Ouch! Tell us how you really feel!

imho, it doesn't seem any more pretentious than any other output they've done. They're obviously proud of OWB and this phase of their output, so they're quite entitled and in the right to release this. Like all art, if you don't "get it" it's easy to call it pretentious.
I mean, you could make a case that bloating "dark and Long" EP with 20+ minute self-indulgent remixes is pretentious. And the artwork of STITI? Child's fingerpaint.


Of course i'm kidding on those.

Agree, most of the remixes are mediocre or maybe just not my cup of tea, and since their not UW productions, i'm not that interested in missing out. But having the videos is great, and a clean copy of Parc, yay!
(by the way, can anyone confirm if "Parc" is really based on the live recording of "darc" from amsterdam? Or is it a new studio recording?)

To each their own, i guess.
