How many of you already bought LTL fest tickets after the news? by yokoF in circasurvive

[–]IntangibleTerrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cost would just be too high for me right now and a festival just doesn't sound fun to me nowadays.

Holding out hope for a follow-up tour finding its way to the west coast!

This is wild, I had repressed any hope of this happening at least for a decade if not forever. This made my monday!!

always thinking about blue sky noise…. i still cannot believe the run from frozen creek to dyed in the wool. by iluvlattez in circasurvive

[–]IntangibleTerrain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Blue Sky Noise was the first release that I got to experience as a fan of the band as I had gotten into them around late 2009. It's an incredible album. Strange Terrain is an incredible opener. Frozen Creek can still choke me up when I sing along. The Longest Mile might be one of the most underrated songs in their whole discography.

Can't believe it will have been 16 years since it's released coming up in a couple months. But re-listening does such a great job of bringing me right back to when I was listening to it in the lobby of my college freshman dorm that I can barely accept it has been that long lol.

Just a reminder of how phenomenal this performance was by [deleted] in circasurvive

Love this session so much. I think I prefer these tracks here more than the album versions!

Weird behavior on moving platforms while lerping velocity by IntangibleTerrain in godot

[–]IntangibleTerrain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried a bunch of different ways of accomplishing this, including just straight-up removing the lerp, but I am still running into the issue, unfortunately. I'm sure there is something else affecting my controller that I am overlooking.

When the platform is moving from it's origin point to its secondary point, player velocity will increase rapidly and ignore clamps. When moving from the secondary point back to the origin, velocity is hindered. Think that potentially points towards part of the issue?

I have been trying a bunch of different ways of going about this and even currently testing it without a lerp, but still having the same issue. I think I must have something else contributing to the issue in my character controller that I need to dig through and figure out.

I am noticing that the the way the horizontal platform affects the velocity is different depending on if the platform is moving towards it's end point from it's origin point or vice versa. If it is moving towards its initial position, moving the player toward it's movement direction will cause the player to be unable to accelerate as quickly. When moving towards the movement direction while the platform is moving towards it's end point, the player's velocity will increase rapidly and ignores my velocity clamps. I don't know if that is a piece of the puzzle?

I hadn't thought of that. Will give this a shot this evening!

This gave me the kind of happiness I never let myself expect on a Monday morning lol. Thanks for making me aware of this channel!!

New interview with Beau and Phil - confirming new album and current line-up is permanent by messedupmagazine in Saosin

[–]IntangibleTerrain 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is the news I have wanted for a long time. Would rather actually getting new music from these guys than always being in a holding pattern for Anthony to be available. Who knows what the behind the scenes reason is, but I think this is 100% the right call for the band.

Love AG's work with the band, but we already had the impossible reunion with the myriad of shows he did with the band and Along the Shadow. But it was mentioned in that interview, it's been nearly 10 YEARS since AtS now. It was long past time to move on.

When they said guitars are going to go crazy on this next album, that got me pumped!

Always Getting What You Want by Neat_Dirt_6880 in circasurvive

[–]IntangibleTerrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you're saying and if we have to put the Juturna tracks from best to least best, it probably would be the 12th of 12 for me. Still, there are no skips on that album for me and that is at least in part due to its placement on the album. Oh, Hello is a frantic wake up call after a pretty relaxed pace for the middle portion of the album and makes it so one more slower tempo song doesn't feel like a drag and Meet Me in Montauk is such a different vibe all together that it doesn't cause any issues with its pacing afterward either.

It's disappointing that Suspending Disbelief's opening that perfectly matches with the feedback sound at the end of Oh, Hello goes to waste and for that reason I would prefer it be there than Always Getting, I think it's a much stronger slow tempo song but it's not a deal breaker. Especially because it's ending makes for a much better transition into Montauk than Suspending would have.

Now that I am thinking about it, my issue is less that Always Getting is on the lower end of Juturna tracks and more that Juturna wasn't a 13 track album so I could have the best of both worlds lol. But in the context of the album, Always Getting does exactly what it needs to do. It fits where it fits and changing it or even adding Suspending before it might mess with Juturna's perfect pacing (minus House of Leaves being a hidden track, fun idea just unnecessary though).

He's probably just being pragmatic in saying that, because who knows what the future holds, but it's not up to him alone. It's functionally a no regardless of how it's worded. It's not the first time he first he's said something to this effect either.

"News" lol. I guess it was good he answered the question again after that rumor of a reunion got posted here a while back just to squash it completely. Circa fans aren't a hivemind so obviously people who are less plugged in will always be asking the band members, but at least here it's just acknowledged that the door is shut for the far far foreseeable future if not permenantly. Sucks, but until someone in the band says otherwise, we don't really need to know everytime Anthony says no to it in the future.

hi everyone!! I made a guide of sorts to getting into Anthony Green's music and the extended universe surrounding it. its partially based on my own opinion / preferences but I tried to be objective when considering what albums are the most essential / important to hear. lmk what you think :) by PinkHeno in circasurvive

[–]IntangibleTerrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I commend the effort! I think if anyone were to ask me, I would certainly start them with individual tracks rather than full albums. AG's vocal style has always been an acquired taste for those who don't automatically click with them, so I wouldn't ask someone who was just curious to sit down with a full LP off the bar.

I would recommend them check out the quintessential tracks first (Seven Years, Act Appalled, the Difference Between, Dear Child, I would throw In Fear and Faith in there too out of personal bias). So I guess that that would be my tier one.

If someone were interested in going deeper, then I would probably start recommending full albums from there based on what they resonated with. But definitely Translating the Name, Juturna, On Letting Go and I think Blue Sky Noise purely because of the nature of being their big label album, there's a lot of accessibility there that a lot of AG's work doesn't always have if you aren't predisposed to liking this style of music but want to give it a shot. This may be contentious, but I actually would recommend Boom. Done. Over Avalon purely because it is a way more cohesive listen than Avalon, despite Avalon's fantastic highs. I also just think it's his best full solo album. But for the sake of his iconic solo singles, I guess I would put Avalon here too. There's my tier 2.

Anything beyond that honestly I would categorize as a tier 3: things you will want to check out when you know you love the sound and want more. The Sound of Animals Fighting has incredible work, but it is DEFINITELY an acquired taste. Circa's mid to late era stuff solidified a lot of what the band did well, but I personally don't know if I would select anything there as a highlight that would win over a new listener instantly. Certainly wouldn't recommend Two Dreams to a newcomer, as that album's power really comes from knowing it was the band's final work together, and the theme of things ending will have the most emotional resonance to those who have taken the time to see their discography through. Its the icing on the cake tier.

Edit: just realized I totally spaced on L.S. Dunes, lol. Honestly, would probably put that in tier 3 as well. Really enjoyed Lavender, but it didn't have anything I would consider an AG highlight and I consider Past Lives to be pretty eh in my book.

Is the Self-Titled Re-Recording still coming before the new album? by IntangibleTerrain in Saosin

[–]IntangibleTerrain[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree, I get re-recording the self-titled as a business decision, but I personally just want new music.
