I ruddy love this album. It's such a banger.

Odlican cil

A classic and very great electronic jam, worth listening to again!

love this album. The samples and electronics work on every track. My favourite is frontier psychiatrist, banger

This goes on too long and is really quite boring. Frontier Psychiatrist is a great tune, always was, but here it gets drowned by the sameyness going on all around it. This album mainly just made me want to listen to the songs it has sampled.

Not really my taste, it has some of its moments like "Since I Left You" to "Two Hearts In 3/4 Time" and the 11th track "Frontier Psychiatrist" which was my personal favorite on the album. Overall this album was a 5/10 for me, it tries to be meaningful, but most of the time it sounds disturbing.

Très riche musicalement Homogène malgré la présence de différents styles Trés bon jeu de samples Excellentes transitions Une ambiance générale se dégage de l'album Seul bémol : aucun titre ne ressort l'album est un tout qui s'écoute d'une traite

This just sounds like music I'd hear at a resort inbetween the hourly playing of Despacito.

Didn’t finish the album, wasn’t bad just not my cup of tea.

I wanted to like it, i respect the early DJs, just too busy for me.

Very vibey. Sounds like stoned on the couch music

Electronically, dance/club music. I can see the appeal not my type of music though.

Good melodic background music. Didn't really tune into it fully but enjoyed it - A good listen whilst working

Hissimusiikkiia, ei hyvää eikä huonoo

Much messier than I remember

I feel like this should be more appealing to me than it is. Maybe it's that I'm not quite 100% today, but the electronic, dancy vibe just didn't do it for me. I'd be willing to give it another chance, so for now it's getting a really weak 3 stars.

meh too spacey

Ein Live-Album... und ich höre Rap... kann es schlimmer anfangen? Nach dem der miserable Start die Messlatte sehr niedrig angesetzt hatte, war das Album gar nich so schrecklich. Eher EDM à la Bonobo. Gerappt wurde gar nicht so oft oder der Beat und die Musik haben mich gut davon abgelenkt, sodass ich ihn streckenweise vergessen hatte. Aber genug gelobt. Hören werde ich die Platte eher nicht, einfach weil ich für den Genre oder die Stimmung, welche das auch immer sein mag, schon genug Alternativen habe.

I can dig this. Makes me want to drink weird cocktails- for some reason they're all the color of campari. This album transcends the genre of electronic music as I have consumed it during my life, ranging from piano laden jazzy lofi, to trance-ish tunes by the end of the record. The constant sampling is reminiscent of Bonobo and Nightmares on Wax.

Nice transitions

A lot of feel good tracks. Would listen again.

Very interesting album, with a beautiful design, but I just don't care for the music

Vrij elektronisch experimenteel, soms wel paar toffere zweverige plaatjes.

Love this. So happy all the way through, puts a big smile on my face

I feel like one would need a belly full of E to really jam to this album. It's poppy without being catchy, edgy without being cool, eclectic without being interesting. It feels like some kids who were big fans of The Crystal Method tried their hands at something similar but missed the mark. It listens like a "nailed it" meme. The only thing saving this from a one-star review is the production being top-notch and because the track "Frontier Psychiatrist" is actually a really fun track for being a giant, jumbled sample-salad. It's about a minute too long but it's fun nonetheless.

I’m a big fan of the hits off of this album but it tends to drone on when listening to the whole thing

6.5/10 FT: Since I left you

Since I Left You makes up for its lack of obvious stand out tracks with impeccably perfect song transitions, catchy rhythms that are equally great for daydreaming as they are partying, and eclectic sample choices which give it that weird mysterious edge. Within these songs is a creative world, barely out of reach, with life and texture. It's like musical cinema or a gripping book. It's not perfect but it's worth getting lost in its suspense, romance, and overall joie de vivre. A worthy classic imo. Probably most appealing to EDM fans or very nerdy hip-hop fans as it has that DJ Shadow feeling.

Amazing sample usage, reminds me of Endtroducing... Standout Tracks: Since I Left You, Two Hearts In 3/4 Time, Close To You, A Different Feeling, Electricity, Tonight May Have To Last Me All My Life, Frontier Psychiatrist, Live At Dominoes

love this album - need to listen to whole thing again
