why is this album so fucking terrible? its literally the most

>>62041990
you just answered your own question

>dildo music

>>62042014
Lol

It's music for people who like basic things That sound "beautiful"

because you have no happy memories of the sun setting into the ocean

>>62041990
I'm guessing you don't listen to a lot of electronic music..

op here, I listened to the art of chill 2 by jon hopkins and it was dope. I was looking for more cool shit but instead i stumbled upon a shit load of pleb elevator music

>>62042057
you like the most basic shit possible what the fuck are you talking about you are in no position to make fun of tycho fans

>>62042072
i listen to tons of edm and fucking hate it. its mostly shit. I can only stand minimal techno and future beat type shit

>i listen to tons of edm

what are you doing on a music board nigga

it's kinda nice

that's about it though. nothing too interesting, nothing too offensive...it's about as exciting as laying on a beach. and that's okay

it's unobtrusive and easy to listen to, and it sounds nice and pleasant

Far from anything amazing, I still enjoy listening to it. I know it's not challenging and understand why people call it bland, but to me it's pleasant in a way a nice breeze is pleasant.

>>62041990
thats too bad. i really like this album.

i remember the first time i heard this me and my friends were out in my little 14ft boat fishing and he put this on. the sun was setting on the pond and it was a perfect summer evening. now every time i hear it i think of that time.
i can see why people wouldnt like it, but i think its very pretty and extremely relaxing.

>>62041990
Yeah this album is pretty shit

>>62042057
Like Coldplay?

>>62042057
Sadly, this tripshit is right. I love Tycho and all, but the album itself is just... bland and repetitive. His first album is great. That's it, it rips off BoC blatantly.

>>62041990
It's good to put on as background music when you need to focus on something else.

Honestly I've played through this album more than 10 times and I have no idea what it sounds like except for the first song.

If you wouldn't suck Tycho's dingus then you are literally gay.

>>62042139
Not sure if that's her lip or her tongue.

Cascade is still a fantastic song though

It's popular. so I'm superior if I tell everyone I don't like it. This is you, OP.

It sounds almost nothing like BoC

>>62042780
explain yourself anon

It's alright. I mean you aren't gonna start any dance parties with it, but it is pretty.

this album puts me to sleep every time
Love it !

Listen to the first Tycho album. Then come again and explain yourself.

>>62042268
Basically except I happen to enjoy a rush of blood to the head.

>>62042941
Sufjan Stevens I really disagree with. He's great. You just don't like him because he gets a lot of attention here.


Coldplay I can totally see where your coming from. They are a bland band and that's part of their appeal honestly. They don't challange anything.

Mr. Bungle is not that popular here. Mr.Bungle is not /mu/core either.

because dude weed lmao

>>62042232
I agree. I play this album late at night all this time. It's refreshing to listen to after a day of bombarding myself with music full of experimentation, color, abrasiveness, etc. It is a tame album, but still has elements that grab the listener's attention in a calming way. 7/10 albums, good for the "downtempo" moments in life they were made for.

Basically, it's soundtrack music. That's why every yt comment is about how they just *love* doing their homework to it. You know, normies tend to think this way about music a lot... "This song got me through a tough time"... "This song is perfect for driving down the road with friends". Like music is this purely complementary thing to whatever they're doing. Plebs can't appreciate art for its own sake, and that's OK. That's why there are albums like this one-- albums called fucking "dive", as in, "dive in to the experience of what you're doing in life with this album, man."

>>62041990
Jesus Christ /mu/ at first you really dig this album and now you hate it.
You guys literally hate everything that's popular simply because it is popular.

Fucking mouth breathers.

>>62041990
It's music that sounds excellent if you haven't listened to Boards of Canada or OPN before

>>62046498

>>62046761
True. This was such a let down after waiting so long. I'm not saying it's bad, just as you said, dissapointing.

Its background noise. Relaxing. Not all electronic music can be as interesting or varied as say, OPN.

>>62042273
Blue Oyster Cult?

>>62042057
>like coldplay?

>>62041990
i like tycho desu family

>>62042649
Awake is like The Campfire Headphase for Tycho.

except that this post is right. damn what has this board come to. tycho sounds almost nothing like boc.

its like saying chocolate and gummy bears are similar

Why does that shit come up in my suggestions all the time? It's in my Up Next way too much.

>>62049737
Listen to better music :^)

>>62049847
But I don't listen to whatever this ambient garbage is. That's why it confuses me.

>>62049885
I honestly don't really know what to do, then. Take it up with YT, I guess.

Saw them live at a festival, was kind of excited but it turned out pretty boring. The studio albums are actually better

Would rather listen to bonobo for "chill beats" any day

>>62042634
Holy shit I hadn't listened to Tycho and boards of Canada recently but you're right. Boc might not do the percussion like that but the synth is uncanny

basically people are a bunch of feminine wimps these days who can't listen to anything that doesn't sound "soft" and "calming"

>>62042634
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z49hmBKnIFw
GUYS ! Please listen to this at 1.25 x speed, it creates a whole new perspective of the song, so a completely new one is created. And you understand the beat Tycho composed in a much more slower and smoother version. kind of Lounge-y

>>62052309
>giorno_giovanna.jpg
Tbh, that does sound pretty neat.

>>62052459
Wait...

baka desu senpai KEK

>>62052459
yeah i was making fun but its actually a decent suggestion

better than any of the "list goes on..." guys

I like the minimalism.

It's a phenomologist's wet dream, as it basically is aesthetic music personified.

Here's a hot opinion (spoilers this is actually true): I like Tycho AND Boards of Canada. Whaddya gonna do about it?!

>>62052506
lol, absolutely not

>>62052508
this is not minimal music, or all pop music is minimal

>>62045739
you're and idiot

I haven't listened to this album in a long time, but it actually develops its themes in relatively interesting ways at points. I wouldn't completely discount it

>>62052508
>aesthetic music personified

elaborate?

>>62052557
I do, too, but at least BoC decided not to constantly see how many times they could get away with remaking TCH.

....REALLY?

>>62041990
Its literally BOC lite. Its MHTRTC without all the uniqueness.

>>62053366
No. There is much more to Tycho than this. Tonally they are quite similar, but structurally, directionally, very different.

Tycho is literally the result of someone trying to make a BOC song as hard as possible.

>>62053576
Why did you repost all the songs posted itt instead of just linking them?

>>62053576
there are some really sexy subtleties on here.

boc have a crazily unique style, for whatever reason, so it only seems like tycho is apeing them.

>>62046761
>>62046828

>being this pleb

>>62046761
because it didn't have to live up to any standards

It's music in the same way graphic design is painting.

so you do you fucking lesbian

>>62045739
Wow you speak like an absolute basement dweller. Some music just sounds better in certain situations, doesn't mean you can apretiate it by itself tho.

>>62041990

this garbage constantly showed up on my Youtube recommended videos for months

this was probably 2 years ago before I even browsed /mu/ or cared about music

>Feelsmuchbetternow.jpg

I tried listening to it, and a few tracks in I forgot I was listening to it.
I wasn't even doing anything else at the time.
It was just so uninteresting that it essentially became non-music while I was listening to it, like soft white noise.

I'd feel bad crucifying it with a poor rating because I've never actually finished it, but I've never felt a desire to finish it either.

>>62042243
It's so nothing though. I'd rather listen to birdsong and crickets and stuff.

>>62045739

As screencapped this perfect comment for later use.

Gives off a very nostalgic feeling for youngsters. Safe, unoffensive downtempo for "indie" kids who never touch the genre otherwise. All that sad, I love this album but it's been awhile since I've listened to it.

>>62041990
Because at some point someone would make an ambient-pop album.

I wish those musicians would not allow themselves any repetitions, and would go faster in developing their ideas or their findings, because I don’t appreciate at all this permanent repetitive language.

It is like someone who is stuttering all the time, and can’t get words out of his mouth. I think musicians should have very concise figures and not rely on this fashionable psychology. I don’t like psychology whatsoever: using music like a drug is stupid.

One shouldn’t do that: music is the product of the highest human intelligence, and of the best senses, the listening senses and of imagination and intuition.

And as soon as it becomes just a means for ambiance, as we say, environment, or for being used for certain purposes, then music becomes a whore, and one should not allow that really; one should not serve any existing demands or in particular not commercial values. That would be terrible: that is selling out the music.
