    Reframing

    This has come up a few times now, most recently in the cartoon physics thread, and it's something that really hit me after reading third and mvuent's comments on Autechre, particularly mvuent's suggestion when listening to Untilted...

    Panning Gems

    Tracks that offer something different when balanced completely to the left or right. Do it through speakers though, doing it through headphones makes you feel jetlagged.

    Hardcore/Darkcore/Jungle with the "sickest, most insane sonics"

    Last night I revisited Woebot's infamous jungle comp blog. Here's what he has to say about Reinforced's The Definition of Hardcore: "The search for the sickest, most insane sonics had pushed the crews into new territories. At this point it really does make sense to compare Hardcore to the...
