When you said earlier that he just outdone himsef I just had to check it out to make sure you weren't saying crazy things... and fuck me sideways if this isn't a masterpiece. I just can't believe how it got even better than the previous. I know they don't play the same stuff... But to me: Igorrr and Mories are THE two artists I admire that just can't fail from what I've heard so far.

Yeah, their individual talent towers above pretty much everyone else right now. Their ability to take dozens of sounds, styles and elements and combine it into brilliantly constructed and intelligent, thought out songs is second to none.

Kind of a staff joke until we figure out how to succinctly sum up his style without flooding the genre bit with a dozen different styles

I wonder if they could work together... Their approach and main goal to their music is very different but the way of working, structures and variation of gazillions of styles has many similarities.

I listened to it about 6 or 7 times yesterday, and today once on the way to the train station, twice on the train and once more on the walk here and I'm just now getting my head around everything and understanding the songs. Of course I've had the benefit of knowing this band since 2008 and the chance to listen to the two records before this religiously.

Haha, what a reaction.
Sounds pretty cool. In fact, very cool. I'll hold off on ratings or list positions for now, but I can safely say it won't be in my top 10 but it will be in towards the top. Then again, this year my "top" is very long and so many albums deserved a very good rating, so it might not appear too high. We'll see.

I loved it from the get-go. Then again, I was listening to the previous albums quite a lot the past few weeks so...

As been familiar with their previous albums, other songs tends out to be bit "already-checked-it-out" feeling. No offence.
That's heavily true that he's a very talented musician who will stun many more fans with his innovative music.

If you like Absolute Psalm then you might like Igorrr's other project WHOURKR. Basically a more extreme, glitchy version of Igorrr with all the classical and other such bits taken out and concentrating on insane cybergrind parts. Pretty intense stuff.

I have no idea  Only dubstep I've listened to is a few Skrillex songs and the ending of Diablo Swing Orchestra's latest album, and there's a lot of people saying Skrillex is not actually dubstep so who knows. By reading at the wikipedia description it actually fits this somehow (as errantly as any possible tag could fit this music) and well, if Igorrr himself says it at least it was an influence

Yea, my thumbs up is based on those 2 tracks you posted in another thread. I definitely liked what I heard there, I'm listening to this right now (on Cicadidae atm). Along with this this I'll also be checking out WHOURKR.

Cool beans. WHOURKR are good, but I feel they sometimes collapse under the massive weight of their own insane craziness. I prefer Igorrr's sense of exploration and mixing of styles and sounds.

I've listened to a couple tracks off 4247 Snare Drums and it's interesting stuff. Can't say I prefer one over the other since one is "avant garde" and the other is like straight cybergrind (proper genre?) so depending on my mind I will want one or the other. I do definitely really enjoy Igorrr's sense of experimentation and style-mashing for sure though. 
@Uldreth, you should def get this asap, it's really awesome stuff. Bandcamp

The last minute of Scarlatti 2.0 has some "dubstep"y-ness to it, same with the very end of Toothpaste. Or at least those parts sound like what I associate dubstep as in my mind.

Didn't pick up in that, but perhaps the odd bit of dub.

Well I'm not the voice of dubstep here either though. You would probably know way better than me what is or is not actually dubstep. I like the wobble bass sound that is associated with dubstep groups like Skrillex and Excision (that is also used by The Algorithm, KoRn and Exotype) but in general I'm not a big fan of dubstep. I checked out a dozen or so dubstep artists about a year ago through youtube and the only one I really liked was Excision, his music is a bit on the slow side for me (I prefer my electronic music to be relatively faster paced) but I still liked it way more than Skrillex or any of the others I checked out (funny opinion, Excision's music sounds like Transformer sex music ). The only other one I really dug was some Greek guy whose name I can't remember for the life of me that was something like Cube or Cubix or something (at least I'm pretty sure his name had something to do with Cube somehow) and I'd love to find him again.

So, are all the non-synth instruments recorded on the their respected individual instruments by this guy or are they just mixed samples?

I own the first 3 cds and most of the instruments like strings, banjo, saxophone and others are credited to session musicians. I think he takes care of all guitars (both acoustic/electric) and most of the vocals (some growls and vocals are credited to other fellas). There are of course many samples from well known classical compositions. It's quited difficult to known what has been performed by the guy himself, session musician or by a sample but somehow I think that's the beauty of it. The only thing I do know is that he's still responsible for everything (read: insanely brilliant songwriting) in the end.

I don't want to hijack the thread out of being pedantic but just because I can:
Dubstep is not really defined by the wobble bass sound, it has a very definable set of characteristics. Original dubstep was played around 140 BPM with the percussion being at half tempo. This is what gives the tracks that slow and empty feeling, and it also means dubstep is NEVER "driven" by the rhythm. Percussion is generally a rearranged Amen-break and it is NEVER a simple four-to-the-floor type beat and early dubstep took tons of influence from jamaican dub music (hence the name).
It was quiet and atmospheric with most of the music being overwhelming sub-bass, but much less in higher frequencies.
Then came the so called "brostep", essentially a type of post-dubstep, which is more aggressive and has most of the music in frequencies similiar to metal guitars. Excision belongs to this category, but this is still dubstep because it has all other characteristics of the genre. I do not consider Skrillex to be dubstep because, while he might have a couple of dubstep-ish tracks and defo took influence from the genre, he plays in different tempoes and percussions, and is far closer to a type of electro-house with glitchy synth. That is usually referred to as complextro.
I have no clue if there is dubstep in this though because I haven't listened yet but I definitely will!
