2:59 I feel that so much
i really dislike "strings = epic" in many popular modern rock songs. It just urkes me so much the wrong way. You making me curious about that album if it does orchestration right
this reminded me I should listen to Spirit of Eden again
same here :)
Followed by laughing stock
SoE > LS > Mark Hollis is the perfect triptych.
@@eatthem5829 Laughing Stock is one of my all time favorites, timeless masterpiece
I really love spirit of eden:)
My essential #1 album
I will check this out Oli, but what has left me speechless is your recommendation of The Caretaker......it really needs a video along with William Basiniski The Disintegration Loops I-IV
Thanks Keith, Caretaker video coming relatively soon!
deep cuts and perhaps William Basiniski at some point as Keith mentioned? Just a friendly suggestion. By the way, it feels damn good to get some content back from you. Unparalleled on this platform.
@@deepcuts
Thank you Oli
Could the proceeds of your video, if your patrons agree, go towards Alzheimer's Society, because the more these LP's are in the public imagination, the more we can fight this cruel disease.
Am I really the only one who didn't like The Disintegration Loops? I'm really into ambient/minimalist/experimental shit, but I found TDL too boring, gimmicky and repetitive. I only say this because it's such a well loved album that I feel like I'm the one not seeing something here.
@@franciscofarias6385 well it’s supposed to be gimmicky and repetitive
I like Hidden more but all of their albums are great.
On your first essentials video you mentioned you'd avoid some of the more "obvious" essential albums. Have you thought of making a video briefly mentioning those albums? Maybe a short list of "classics" or something like that.
Ordered it plus Hidden after you mentioned it on your Best of the Decade. Hooked is an understatement.
I don't really get this album, but listening to you talk about one of your favorite albums is so enjyoable that i couldn't help but give it a second try
Same I’ve listened to it like 5 times and I’m really not seeing the hype Oliver has for this album. :/ Does make me happy to see him so excited about a record tho
@@samescourt3801 agreed.
It’s fantastic! There last album was my fave of 2019.
needs at least 20 listens through whole treated like one song. it will then start unfolding for you getting better and better for all of eternity
It’s because it’s just above average
About 99% of the time i don’t care to listen to this album but 1% of the time I think it’s a masterpiece. For me, ‘the dream my bones dream’ by Eiko Ishibashi is very reminiscent of this. Also great (1% of time).
Happy new year! Glad to see you back again. Time to grab some popcorn.
I've been perusing through tnp's discography over the past few years, but I have to say their newest release Inside the Rose is the one that resonated with me the most. I feel like Field of Reeds kind of goes over my head a bit.
ThePersonNetwork TNP = The Needle Prop? TheNersonPetwork?
@@oozePOP That's very clever, wow. Good job.
thank
This album is pretty great thanks for giving it this level of attention. Also have you considered a guide to Phil Elverum I think that’d be really cool
ye the Indieheads podcast started doing an in depth dive into Elverum if you want to check that out. It’ll take a while for them to finish it but the two episodes that are out are pretty good
@@diamorales8511 oh I'll have to check that out thanks so much!
We'll I'll revisit it now Oli. Cheers!
I found it years back searching for anything Sutton had touched but admitted only heard it once or twice.
Join the LP tomorrow Mars ❤️
This album is severely underrated. Definitely one of my favourites of the decade as well.
Field of Reeds is one of my fav albums of all time. It’s such a polarizing piece of work that for some grabs you and rips out your heart and for others it does absolutely nothing. It never ceases to blow my mind how this album isn’t up there with an album like Kid A. Always nice to meet another TNP convert. ❤️
It's weird. These guys generally get critical acclaim when they come out with a record and then just get forgotten about. I can see how people might not feel their music though. I have been meh about all of their albums on first listen, only liking a couple of the tracks, but then I kept feeling like revisiting them until I got blown away eventually. It's weird, it has only happened to me with Talk Talk's last 2 albums otherwise.
The song "Spiral" is a fucking masterpiece
Every one of those 340 likes is well-deserved. Nice work.
Plus.... "fricative" use in the video is laudable.
so why have i never heard of this? Fantano never even reviewed it
I don't know whether to laugh at this comment or cry because of it.
Fantano isn’t a god. He’s a bit shit compared to Deep Cuts.
Probably a joke to be fair
Fantano didn´t review it because it didn´t have trap beats
fantanos a pretentious joker with an unearned chip on his shoulder.
My partner walked in on me listening to this and she said “what is this? It sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock soundtrack with someone whining over the top of it.” I might have to give it another try at a later date.
Wow this is also my fave of the 2010s. Just behind Goat's World Music and The Go! Team's Semi Circle. With the s/t Embrace album and Shirley Collins Lodestar rounding out the top 5.
I respect it and it's certainly an interesting #1 choice, but I never got it to click. After having really dug Hidden, it was just a bit too much of a slow burn for me.
I might improve my english quite a bit listening to you :D what are these adjectives?!
In between the islands where we used to swim
to that place I am on my way
I am on my way
I swam towards your ship
I honestly can’t thank you enough for introducing me to this album, I have been listening to it several times every day for the last week and I am completely obsessed with it! I’d have to say V (Island Song) and Organ Eternal are definitely my favourites. Also it’s funny you should mention Talk Talk as I just discovered Laughing Stock at the same time so both albums will probably always be connected for me.
Another detail and elaboration on the Talk Talk - TNP connection: Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock engineer Phill Brown worked on Field of Reeds
This album made me cry at work. Thank you.
Thank you for showing me this album, i find it absolutely amazing.
I need the next Miles Davis Guide part as soon as possible
Essential indeed! The title track at the very end took my breath away. I can’t get enough of this record. The first time I heard it I didn’t quite understand how to let it into my heart, but I’d you just pay attention, it sneaks in and melts you completely and you surrender to it. So beautiful.
great review, thank you!
So glad you consider this album your best album of the decade. Honestly i think the same. Is such a pity that this band and this album is kinda criminally underrated especially in the U.S:
This must be the most compositionally innovative popular music record of the last decade, and I'm a composition guy so it might just be my favourite. Thank you for introducing me to this brilliant and unique record
The man is a fucking walking thesaurus.
Sorry Oliver but this was mid
I really liked the album, although it did not blow me away in terms of uniqueness. Many of the songs are definitely influenced by Robert Wyatt, but I can't say there are many artists who I can compare to Robert Wyatt, so that's a big positive.
It's so cool that you seem to love this album as much as I do. I found it around the time of its release -- the cover art looked neat and I had some spare time so I gave it a shot -- and it didn't take long for me to feel confident placing it among my all time favourite albums. I've always felt like it didn't get the attention it deserved, so it's great to see so many people discovering it now thanks to you. I'm currently thinking it's at #2 on my personal decade list, behind Ravedeath, 1972.
Definitely in my top 5 of the decade.
Fragment Two is an absolutely perfect song. I mean, they all are, but you know what I’m saying.
I hadn't listened to this before, but it really reminds me of a chilled out version of some of Kayo Dot's stuff. That I love, very much.
Great video, super quality content
This record is aces. Thank you for putting it on your list.
I never want the main musical motif of Organ Eternal to ever end.
I didn't really click with this album sadly, the same way I don't click with Talk Talk either.. I don't know why I don't enjoy listening to those albums, I certainly appreciate and respect them, but they just don't stick with me sadly.. I will say however, ORGAN ETERNAL is absolutely beautiful, I wish that wasn't the only song that I loved and truly moved me! After reviewing some of the comments, I am going to check out the album Hidden and maybe I'll have better luck with that! :) Awesome video, also, I love love love Hex - Bark Psychosis ! Thanks for mentioning it and as always thanks Oliver for being kewll 8)
I visited a show of theirs in 2019 for their "inside the rose" album. It was a good live show and very energetic performance of theirs in a small venue with relatively few visitors. The crowd was not very good and I felt like Jack personally hated me for not dancing and being exactly behind the crowd (I am very tall and had a bad year back then so I didn'T get into it). Besides that, watch them life if you can.
Good stuff
Happy to be the 22,000th view of this fine review of a fine, fine album.
Normally find it quite hard to form an opinion on any music on the first listen, but Field Of Reeds immediately resonated with me.
Great feeling when you discover something amazing you could have otherwise missed out on.
Great to have you back Oliver, cheers!
Thank you, Oliver. Great video as always. I love all of their albums. It may be more appropriate to say that I love the way they approach music and music-making in general. Everyone has their own preferences (one commentator wrote that he preferred "Hidden", for instance). As much as I think "Field of Reeds" is a masterpiece, I think I enjoy listening to their latest album "Inside The Rose" even more, maybe because each song feels more "concise" in a way. "Field of Reeds" feels like one single piece of music for me, like a sort of symphony in several movements. This is a band that really creates something NEW today. Essential listening for any curious ear and mind.
Didn't realise you were another man of kent! Glad to see some people in our county have decent taste in music.
By the way, what was your opinion on Swans' Leaving Meaning?
Thank you for this recommendation! Since your albums of the decade list I’ve listened to this album around 15 times and it’s now one of my all time favorites!
It took a few listens, but this album is truly incredible. Probably the most soul crushing record of the 2010s.
The slow build to the overlapping vocals in Light in Your Name is just mind blowing. It's like a nightmare your reluctant to leave. Happy your back Oliver!
I'd be interested to see your hosono guide. Realize now I should look and see if you already did one before I suggest but nah
Worth mentioning that Elisa Rodrigues' new album from last year is wonderful.
Can you review the new Aphex release? The Peel session. I really like it. Love the channel. Look forward to more vids.
Okay, it took me four months and a number of listens but I finally got it. Thanks Oliver
this album holds a sentimental place in my memory for what was going on around me at the time. i remember being disappointed by it because it was so different from their previous album but in a way it marked a turning point for me. thanks for the review!
Thanks, Oliver, for turning me onto this album! Really not in my wheelhouse, but a pure joy to listen to!
I´ve heard their name over and over during the 2010´s but I was never realy interested in listening. This video changed that. I´ll listen when I have a moment!
Thanks Oliver, I'll definitely check it out!
omg thanks for bringing up this album, it's amazing and so underrated
can u make on your music gear, and how u listen to album, and disect it?
Beat Pyramid for me though... ;-)
I was gonna watch this, but decided to just listen to the album again instead
allright, allright allright... point made, i'll give it a spin.. jesus.. pfff..
(love your channel man, and the way you talk about an album, so eloquent. It's wonderful to listen to you. thank you.
COUGHguidetotortoiseCOUGH.. excuse me..
yo tortoise? That's dope yo
Bless yer soul, Oliver
You look like a member of TNP haha
Thank you for the great find!
Music to grind your teeth to.
dab
Ok fine I'll listen to it
No dislikes
Yeasssss 🌞
This is the telling off I needed to listen to this *whispers* and Laughing Stock...
2nd :p
If I could I would start a fire every time I watched one of your videos
uwu
UuU
I listened to Field of Reeds after you spoke so favourably of it in your top fifty albums of the decade video.
After enduring three tracks I had to switch to something else because it was wholly insufferable garbage.
My ears deserve better than that.
It has occurred to me that you have a particular fondness for records that are experimental. One's that contain disparate elements and unusual rhythms, harmonies and timbres as well as the effort and study invested in an album.
But just like all genre's of music just because something is experimental/abstract doesn't necessarily make it good.
You don’t get it lol
geez you truly are the definition of pretentious. your ears deserve better? who tf you think you are bro?😆
I can understand if you didn't like it: some people find it exciting to discover music that resemblance absolutely nothing they've ever heard before while some other people are scared of novelties and prefer their music rather simple and predictable.
can't blame you for neither of them.
It felt like a chore listening to it 2 or 3 times, i think is a type of record you have to be in a specific mood for, kinda like Oneohtrix Point Never. It could be just me
