotsyTater
06.16.23 | As long as they won’t be playing station to station there |
PotsyTater
06.16.23 | Ok i have a lot to consider, plz be advised that the highest rating of the second round does not necessarily win the comp, i will be taking into account the recs from both rounds as well as many other factors such as how much I like you and whether or not i can see myself starting a family with you, best of luck to you all |
Trifolium
06.16.23 | Niiice! Ronnie adds a lot to that album doesn't he! |
Gyromania
06.16.23 | Awful take! I actually rly did think you’d like that one just based on how good the music is |
izakaya
06.16.23 | assuming Club Lonely is the lil louis track? song and the album it's from is a banger
station to station take is terrible but it's a weird rec for a dance comp tbf |
PotsyTater
06.16.23 | @izakaya yea
@all gonna bump my bowie rating down to 1.5 if I hear another peep |
Gyromania
06.16.23 | You’re gonna listen to that album again in 10 years and call me up and be like “Matt you were totally right about StS and Bowie overall. I was so damn wrong”. And I’ll forgive you of course, but not at first, it’ll take time |
PotsyTater
06.16.23 | Opinions change so that is quite possible but I mean look at the 40 year olds of this site…
Not exactly the age of the tastemaker 🐀 |
PotsyTater
06.16.23 | That rat was supposed to be cry laugh emoji lol |
Gyromania
06.16.23 | Lmao point taken |
ArsMoriendi
06.16.23 | I love Station to Station, but who the hell has a dance party to it? |
Hyperion1001
06.16.23 | im just happy I made it to a second round in one of these. |
PotsyTater
06.16.23 | You might make top 5 here |
AsleepInTheBack
06.17.23 | Soz for the basic bitch rec but glad you fuck it |
