Are they worth it?
I vaguely remember listening to part 3 of this a long time ago and not being that impressed. I mean, is it just supposed to be ambient music that just kind of breaks down later in the piece, or is this actually supposed to be interesting and attention-grabbing?
I mean, the parts I heard were fine, I just don't get the immense hype this album gets. I'm tempted to say it comes more from the lore about 9/11 than the actual album itself, but is that not true?
You are correct

This. Basinski is a hack
literal wank
>>72981605
the are definitely worth a listen, but dlp 1.1 is obviously the best.
>it's a Basinski and Chatham set the world straight on social media episode
Glorious. For the record I love the disintegration tapes, they're maximum comfy.
>>72981965
This semi-coherent rant blames the attacks on 'patriarchy' and 'testosterone filled frustrations'. Nice to see you agree with Basinski that toxic masculinity is the problem.
>disintegration tapes
Never mind, you're a board tourist.
>>72981605
Are we going to turn on him like we did with Andrew Jackson Jihad now?
>>72982055
Confused /pol/tards are pretending to like him.
Everybody with taste hated him since the Shallow Rewards video.
Interview of Basinski with Lawrence English:

Pretty cool, IMO.

>ott closed his twitter down again
;_;
i wish he would stop doing interviews and do rambling videos again. those were the best. the interviews are really good, but the first batch of videos are god-tier.
>>72982120
He could be making mad cash rn if he kept going with the video series and hosted them on YT instead of Vimeo, like subs and views in the 100ks.
But he had too much pride and sabotaged himself.
>>72981605
he has much better albums
try Cascade and Watermusic
>>72981605
maybe if you listened to them instead of wasting time making this thread you would know
fucking idiot
like most people in this thread said, it's a boring wankfest. if you want good ambient wank listen to stars of the lid.
>>72982368
>maybe if you listened to them
>I remember listening to part 3
Hmm…
also, the thread hasn't even been up long enough to listen through the whole thing.
>>72982390
stars of the lid are boring backpambient
>>72982503
>i vaguely remember listening to 25% the disintegration loops a long time ago
anyway, you should listen to dlp 2.1 immediately
it's very short
>>72982504
> buzzwords
i hate this board so much. if you have a genuine critique fine, but 'backpacker ambient' makes you sound like an pretentious teen retard.
> inb4 you didn't critique the dloops.
the video by chris ott already did that better than anyone of us could.
>>72982033
Whoops, not sure how I managed to get that wrong. Honestly it's one of my favourite ambient records, up there with Music for Airplanes and Suns of the Lid.
>>72982504
what is some frontambient

Lustmord
>its the same audio sample repeated for an hour
>yeah but he made a blog post blaming muslims and toxic masculinity for something idk
