Urgh

Best song on here is definitely disclosure - control.

I was more into this deep house-not-really deep house comp at the time

Was into Let's Go Back (Cause & Affect Remix) off that addicted to bass comp though - jackin house.

The rest of the bass stuff on there sounded awful to me at the time, can't imagine it sounds much better now.

A proper dogs dinner of skrillexy wobble dubstep, stadium house and jump up drum n bass.

I assign you the job of listening to it from start to finish. Report back to The Lads and tell us what you have learned.

 

[Benny Bunter]

What have I done to deserve this?

 

[boxedjoy]

disclosure - control

this is really good in a way that nothing else they've ever done has come close to but I think that's all down to the vocalist more than anything

this is great in a bosh poptimist way, it is quite clearly not deep house though

They had a nice little run - control, white noise and the remix of jessie ware Running. All over by the time the 1st album came out for me though.

I remember they inspired a lot of hatred at the time from people who were into post dubstep, so I felt inclined to defend them.

 

[boxedjoy]

that vocal on White Noise upsets me, the glottal stops are distractingly inconsistent

 

[Benny Bunter]

I'm gonna have to listen to it again to see what you're on about tbh

 

[Benny Bunter]

You mean static/automa'ic right?

 

[boxedjoy]

Exactly. Why can't Alunahen pronounce the letter t

 

[Benny Bunter]

That is quite annoying now you've pointed it out to me. Cheers.

ohhh mate that and annual 2011 I think were the most groundbreaking stuff I've stumbled upon in my life until Mary Anne Hobbs' compilations

One of my legit guilty pleasures is Latch by Disclosure.

When Disclosure hit big was one of the first times I really became aware of not being young anymore. I was about 30 I think and I suddenly became aware of this whole generation who were into house music, had the same haircuts and clothes. Luka did a thread about them, the Rinse FM Pop generation. I was still just about young enough to join in on the sidelines. Now I've got absolutely no business inveigling myself in the hip new scene.
