To me it's a tie between Art Angels and Miss Anthropocene  

[Terrence Loves Me 72,698]

they were selling visions in hmv for £12 

[Inferno Euphoria 6,494]

Art Angels > Visions >>> MA >>>>>>>>>> the rest of her discography

[Voignamir 4,265]

the erasure of gp and halfaxa in this thread, disgusting

 

[Terrence Loves Me 72,698]

geidi, halfaxa and visions are in weird girl era.. art angels, ma and her new album are in gamer girl era so they cannot be compared like she is in a new league of sound rn

It's true i really cant compare them despite loving them all. I have my preferences but I'm not going to die on a hill saying that one or two are definitively better than the rest in all ways. 

I think I just put halfaxa and visions and geidi primes on a pedestal because so many people are unable to appreciate what grimes used to be! She has always been this good, musically, she just used to be more underground.

What happenned with this song? Is 2022 and i'm still waiting for a studio version

4ÆM still gives me chills its without a doubt one of the best electronic pop songs of the decade maybe even century like my ass is never not going apeshit whenever it comes on the level of hype it creates is unreal

She lost the files for that specific album before Art Angels, and only managed to release the REALiTi scratch because that was one of the few songs (if not the only one) she still had saved, then she reworked it for the album.

 

She also never intended to release David because that song is deeply personal to her, since it's about one of her best friends who - himself.

It's Grimes so I wouldn't be surprised if she completely forgot to save it at all

gp deserved

halfaxa not

[Lux Eterna 623]

 

his is the only thing closest to a studio version that we have, but the chorus melody is not the correct.

Wow I am so grateful the Realiti demo survived. It's probably my favourite song of Grimes. 

 

I remember Grimes also saying they scrapped the album (before Art Angels) because they didn't want to go in that direction anymore. Maybe both are true (the files were lost and they didn't want to go ahead with them anyway)?

Afaik, she stated that there was never 'another' album before Art Angels, she just scrapped the songs because she thought they were not going in the direction she wanted. But, like, the project was always Art Angels.

Personally I prefer the final REALiTi but the demo is so beautiful.

Oh cool yes that is indeed what I was remembering I always thought David was one of those songs too but now I know it's different.

She’s cancelled some shows and said she will be back in the fall properly and wants to take summer off.

See ya’ll in Nov for the album……maybe…

geidi primes is in my opinion the most interesting grimes record, and my personal favourite from her. it’s such an interesting and unique soundscape; it feels dreamy, surreal and abstract, and i can’t name any other record that would sound like geidi primes. and meanwhile i see that this record isn’t as polished and doesn’t seem to be as finished as other grimes stuff, it’s in my opinion peak of her creativity, along halfaxa - her singing and production are rarely as creative on her more recent works
