Anyone else feeling their new album Attack Decay Sustain Release? I can't stop playing it. Just curious what people's favorite tracks were?

Haven't heard it all yet but I LOVE Hustler- and the video is yummy!!

I also like their remix of Peaches' Downtown.

Yeah, those two Hustler vids are somethin' aren't they? lol I hear "Hustler" all the time when I go out. The way the beat thumps on it is a killer.

Check it out, definitely. They do a solid job of morphing various sounds and textures. And the stand out tracks really kick your ass (I Believe, Hustler, I Got This Down, Love, It's The Beat). I really appreciate that they got Simon Lord back from the darkness for "I Believe" and that they brought back my man Barry Dobbin (from my fave now-disbanded indie act Clor) for Love -- which is my hands down fave song on the entire album. I'm surprised they didn't perform it when I saw them live two months ago. It's total dance euphoria.

Wow-- where do you go out?? I would freakin LOVE to hear stuff like Hustler at a bar/club.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'm gonna take your word that it's good. You were the one that introduced me to Presets and I can't thank u enough for that!!

Cool, cool! No prob. OMG that is so dope you are into the PRESETS! HELL YEAH! What did you pick up? Beams? Beams/Resets? Blow Up? What are your fave tracks?!

Got em ALL. I started with Beams and then did some poking around for anything else they have done. I fucking LOVE "Beat on Beat off" from Blow Up. Kitty in the Middle (love the very prince-like linn 1 drums), Steamworks, Worms, and especially I Go Hard, I Go Home are all I mean the whole album is pretty damn amazing really. Special mention should got to their cover artwork for Beams/Resets

That's great. I bought Beams the first day it came out and played it incessantly. Thank GOODNESS you're into Blow Up, I really needed to hear that. I've put a few of my friends up on Blow Up and they like it, too. That EP is pretty raw. It's 2 years pre-Beams, so their sound on it is very underground and unpolished. I like it. I think the thing that's so delicious about the 'sets is that their sound is dark, sexy and danceable.

"Kitty In The Middle" was one of my first standouts when I got the record. I played that one repeatedly, same with "Girl (You Chew My Mind Up)." I still have memories of driving in the streets L.A. on a smoggy afternoon blasting that track!

Now if you like "I Go Hard..." whoa, you HAVE to see them live. They KILL that song. Here's a youtube clip of them killing it ---> http://www.youtube.com/wa...HFPIXQ4wWg <--- it will kick your ass! There's a live album kicking around, too, that I got from Record-Play website (they do live recordings of acts like Rodrigo + Gabriela, etc.) and it's really good, too.

Oh yeah, the artwork for Beams/Resets is DOPE as HELL. YESSS. I'll be the first to say it: Beams is one of my top, favorite albums of this decade.
