    M83 has a new 6 track (EP? Mini?) album out today, that is excellent. Which is nice because their last album was disappointing.

      Homegrove I love their early stuff, everything since hurry up, we’re dreaming has been complete shit. Saw them live a few year ago and they didn’t perform a single track from pre-2011.

      I’ll give this a listen, but I’m not expecting much. Hold tight for feedback.

      Edit: yeah it’s a bad rehash of their sound that I hate

        Dubman this was pretty decent, I approached it with some trepedition, but mostly enjoyed it. Day One is a TUNE.

            After Leftfield’s latest album which I did enjoy on the first listen although I haven’t gone back to it. The Orbital album does sound more solid. I reckon it would be good hearing it played live.

              I like orbital a lot, especially live, I’ve seen them probably 5 times in all and have all their albums and 12s right back to dot . But…if someone had told me this was a load of tracks off the studio floor that didn’t quite make albums I’d have not questioned it. Sounds stuck in time. 90s time.

              SM001 this fucking great. Less clubby then last year’s album, but better for home listening.

                  Was there a vinyl release recently?

                  Seem to recall some hipster posts on Insta. Plant pots in background, natch 🪴

                        Dubman I’ve got one of his early tracks….decent tbf.

                            I did like one of his boiler Room sets. Sounded well heavy.

                              Homegrove I started my day of de la soul with breakfast. Almost done 3 feet high, going through as many of their albums as I can today. Always loved their vibe, really similar to early arrested development and digable planets.

                              It’s hard to overstate how good this album is/was, especially for ‘89. Had a lot of their stuff on tape, but haven’t listened to it in ages, it’s going to be a good day.

                                  I like it. Just not blown away by as I was with Anima Mundi. Zukunftsstraße is superb. As is the last track. But will probably take quite a few listens to get into it. However, deffo a better album to be playing out.

                                    Henry home listening for me. Doesn’t go too well with my Beatport top 10 selection (as someone said about my mixes).

                                      Can’t imagine who would say such a terrible thing. 😐

                                      Henry I need to give it another dedicated listen, but that was my first impression too. It’s good, but nowhere near anima mundi.

                                        303abuser Pretty much how I was spent this with the little one in morning… Stakes is High & 3 Feet High. Stellar albums. Never gave them the attention they deserve, just like MF Doom. Happy to be deep diving the discog now. Stakes is High is uffff.

                                            Dubman thought this was rubbish, except for a couple of tracks. Was due to see them in April, but luckily there is a train strike, so will be giving it a big S to the werve

                                              Orbital have been playing the same set for 25 years, will never see them again.

                                              Cheers!
