Albums with glitchy and cool 'layers'

[SilverWings]

This may sound like a weird thing to say, but one thing I love in music is when a band incorporates 'glitchy' or just background noise in a song, especially when it's transitioning to the next track.

e.g. on Relationship of Command, at the end of Enfilade you can very faintly make out some man's voice just before Rolodex Propoganda opens up. Or on OK Computer, the way Fitter Happier blends into Electioneering... amazing.

I know a lot of bands do this nowdays, but does anyone have any cool examples to share??

Aphex Twin - Richard D. Album James Album.

[SilverWings]

I was thinking of more subtle uses, not so much an album entirely composed of them haha. Although thanks for saying that, that album sounds cool as corn.

[chipdip18]

No problem. I'd suggest listening to it.

Umm, I'm not particularly sure what you're exactly looking for but the first thing that came to mind was Electric President.

[voncorn]

Look no further than Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero

PlayRadioPlay - Sombrero Negro :-)

[syntax omitted]

a lot of Come Now, Sleep by As Cities Burn

[SilverWings]

PlayRadioPlay - Sombrero Negro :-)Heard those guys suck, you have awful taste!

[the andyspecial]

you've probably heard it, but TREOS - between the heart and the synapse. brilliant album

[fly_guy]

yes. Such a good album

I heard that they're a bunch of douche bags that poop on each other, à la FTSK, but perhaps I'm just getting rumors crossed.

m83 - self titled

actually, all their albums are amazing. except saturdays = youth. that was a disappointment.

[Birdflu777]

I was thinking more The Fragile. But good choice.

[Yellowcard2006]

The end of "Rite of Spring" by Angels & Airwaves

The end of" Play Crack the Sky" by Brand New

The end of "Reinventing the Wheel..." by Fall Out Boy

That's all I can think of right now.

[drewinseries]

Treos

[Kurt Retenauer]

The Early November- Ever So Sweet into Something That Produces Results, into A Mountain Range In My Living Room, into Sesame Smeshame. But, in essence, all of "The Room's Too Cold" by TEN does this. The first 5 tracks however, do it best.

[Kurt Retenauer]

Also, waiting for someone to name drop Girl Talk, as he is comprised entirely of glitch and layers.

[Burn That Shit]

you've probably heard it, but TREOS - between the heart and the synapse. brilliant album

Oh yeah, real visionaries. :rolleyes:

[Un'Aria Ancora]

better than most records named in this thread, except for Mum, that's such a great one.

Ace Enders is just incredible.

what was wrong with saturdays=youth?

[ship of fools]

Lydia-Illuminate. The way the songs transition to the next is flawless.

[TriangularDuck]

For guitar-influenced music without diving straight into glitch...

The Receiving End of Sirens. Both albums.
Adebisi Shank - This Is An Album of the Band called Adebisi Shank
Battles - Mirrored
Showbread - Anorexia/Nervosa
Pure Reason Revolution - Amor Vincit Omnia
65daysofstatic - The Fall of Math

also between the heart and the synapse is easily one of the best releases of the decade.

[TriangularDuck]

what was wrong with saturdays=youth?

sadurdays=youth is a great album, but I could easily see someone disappointed with it who's been a fan for a few albums before, the music took on a much more poppy bent that some fans resent. if all you've heard is saturdays=youth, you owe it to yourself to at least hear "before the dawn heals us." the track "car crash terror" is astoundingly good.

[CalRahhh]

The end of "Ice Monster" transitioning into 'Knights" on Minus The Bear's Planet of Ice is the first thing that comments to mind. So awesome.

i have everything they've released (to my knowledge). I know that it is different than their early releases but I didn't see how it was disappointing, just different. it is poppier, that's why i liked it. i'm not going to say it's their best, but it's still good.

Minus The Bear "Lotus"

[Burn That Shit]

Not really. Not even close.

Also The Fragile

[bluecrunchy]

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. The transition from "Flee the Factory" to "Dead Men Tell No Tales" is incredible.

[CollectiveConfusion]

the first 11 songs of the "i can make a mess like nobody's business" album

[theguy77]

william doyle uses a bitcrusher on the acoustic guitar in "pretty pylons", that sounds pretty glitchy in the sense that you seem to be talking about. he also uses looping and delay a lot, especially in the songs "counterfeit moon" and "dry justice". go download his album born in the USB, it's completely saturated in background noise. you'll love it i promise.

I'm amazed at how he could produce a song like that.

Will you split the comission with me if i clink the link?

just kidding, i already have and enjoy williams work!

[bard]

what was wrong with saturdays=youth?
i enjoyed it, but it just wasn't like his other stuff. and i'm glad he's not just re-hashing all his old albums, it was just too big of a leap out of his "normal" genre.

it was just too 80's. idk, i'm just not a fan of that style anyways, and when i heard m83 doing it, it just made me want digital shades volume 2 even more.

[Un'Aria Ancora]

About equal for me. 65dos isn't great, neither was BTHATS, both good for there genre though.
