A safe and uneventful "return to form", Toby sounding the closest to his 90's output since the year 2000. Nothing new, but kind of a warm sound blanket to wrap yourself into as you recall the good old, simpler times of decades past.
7:49 if you liked that political track, I'm sure you would enjoy Grant Wakefield's The Fire This Time. Its basically a documentary about the gulf war in the form of an IDM album. Would recommend.
@@fanda_144 Yes, I just checked and it looks like pre-orders have already started and it will be released on Spotify as well. I'm happy to finally be able to listen to it on Spotify. For some reason it wasn't distributed until now.
Long time BdG-Fan here... I have to say I am listening to this album for last few days in heavy rotation. It is for me a great development of his old stuff (which of course is legendary and probably not reachable). Unlike Apollo, that I didn't like that much, but on the other side I liked Farewell Ferengistan due to stand out tracks YNYS ELEN and WHITE MAN'S BURDEN. By the way the drumming is real on the last many albums, because he actually has a drummer in his band for about 2 decades if I remember correctly. So I am pretty sure the drumming of MO DHIA are real drums, not some synth, and even if it is sampled drums, it is definitely played by a live artist, not just programmed. And thats what I like about his last 2 decades: going away from the programmed stuff that all do. Away from "techno" clichees and bringing the much required distraction, also from standard four-on-the-floor drum rhythms and the standard fills, both of which you never really heard from him - and that makes him special along with all the world sounds. I definitely would never use words like "house" or "techno" for BdG out of these reasons :)... Along with DELERIUM and ENIGMA this project is the last of the three perfect world sound electronic bands... each of them bringing their complete own style into the genre :).
Also, Primal Scream released an album on the 8th of november. Might be a good album for the next SSIM and a good chance to do an in brief segment on their work.
I'm... not sure tbh. if I'm being brutally honest I didn't really care for it that much and I have a lot of complicated reasons for feeling that way (mainly thanks to its adaptation of a Zi*nist poet's work that I don't know how to properly compartmentalize, not to mention instrumentally I feel it's noticeably less interesting than his previous work). I've tried writing up a script for a SSIM segment on it a few times but it just never felt right to me, not just because I don't feel fully equipped to tackle the subject matter but also because Alon Mor isn't the most well known artist and I don't want to use my platform to send the wrong kind of message
Definitely conflicted about AI, it definitely can be used for good reasons and causes but it sucks the current system is incentivizing the bad use cases (similar to something like automation)

6:12 I wish that more artists still made funky big beat stuff nowadays, that stuff goes HARD

I just saw that BT is gonna be remastering This Binary Universe and putting it on streaming
Where did he say this?
@@NioMaxie
If you look on his Spotify page, the album countdown for This Binary Universe is a thing there!
Is it true?
I would be very happy if it was true...
@@Hasuo2001 I think he made a post about it on X

@TheWonkyAngle ah ok I fully understand. Didn't know about the origins of some of that. Thanks for the response I really appreciate it.

Good job... me too. :)
