This is a landmark album in the history of electronic music. One of the all-time masterpieces of the genre, and one of the greatest albums of any genre in the past decade. Pitchfork just 100% discredited themselves out of the criticism game by not even mentioning this album. If you're not even aware of the most cutting edge excursions on the frontier of postmodernist 21st century beat music, then you're an out-of-touch, clueless, dinosaur publication on your way to extinction. Pitchfork is lame as shit. How can anyone take them seriously now? The same applies of a lesser extent to theneedledrop, who at least very briefly mentioned this album in a video and gave it some casual props, but clearly failed to understand the utter importance of this record, which deserved a full-length review and a 10/10 by his particular rating system. So Fantano is looking like a dinosaur too.
Ironically the most hip and cutting edge reviewer remains one of the oldest in the game: we all know who he is. These young critics are getting embarrassed, looking like out-of-touch amateurs.
This is important for the postmodern community. Let the bullshit critics fade away in irrelevance, like the Rolling Stones magazine of yore, and let the new serious commentators rise up in their place. Impossible Nothing just provided a benchmark to sift out the real from the fake. This is a big score for Popmatters, hopefully it will help propel their ascension to the top of the music journalism community. Pitchfork on the other hand was dealt their final, killing blow, ushering in their now inevitable decline.
Scaruffi in the meantime will remain by far the most reliable go-to resource. He's outside the criticism game. Scaruffi stays steady on his historical scholar grind, documenting live from the frontiers of music and human consciousness, providing a year by year account that will accurately provide our ancestors with knowledge of this era centuries down the line.

It's good, but I can't be damned to listen to a 4+ hour long album.

No one would care for this album if not for some Italian pedo
I fucking hate Scaruffi drones

I really like Tonemonicon but I can't shake the feeling that this music is just really easy to make and that the dude has a formula worked out for it
Either that or he has been stockpiling his music

1. Actually listen through all three of his records all the way.
2. Open up DAW and try to make it yourself.
See how that goes. It's not like ambitious electronic artists don't exist. Autechre released AE_Live and Elseq with a two year period as well, with both also being around four hours long and even more intricate than Impossible Nothing's stuff.
Also, Lexemenomicon all the way for me. It's got the most complicated microtonal type stuff happening of the three. Tone might be my least favorite as it's the simplest of the three.

2 hours is usually a bit of a stretch even. I was wary of Joanna Newsom at first when I saw how long Have One On Me was, so to see that this is 4 hours of music is a bit daunting. I'm sure I'll listen through most of it eventually though

what did it pioneer?
fanatical devotion to ten minute songs?
let's face it, it's just well-done hodge-podge

I get the feeling that this sentiment is really prevalent here. Can I ask why? I get that the guy can come off as pretentious sometimes, but I usually find myself at least understanding his reasoning for his ratings, as he tends to give decent context for his ideas

I still can't understand how a 80 years old Italian man can stumble on a release like this one and realize it's a masterpiece.

A friend emailed him a spelling correction for the Ween page (he had it listed as God Weed Satan for some reason) and got a response on like a day and a half.

what a stupid post even if this is copypasta. you haven't even said anything about what makes this album good. i listened to the first 30 minutes or so and then stopped because it sounded like unexciting soundcloud beats and i sure as hell wasn't going to sit through another 3 and a half hours.
how about you try to back up your assertion instead of coming off as a pretentious sensationalist
>b-but it's postmodern
so is basically every bandcamp and soundcloud release. so what?
>>
>>73613452
if you think this sounds like everything on soundcloud or bandcamp you are a fukkin retard
>>
>>73613452
>soundcloud beats
opinion discarded, the production value for Impossible Nothing is off the charts compared to almost every soundcloud beatmaker ever.
