It's remarkably different from anything they put out before.  Check out their recent remix work; it's very similar in style to the campfire headphase.  Specifically, their remixes for Beck (Broken Drum), Boom Bip (Last Walk Around Mirror Lake), and cLOUDDEAD (Dead Dogs Two).  There are actually guitars on this album!  Also, it's more 'chill-out' than anything else they've ever done.  There are lots of half-heard distorted voices again, but the context tells me they're probably not talking about satan this time.  In terms of complexity, it's somewhere between Geogaddi and Music Has the Right to Children.  Lots of tape fuzz and some of the smoothest synths I've ever heard.  It's worth the time to hunt down Japan-only bonus track, too (it's called Macquarie Ridge).

Also, check out Caribou's The Milk of Human Kindness, I view it as kind of a companion album to The Campfire Headphase.

Also, Helm: rock on!  Have you checked out Andrew Plotkin's stuff at all?  It's great.  So is Adam Cadre's.

not familiar with either, no. But I will look into. May I in turn, suggest that you listen to COH and Arovane?

To be sure, Andrew Plotkin and Adam Cadre are IF writers (Plotkin in particular is a god among men, IF-wise).  Shade by Plotkin and Shrapnel by Cadre are quick, relatively quick and easy, but are immensely clever and mess with your head in a really good way.  Start with those.

And as long as we're ticking off the list of creators of nostalgic electronic music, I'll add Freescha, Casino Vs. Japan, Manitoba (caribou's original alias), Marumari, and Plone to the mix.  I haven't heard much of Plone, but the rest of them are really good.

And, completely unrelated: this is beautiful.

Quote bothesucker: a damn humanity to eternal pain because i didnt know of that unquote

Now i'm here, and i hope this place is here to stay. Good luck to Benuel too, i remember you :) You're the dude who told me about Consoleclassix, amongst other things. Well, I'd better get pixeling!!!!

And what are those lots of strange icons on this forum, flash, email, font, formatting, sub&sup, well some look like sudoku.
