Scott - you have to scroll down a bit and uncheck the box in 'additional options' called 'automatically parse links in text'...it's a pain in the arse

Only given this a couple of listens but I really liked it...I'm a relative Hype Williams Novice but been really intrigued by it lately. What's a good starting point?

Best to go from One Nation, then the Untitled debut on Carnivals they did I think, then start filling in blanks with their stream of side releases.
They got an absolute shit tonne of stuff though, i sent You my collection recently when he asked for some stuff and it was a nightmare finding a free way to transfer 1gb+ of music.

Barmy considering they've only existed properly for a couple of years

Thanks for the pro tip secondline.
I agree with everyone here, the albums. One nation was a favourite of last year for sure. Often the side releases are revised editions of other side releases and the like. Narcissist 2 is the first CDr with an additional intro and extended by 12 minutes of new material for example. If you can get hold of it, Inga copeland's untitled 12" is pretty good. You can hear bits on youtube:

It's great to me that, as fast as things spread across the internet these days, Hype Williams releases can sneak out until sold out before most people even realise. I can't get enough of their dream-like, nostalgic sound.

Ah, I forgot everyone on here is a journalist. There's some nice tracks on that guardian bundle though, like the AMIR voc mix track especially!

So is rap a big influence? "I hate it. (What's the Story) Morning Glory is the best album ever. That's what I listen to day in day out. Inga can vouch for that – when she's staying over in Lisbon that's all she hears. 'Turn that guitar shit off!' So no, I hate hip-hop. I'm not joking." You don't listen to anything else but Oasis? "I like repetition. You know how Steve Jobs wore that same polo neck? I listen to the same album." This feels like crying wolf again, but he really seems genuine.

The group fulfill many of the metrosexual cosmopolitan fantasies of middle aged hipsters. They lurk in trendy cultural capitals, one transcended boxing for white geek low-fi, the other the eastern bloc, coming together to ratify the multicultural sensibilities of the general population of Pitchfork readership.

They quench the thirst for more audio American Apparel, giving legions of their drainpipe trousered, thick blackframed glasses wearing loosely banged hairstyle dropping fans the opportunity to nod along with songs called 'black is beautiful' without having to look ridiculous listening to rap ever again.
