He reckons he's in some war against people making "normal" music. Hope it spells disaster for him because I'm sick of the bs he dribbles on with in his interviews."If not for Josh Wink, Sasha wouldn't own any Acid except for the paper stuff he dopes chicks with at clubs." - Jenks, 2004

Re: James Holden - The Idiots Are Winning
Yeah it's an album and yeah he looks weird. In fact, he looks like he's been ingesting too many mushrooms.

Re: James Holden - The Idiots Are Winning
Yeah he has some weird insights into music. His DM remixes are damn near undancable. His stuff is just too freaking strange for dancefloors, but the last few dj mixes I've heard from him have been pretty good. His Transitions mix was pretty sweet IMO.Comment

Re: James Holden - The Idiots Are Winning
OK so I had to check this out...
My god this is bad. That's my review. 0/10 for this.
PS: In case my post above set a bad tone in advance for me... I loved Balance, I've loved almost everything to come out of Border Community - I'm not a hater."If not for Josh Wink, Sasha wouldn't own any Acid except for the paper stuff he dopes chicks with at clubs." - Jenks, 2004

Re: James Holden - The Idiots Are Winning
the DM remixes are hot... at least the one that he played in his Kiss 100 mix this year... I love that track. I also enjoyed Lump, however some of the other stuff on that release are crazy sounding...For your aural infusion of Caley:

Re: James Holden - The Idiots Are Winning
Nope, single tracks. They seem to flow together though, when played on iTunes ... but hell, any bleeps would flow together.

Re: James Holden - The Idiots Are Winning
I think it would be delusional to expect Holden to come out with a "dancefloor album" for his 1st artist album.
I haven´t heard it yet but I have made no secret that I consider Holden one of the few true geniuses out there, and I´m certainly not expecting him to "drop bombs" on this one, so I´m ready for anything.
However, I saw him live last 12th October and make no mistake, this guy is an awesome DJ, it was probably the best DJ set I´ve ever seen, sublime is the word that comes to mind, he creates an atmosphere of euphoria, psychedelia and strangeness like no other, hearing Petter´s "Some Polyphony" surrounded by a completely ecstatic dancefloor was one of the most amazing moments of musical communion I´ve ever experienced at a club. Same for Ellen Allien and Apparat´s "Jet".
And "A Break In The Clouds" will always be one of the most defining anthems in dance music history for meComment

Worse than the Nathan Fake album.
Far from a genius IMO.Comment
