For further elaboration, both songs kinda sound like an EDM representation of trudging through a swamp with murky synth patterns and effect blemishes that sound like bullfrogs or insects depending on the said effect. While it’s not one of my favorites in Joel’s discography, it’s interesting to hear him claim this as one of his favorites in an older interview.įor the Lack of a Better Name – 6/10: I think this and “I Said” run together very clearly as a pair of majorly overlooked tracks that have a “marsh-like” vibe to them. It’s atmosphere is complimented well with the surrounding textures and it makes good use of many subtle effects through the track. With that out of the way, I’d say that this is a pretty well-done remix. I Said (Michael Woods Remix) – 6/10: Probably one of the only outsourced remixes that qualify for the list because it’s easily the most well-known addition on the track and was the sole version of the song to be added on 4x4=12. This is a more minimal house number than what the rest of the album often presented with a consistently low-key bass synth presence and barrages of sound effects that basically come straight out of a sci-fi horror movie. It’s certainly not among his best, but it’s at least the kind of quality you’d expect out of Joel at this point in his career.ĭeus Ex Machina – 6/10: Another W:/2016ALBUM/ cut that grew on me pretty significantly since first listen.
GG - 6/10: It’s your signature 8 and a half minute house banger with a good detail for texture. There’s not a ton of significance in this lined up to Joel’s other works, but it works for what it is. This isn’t a bad rendition of that attitude by any means as it captures that familiar sense of daily struggle decently.
Monday – 6/10: A rather nihilistic While cut that borrows quite a bit in concept from “Careless” of deadmau5’s early work. They work best as transitional moments on While, but they can work as okay doses of isolated atmospheres if that’s what you’re into.
2: deadmau5 (100 - 1)Ĭoelacanth I/II – 6/10: Two ambient pieces that are essentially different sides of the same coin.
