"I'm a Big Sister..." thread.

so... what do we think?

it's an incredibly lush release. i asked earlier how things can get more chilled after PFE in slight disbelief, and this is how that's done. talking about an ambient underworld album a couple years back too.. seems to have finally yielded itself in the form of this 30 minute release.

routinely calm for an unusual 5 minutes, then it just dives into full involvment. pretty exhilirating, and it pulls back again as if it never happened. pulsates in some of riverrun's warmest parts. every element used as a rhythm to make it a smooth block of sound. lots of spoken bits throughout, and a little bit of recycling from other songs. 'wedge' (i believe it's called) is one of karl's finest moments. also fairly large surprise at the end, music-wise.

it doesn't disappoint, let's say... or understate. at least on par with previous riverruns.

One word. Sublime.

s'nice

thanks for the early delivery

[Bargo]

Best of the three, in my opinion. Absolutely loving every track, though I can't pick a favourite just yet. This is exactly what I needed to hear right now.

Hmm.

"Ansum Part 3"

I need to listen to it in my car, its easier to feel the 'power' behind ambient tracks when your driving.

Right now, its not something i will listen too time and time again...

I guess i do appreciate the ambient Underworld, but not for 30 minutes.. im sorry to say this but i just find parts of it boring!

Strangley, its JAL that remains my fav RRP track - i think mainly because of its lyrical quality, but also its energy and rythym...

Mmm... i love it. Just love it. Beautiful. And the "early delivery" is soooo nice...

[dubman]

early deivery is fine, but that means i'm a couple hours behind schedule today due to this bag of awesome, which screws the rest of todays events for me.
but...ah, i'll live

Perfect Night-Driving-Music........
Peach Tree is my pick for this batch.......the way "11 hundred hz." blends into it reminds me of "Please Help Me".
For all those wishing for something a little more uptempo, keep in mind that standard releasing may have not permitted this side of U/W to be shown.....
The piano piece at the end is simply beautiful......
Now, back to listening........

After the second listen, I'm a lot more positive. At first, I found it a bit boring, but it is actually really good, especially the first part. I hope Peach Tree gets a proper release. But the slideshow is definitely not my cup of coffee.
Pizza for Eggs is still my favourite, probably followed by Big Sister

Noticed that some of the spoken stuff said on this release was played just before the "Heal all bodies track" on the dityradio broadcast.

I cant get the slideshow on to iTunes any hints on getting it on there and how to get it in on to an iPod [never done it before] Actually, i cant get it to work at all. Help!
