A new album is well and truly overdue. Even though I still rave about Total Reality, Total Chaos.

Me too, came here to post how I want to live inside “Total Reality, Total Chaos”. Lapalux has reached new levels with this release.

I don't know, he's certainly changing his style but that's the reason why I can't compare Nostalchic with Amnioverse... apples and oranges imo. Love both.

I reckon Lapalux has got zero to do with Jon Hopkins. Glitchy broken beats have been around ages before Jon Hopkins, Autechre have been doing that for some good decades now. Tracks like Earth are clearly far more influenced by the likes of Orbital for instance.

i really like his new album. i know we all hate the hobby psychologists but just listening to his music, i feel like he's in a badder place since 2017. "the end of industry" was one of the coldest releases i've ever heard and "ruinism" is also pretty dark. already the cover of amnioverse is imho a reference to the last path you go when you die, when everything becomes warm and you just see this bright light. maybe i'm wrong but i just wish him the best, a great release, if afterlife exists, and it's missing a soundtrack just take this album.

in the press release he said the album was inspired by a picture of James Turrell’s 'Twilight Epiphany Skyspace' installation in Texas (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EGCoKi4WwAAIz1l?format=jpg&name=large) --- the artwork is also an homage to James Turrell's work! I really like Lapalux' interpretation of the installation: “People are sitting in what looks like a waiting room lit in a purple hue, looking up at the dark night sky through a rectangular hole in the ceiling. The image has so much depth and means so much to me.... it seems like we are all in that waiting room, waiting to be somewhere or go somewhere. That’s what I tried to encapsulate in this record.”

nigga indeed this album feels to me like a continuation of The End of Industry. It's interesting that The End of Industry was released very shortly after Ruinism. It's like it was sitting there, ready to be released by the time Ruinism was coming out, but was too heavy to fit in the album, so it was left as a solo release. 2019 Lapalux is definitely not the same of Nostalchic - his inspirations have certainly changed and apparently became much more introspective than ever. This album feels to me like a question to existence, and the inevitable acceptance of our weaknesses - that's what I get from the samples throughout the tracks.

my man, you're absolutely right. tbh i miss those nostalchic vibes. the sample on "hellix": "people, I've talked about hell, and if there is a place that, uh, there's burning, and is seven times hotter than fire, and that there is no air, eternal torment, and you can't die. that's the way i felt. i was in hell... Hell on Earth" question to existence, yep that sounds also fitting.
