Waiting on my Postman

[abs]

wow, some amazing tunes on here, some of them are a bit too all over the place but hey, great work starkey, it's cool that it sounds quite different from the first album aswell, would have been shit to hear the same music recycled.

[saha]

Waiting on my Postman

oh yes, wait a minute mister postman.

anyway, similar story here...

Waiting on my Postman

I guess I'll probably have to wait a while because of that damn volcano

Fidelio is the one stand-out track for me.

A lot of 'good tunes' on here, deffo worth a cop as background music in the car or a summer night, but I'm missing the big tunes here.
I'm missing the Knob Twidlers and Rain Cities. But it's very consistent and I listened all the way thru on the first few spins.
I'd give it a 7.5/10

Except for Fidelio, which obviously get's a 13.7/10.

thanks for your input. appreciate that.

i don't think the long player format really lends itself to "big" dj tunes. they seem out of place tbh. that's part of the reason why those tunes were released as singles. there are some tunes that work in the club on this album, i've played most of them out and so have others, but that's not what it's meant to do imo. it's meant to be more a cohesive listen from start to finish. something that has replay value. "singles" get boring... drops get boring.

Really like this album

Neck Snap is killer

[e_o]

One of the best album in future bass music
Love it Play it Rewind it

[Dark Reign]

Really Good

[jaydot]

Might make it my first proper Dubstep album purchase, some good tracks on there. Like Fourth Dimension and the last one Fidelio.

[seckle]

11th hour is growing on me too.

Great record Starkey. This could be Planet Mu's best year yet. So many great albums already/ coming soon

Yeah, I understand that very well. Don't get me wrong, it shouldn't all be about anthem bashing. For me your full length achieves most if not all of the objectives a full length should set out to achieve. Again it's very consistent and lends itself to numerous occasions OUTSIDE of the big party dancefloor.
But when I heard that final track, I wished for some more uplifting, swooping (is that even a word?) moments within the flow of the rest of the album. I'm just me in the end and I have to admit I'm not into the whole full length thing just yet (I have the same problem with Ikonika's album).
See you at untitled! in antwerp, looking very much forward to it!

[sashwat]

yes... Biggguppp!!! East side represent

[jimitheexploder]

Got my copy today, really feeling it so far.

P-Money kills it on Numb and I've already pulled up Fourth Dimension 3 times.

Feeling Starkbot in Autotune mode too.

Big up.

[1017_duck]

yep, feeling everything about this album. can't really name a favorite tune, as they're all fiya.
