Dark Matter (song)

[RockPusher]

if Pearl Jam really want to "bring back the intensity" of their old stuff, they need to be making songs that are long enough to build and travel places; part of that is including the great intros they used to have: Alive, Jeremy, Black... you name it, they used to take great care to write intros that grabbed the attention right away but didn't show the song's whole hand immediately

Inside job?

yeah, they have late-career examples, but I wouldn't describe Inside Job as heavy or intense

I feel like Gigaton is full of the kind of textures you're talking about, and it's one of the reasons I love it.

I agree. I miss the longer songs that build to something. I guess there have been a few recently? But it does seem to be less prevalent

yeah, Gigaton had some, but Dark Matter would be much stronger with extended bookends

I'm all for bringing back the heavy, but I want some inviting intros pls

Ms Harmless is posting very well this evening.

Ms H is referencing the Stone songs on Ten.

Stone’s the problem.

[oneway23]

Stone’s the problem.

Stone never the problem.
Stone is the solution to any problem

Agreed with everything here

[Ms Harmless]

Wait I’m so confused. She was talking about compositional structure and suddenly it became textures? I’m too tired to deal with this.

"patterns"

I'm listening to the BoB mix of Avocado (which I prefer to the original, overall),and I wish the intro to severed hand sounded as heavy as Dark Matter.

Is this available anywhere other than Spotify?

Not that I'm aware of

I believe this can be purchased from Qobuz, as well as other high-resolution audio sites like HDTracks and ProStudioMasters.
It can be identified by the (2017 mix) distinction

i might have heard a bit more of Jeff in that Spatial audio preview?

[Farmer John]

I have! It's pretty good.

I think Apple calls it "Spatial Audio" so Trag doesn't get on their ass for it technically not being the full Dolby Atmos experience.

No, that's just Apple branding at work. Makes people think they've invented things first if they simply alter the wording. That's their designation for Dolby Atmos no matter how or where you listen.

Yeah, that's what I was attempting to say.

"It the Dolby Atmos mix, but you're probably listening to it on your AirPods or laptop speakers, so we'll call it Spatial Audio"

Which still sounds pretty cool, IMO
