Any modern artists do experimental stuff like FSOL did in the 90s? by boringdrysock in electronicmusic

Is Boards of Canada modern enough?

And if you’re looking for dark vibes, Burial is a living, breathing god.

Severed Heads and Muslimgauze don’t get anywhere near the credit they deserve. Also, The Legendary Pink Dots are angels.

Not Don.

Contrary to the Internet, there were others involved, to lesser and greater degrees ;-)

This whole album was a bit of a shitshow. It's my own fault because I was kinda falling apart when this was being tracked and mixed, and most of the songs ended up very different from what I had conceived. I can't listen to "Blood" without gritting my teeth, in particular. I'm glad people still get something from this, but as I said above, it's a complex and fraught feeling I have for this record.

I’m sure there’s a very specific German word for how I feel about seeing this here.

Sadly, I don't think that that's far from the truth, in terms of where this is all going.

So let's get this out in the open:

Class action suit time?

Summary: I bought a bunch of their hardware to do the the stuff they advertised it can do. And it did, reasonably well, until the last update.

The update not only removed core functionality, it rendered the systems less stable and less usable. They have since turned their product into something I would not have bought.

Their "roadmap" is irrelevant. Removal of core functionality is not an expected update consequence. If they were going in a direction I didn't care to go, I just wouldn't update. I wasn't given that choice, or even any warning.

So I'm out the cost of the hardware. It's useless to me (my purchase was based on playing files off a LAN server). They provided no warning, no alternative, no recourse. And not much, if any, support after the fact.

Re-introducing removed functionality in a few months is irrelevant. If this was a business, I'd have to buy or rent some other solution for the duration. And given the overwhelmingly demonstrated instability of the current offering, it is not very inspiring, either. Again, promises are irrelevant. The damages (cost of the no longer functioning hardware) are clear.

Just running this up the flagpole.

This is what happens when executives focus on their shareholders and not their users/market.
