Guest antic Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Notes say 2CDs, so I'm hoping for chill / up-tempo combo. http://www.arabesquedistribution.com/index.php?option=com_artistavenue&task=singleCd&id=3536&Itemid=1 3 Quote
Amygdala Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 From his webpage: CD 1 will feature more of the up-tempo banging tunes, YES, there's some techno, YES, there's some Drum n Bass and YES, there is plenty of QUALITY 'ALIEN INFUSED' Trance... the mission with all the tracks this time, was to show that albums's are very much alive and well and STILL the most important thing to me and the main reason I have continued with Eat Static all these years. CD 2 will be a full length experimental downtempo offering... you have been warned! I have recorded this album the old school way... ie - isolation, lots of old gorgeous analogue synths, and taking every single track as far as I could, with experimentation and trying new idea's out... I wanted to push forwards and make music worthy of the 21st century... consequently, it's THE most 'Static' sounding album since the early days... no commercial pressure, just pure love, sweat and literally, tears... both these CDs are VERY personal this time and every single tune on there has a part of my genetic code within it... You may also be interested to know that I have done a couple of collaborations for this release... for the banging trance stuff, I have Laughing Buddha, Chris Rich and Martian Arts all guesting... and boy, did we let loose! And on the downtempo stuff, I've worked with Georgina Brett, who specialises in Vocal Looping techniques and makes amazing ethereal music, Robbert Heijnen - former member of Psychick Warriors of Gaia and founder member of Exquisite Corpse, and Mik Singh, a new name on the scene... the sessions all went so well, I am already discussing do more with these characters... sublime! 3 Quote

Guest antic Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Samples up: http://www.arabesquedistribution.com/index.php?option=com_artistavenue&task=singleCd&id=3536&Itemid=1 Jaw, meet the floor 2 Quote
Dolmot Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 If have an uneasy feeling listening to the samples. There's something disturbing in here. Although it could also be Afgin watching me from the ad banner. Quote
Guest antic Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 If have an uneasy feeling listening to the samples. There's something disturbing in here. Eat Static was always like that - genious, bordering with insane and tacky. I'd actually prefer 1st disc without the break-beat / dubstep / jungle tracks, because they belong to 2nd disc, but I'm optimistic 1 Quote
Amygdala Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Goodness, sounds like it was custom-tailored especially for ME! Can't wait...! - A 1 Quote
Guest The Hypnotic LFO Room Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Sounds very nice but I just think it's a huge shame he also went down the "Mashine-Gun" bassline road. It ruins it for me on those tunes where it's used. Thumbs down for the cover artwork. 1 Quote
Blair Thaumic Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 It's pretty hard to get away from full-on cheese with UK releases (Nervasystem is a rare - and welcome - exception.) I'm guessing that Merv did a few tracks for that audience, a few for the dubstep kiddies, and then some for himself. Whatever the promo text says. 1 Quote
Padmapani Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Thumbs down for the cover artwork. come on, his music has always been riddled with cheesy 50s alien samples so that the cover is only appropriate. 1 Quote

In your opinion The artwork is one thing but when the "designer" can't even place the typeface without hitting the border of the image it's IMO too rushed and poor designed. 1 Quote
Paul Eye Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 The artwork is one thing but when the "designer" can't even place the typeface without hitting the border of the image it's IMO too rushed and poor designed. That's a cropped version of the artwork. The pics he put up on Facebook are the real deal https://www.facebook.com/eatstatic/photos/pb.19615493659.-2207520000.1438203840./10153073020218660/?type=3&theater 1 Quote
kiriyama Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I feel like the artwork fits the music well and the concept to which Eat Static has adhered throughout the years. I would've loved to have this as 2x12" especially because of the artwork. Quote
Guest antic Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Anyone heard this in full yet? I'm waiting for psyshop to offer PsyRIP before ordering... Quote
BraneFreeze Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Give a listen http://mesmobeat.bandcamp.com/album/dead-planet Quote
Penzoline Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Parallel worlds is epic! Haven't had that much of a spaced out experience on rolling bassline in a while. Quote
Starkraver Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Here's some more of them crazy voodoo dolls weeeeeee.. Quote
DarkAngel Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 yep it's awesome album. Now EAT STATIC! <3 Quote
StratosOZ Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Shit, this is good! Maybe some fullon here and there, but its stylish and well-done. Highly varied, psychedelic as hell. One of the best offerings of 2015 in my book. Quote
Manuser Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I just listened to the whole thing and if you dig a wide range of different genres I don't think you can go wrong by getting this album, very solid stuff IMO. One of the best this year. Quote
