Here we have the most fully-realized work of music this decade (though very young) has yet to see. This master-stroke of an album was apparently in the works for over a year before the three brave intellectuals who produced it finally landed on a take they found perfect enough to release. The 45 minute composition (recorded completely live with no overdubs) "Hey Jude" contains all the best elements of EAI, spectral composition, and PB&J, thus introducing a completely new immaculate genre: IEA (Industrial Elephant Anthems). Detractors have noted the uncanny similarities to Wagner's Ring Cycle, though anyone who truly dissects this music will find that Wagner is obviously inferior. Instead Not for the Faint of Dick is the kind of logical progression from Vampire Weekend's debut that Contra failed to be. Download it now, and you probably won't be disappointed.

Alright then.
I (one of the artists who recorded for this Half-Pair album last friday) also recorded, yesterday, a different album. The idea for the album was that i would record it in it's entirety without listening to any of it until it was complete. There were no acoustic instruments or live sounds captured, only direct input instruments played blindly without speakers or studio monitors. The album is one hour long and is unedited. I used an MPC, turntable, vinyl, small keyboard, and a mixer with built in effects as instruments. if anybody is interested in listening contact me (skrbi1ja@cmich.edu). also i'll probably post a link in these comments soon.
nice post. thanks.
The session lasted exactly one hour and is presented here unedited and with no overdubs. The samples played by the MPC i have heard before i recorded this album but i did not know which samples were playing or how they were being played. They were played with random selection, random rhythms, random tempos, random equalization, random effects, random pre amplification, random panning, and random volumes.
Overall it's pretty interesting. There is a pretty boring part that lasts a bit too long somewhere in the middle that is very repetitive, other than that it was interesting for me to listen to because it came out nothing like i expected and some of the sounds that came out i didn't even know i could make. I hope you like it. Please tell me what you think, good or bad.

that blurry guy on the left is such a spammer.
wow, he really is a spammer.
I deleted two comments. It is ok if you think it sucks, but it is not okay to reply to yourself two minutes later to agree that it sucks.
I actually really enjoyed this album and have listened to it a few times now.
There is a freeness of spirit (almost Dadaist in a sense?) in this record that I don't remember hearing in quite a while. The "seriousness" of the avant-garde is thrown out the window and the result is actually a very playful musical composition stripped of its stereotypical intellectualism.
I would definitely enjoy hearing more. Keep us updated.
Thanks.
