Tyondai Braxton - Platinum Rows

[Levenius]

Now this is some brilliant stuff.

[Auntkekebaby]

I'm in love.

[luuukeeee]

god damn, where the hell have i heard this before???!

[monsterisdue]

Reminds me of "The rite of Spring," by Igor Stravinsky. One passage in particular, it has been said, "That page is sixty years old, but it's never been topped for sophisticated handling of primitive rhythms...", and of the work as a whole, "...it's also got the best dissonances anyone ever thought up, and the best asymmetries and polytonalities and polyrhythms and whatever else you care to name." Now someone is approaching that level of sophistication. Brilliant.

[crimsonheight]

@monsterisdue that was exactly my first thought

[adolfkaw]

Pop music in 2087

[jamesharvey]

This guy is only y, d, and a away from being Toni Braxton.

[Pablo4Ethiopia]

hahaha this is way better than battles

[KrazyKuKluxKiller]

I had a choice, watch this or fuck my girl.

I slapped that bitch so hard and kicked her out of the house. To hell with her, this shit's superior than vagina.

[Auntkekebaby]

@KrazyKuKluxKiller lol. Hey I'm a lady and I think you're right ;)

[flippert0]

[Kharnifex999]

I don't know how anything can compete with this

[amontillado26]

Never in my life have i heard something so moving and awe inspiring. You have done for music what Paint has done for life on earth. God Speed you magnificent soul.

[weareallanemic]

[angelofmegadeath]

Tyondai, your smooth intonation and masterful rhythms both soothe my spirit and allow me to achieve and sustain an erection.

[ichinaru123411]

Thanks so much. I was on the verge of suicide but by listening to this I reconsidered my outlook on life and decided to become a stronger and happier person. I love you and you are beautiful; don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

[fastfoodisgross]

This... It's so beautiful. It made me cry so much that I almost died of dehydration. Thank you for this wonderful song.

[tankyprozac]

this is... FUCKING AMAZING... PORN TO MY EARS

[Rejectfromhell]

HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD THIS BEFORE??! most amazing thing ever!!

[Shepmatic]

[RamRugby]

AMAZING

[ZennieAbitar]

This is wonderful

[MVPacMan23]

THank you, Tyondai Braxton. You have given meaning to my life. Before I found this video, I was nothing but a mere human, a bloodsucking parasite on the edge of society who had neither lived nor loved and, if humanity had its way, would likely do neither for much longer. However, thanks to your funky beats, I have found a new lease on life. I realize now that life is what we make it, and I choose to make it the best that I can. Thank you Tyondai, and may your hallowed memory last for eternity.

[Devil1970]

FUCKIN AMAZING

[icypearjelly]

Thumbs up if this is the greatest thing you've ever encountered. EVER

[wabaku42]

There will come a day when the courage of true music fails... But today is not that day!

[GeneralFatman27]

This is the best treat my ears have ever received. It is just too fucking amazing for words. It's like Teddy Roosevelt in song form.

[FGwriter]

OMG THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD!!!!!

[TichondriusPVP]

holy shit nice one 5/5

[AlextheShg]

i love it

[speciesofpositive]

This is amazing!

[nahitzen]

It was convnient for him and battles to separe, Battles is still awsome and Tyondai is also great, so the result is they are now making more music. Battles is a one band Army or maybe a one band musical hurricane of gofdly awesomeness and this guy is a one man orchestra, Their both great

[menbouWonderwall]

amazing

[JusticeConstantine]

Holy $#%$ing S#$% !!!! Zappa would be proud.

-Justice Constantine



[salvadordalionfire]

I like Gloss Drop, it's doesn't appeal to me as much as Mirrored but that's more because of the change in direction. I do miss Tyondai's orchestral arrangements though, but from the interviews I've read it seems like they were stagnating before he left. Evidence: the line.

[PacquiaoEPO]

@salvadordalionfire

Gloss Drop is too radio friendly/ 

[TimeForDadTime]

@salvadordalionfire exactly my thoughts

[madeofmetal7067]

@jazzdomi Nope, I'm definitely hearing it too!

[ThatFilmisGnarly]

i tried listening to some of battles new music and couldn't figure out why my favorite bad was so bland and nothing like they were before. Than I realized Tyondai was the creative force behind Battles, i came here and shed a tear of joy

[hagusmalloy]

@ThatFilmisGnarly

Same here. Waiting for a new Battles album for so long I'm not sure how I missed this.

[Thejampacker]

I actually think it might be better that he left, cause now he can make music like this and Battles can continue in well the direction they're going in now and we'll get double the music for it! Neither of them need each other. This is AMAZING and I absolutely love Battles new album! So I don't have a problem that they went different ways at all, I definitely think that they're both better off for it!

[pozzi0]

yah battles misses him. and i misses him in battles too

[BubbaLu123]

Please don't kill me when i say this, but i feel like he "was" Battles. Obviously there is no "I" in team, but holy crap he was the ecstasy in the band.

[chrissphinx]

Battles misses you, Tyondai :(

[rhymeswithgabriel]

exceptional!

[Badondrums]

Sound like a soundrack for a movie that has all the genres in, like a terror-comedy-drama-zombie-mus­ical-dance-documental-gay-acti­on-biopic-indie movie

[settlestone]

i like this.. alot actually. very symphonic.. really cool music.

[richd506]

Awesomeness!!!

[Tak0i0kaT]

I like his music and his name.

[thundermorphine]

I remember the whistles!

I think he's listened a lot to Stravinsky this man. More people ought to.

[18N226EOlympusMons]

Just awesome! I think if you made Frank Zappa and Danny Elfman have sex, this would be the result.

[thesonicbliss]

whoa. charles ives eat your heart out

[Linixion]

I honestly don't even know what to think of this. This is kind of amazing, and I have to agree with the commenter saying that "Frank Zappa would have enjoyed hearing this." This wasn't what I expected at all, but kinda in a good way.

[DennisDeeYourSavior]

in my head... i just made an awesomely intense movie; this guy is great.

[MrFrenchCheese]

I met Tyondai in NY last summer

he was the kindest person I met in USA

[boomboomSCREAM]

best 10minutes of my life spent

[Raconteuring]

This is what Tyondai Braxton is leaving battles for?

[crago121]

@Raconteuring since Battles is finishing up their newest album and have a full tour schedule in 2011, Braxton would rather pursue his solo project

[RochNBassMan]

@Raconteuring umm, yeah. pretty brilliant if you ask me.

[lapoiarecords]

the centerpiece of Battles? fucker

[GoldenFocker]

@lapoiarecords It says "the centerpiece of Battles' frontman Tyondai Braxton's new album," the apostrophe indicating a possessive form. As in, the centerpiece of the new album of the frontman of Battles. Learn how to read properly, before you go around insulting people. And yes, I'm aware Tyondai is no longer part of Battles.

[pathemus]

@GoldenFocker I love grammatical corrections for little pricks.

[PacquiaoEPO]

@GoldenFocker

Yeah, you're actually wrong. Why would battles have any possession of an ex member.

[FuellingObsession]

Not surprised that Björk and Fourtet praised this album...

[Deloreansyk]

It has some great concoctions of timbres, and some brilliant passages that melt my face. It also has a lot of ambition behind it, which is why I respect it. It's just not quite there yet. If Braxton keeps it up, and continues to push himself and his compositions, I think he'll create more matured and organized work. This could very well be the unsuspected blueprint of a great composers career. Not everyone starts out on the right foot from the start! He's got the math rock touch though, <3.

[from93till]

Just as stupid as his hair.

[Amandabearish]

wat the poop is this crap..

[Tristanslav]

interesting indeed, but really not my thing, i must say. At least it's not the general mass produced cobblers you get though.

[frankandwood]

stop bitching and show us all your music.

all you judgmental losers get out and organize noise.

this guy is the bees knees

[DigitalAnalogNoise]

Zappa's "crap"..?? So you've heard all 60-70 albums and some of the countless high quality live boots? And Nothing registers as great, imaginative music??

[Stevemc90]

I personally heard Ty in a seminar acknowlodge Frank's music as helping him come to terms with integrating humor into his own music.

[dancoleman2]

TB is very impressive. He's definitely making my brain listen on several planes of action simultaneously.

But at the 1:30 mark this piece is already exploding all over the place. It gets kitchen sinky real fast. The same processed vocal / percussion thump gets used ad nauseum, like "OK, POLYRHYTHM. WE GET IT".

I heard his solo piece Jackpot yesterday and it just blew my mind.

This sure beats Bang on a Can though, those composers suck!

[HouseFire23]

@dancoleman2 no one cares

[dancoleman2]

ummm...you didn't say anything.

[Snychric]

@dancoleman2

Norton?

[moralreef]

@dancoleman2 it's not a polyrhythm if he's actually changing it every time.

[LibertyDUNN]

I can see pitchfork's boner for this already... seriously though this is pretty impressive.

[TouchingYou]

I'll take this over Zappa's crap any day.

[MrMahimahi2009]

monsterpiece

[dangertreachery]

fucking epic

[gleeclub1]

Sounds like Danny Elfman and Battles playing ping pong.

[YoungFlMusician]

Haha, the vocals sound so much like Battles.

[YoungFlMusician]

I know it is the guy from Battles by the way. Just he's recreated the Mirrored sound so closely.

[ScarletttCat]

you´re soooooo right =)

[FDVCE]

I've made up my mind that this is the best song of 2009

[smokesometea]

awesome!
