@@Ike92240 I’m a bit worried for obsidian though I’m sure I’ll be proven wrong... 2 years of waiting can build some high expectations. Unrealistic ones even. I just hope that doesn’t impact anyone’s view of the album, myself included.
@@trevordillon1921 Oh I don't think anything could live up to expectations like that. I think it's best to just view it as a an album that fits into this overall trilogy well. It's a lot of songs that I just needed to get out, since a lot of it was written during the time I was my mother's caretaker while she was battling cancer, and in the aftermath of her passing and all the madness that comes when dealing with end-of-life stuff. I know not everyone will dig every track musically, but I'm just making the stuff I dig, and getting out the stuff I need to get out. I hope you find some tracks on there that you enjoy, or that can be helpful for you!
What does Copper sound like? Where as Quartz was like a journey through a gritty cyberpunk cityscape, Copper is more like a deep-dive into a dream sequence - full of echoes, emotions, and memories; at once haunting and personal. Very much looking forward to Obsidian to see how this fantastic trilogy concludes.
Okay, I'll admit... I didn't like the teasers and was expecting to only like 2 or 3 songs. It wasn't that I thought they were bad, just not my style of music But this is a damn good album! I absolutely love this. Been spinning this for about 3 hours now. Don't plan to stop.
I knew it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm glad that people are giving it a chance. Really just all out making whatever music I like with these albums and beyond. This is the type of stuff I would drive around listening to and is something I've always wanted to do, especially since I see all of what I do as "electronic music" even when using guitars (to me, I'm just making distorted samples to use, and playing with elements of genres when guitars are in play). Thanks for giving this one a shot, and I'm glad it grew on you!
@@al112v4 I agree. If I had to just make rock music, I wouldn't want to do it at all. Usually working on one element of a genre gets me excited to then do the opposite. While finishing Quartz, I was excited to not use any guitars. While working on Copper, I couldn't wait to start throwing guitars into electronic tracks, etc.
Holy crap man! I knew you were busy in quarantine but certainly was not expecting 2 new albums within about a month of each other! You're a goddamn monster and I am living for it
I think Copper is my favorite album out of this trilogy. It sounds a bit like an exploration of sounds, and one of the softer albums I've heard Blue Stahli do. Variety is nice.
There is something about this album. I don't listen to it often. When it released I didn't really feel it. I wasn't by any means disapointed nor did I consider it bad. But it never had a grip on me Quartz, and later Obsidian did. But somehow I'm finding myself returning to it all the time. It never fails to calm me down and make me focus on what I'm doing. It is so calm, so different to usual Stahli stuff, yet you can feel that it's his stuff.
Ultranumb brought me to you, The Fall is my favorite song you've made, but what made me fall in love was not only your commitment to excellent quality music but also the feelings imbued in the works resonating with me in ways I don't often find in the music out there.
This is the exact opposite of what I thought and hoped the album would be... And yet its exactly what I needed to hear right now. Perfection as always from our sonic cryptid, keep up the amazing work, and get all that amazing creative energy off your chest!
Is this anyone else's fav album in the trilogy? I love how it's so lowkey and refined compared to the other two. Didn't like it too much at first listen cuz it wasn't as loud and heavy as Quartz, but it grew on me very quickly.
Thanks so much! I'm absolutely just making the stuff I like, sometimes it's stuff that's helpful for me, songs I need to get out or express, and sometimes it's fun experiments that I enjoy that I hope can be a good part of someone else's day.
Ngl this album is sick coz it has some really futuristic dreamlike vibes and I love that so much you put in some amazing work my guy keep making amazing stuff!
Bret, I absolutely love the variety you weave your web, not letting me go. When I'm trying to move, I only get more stuck than I have before! It's magnificent, magical, beautiful. Please never loosen my shackles, let us all get chained-not to the rhythm- but the God like tones, infecting us with the feelings and memories of warmth and satisfaction. Love from Germany
I'll be honest, I think this is my favorite album in the trilogy. The others are nothing short of stellar, make no mistake, but this one feels so raw and cerebral, like a detailed look into a troubled mind as it navigates a million kinds of grief. It resonates with me deeply. I've been listening to Dryheat on repeat quite a lot tonight.
Really glad we're getting so much new stuff this year! Also really impressed by just how different this is from Quarts, especially since they released so close together.
Thanks so much! It was great to be able to switch gears for this one. I love doing a wild swing of genres, and that Blue Stahli is basically like spinning a weird interdimensional radio dial
Okay so i know this isn't the Blue Stahli we were waiting for and that one is definitely on Obsidian.But this songs (most of them) are for that moment when you lay on a field watching the stars with that person you wanna share the world with.
The vibe of this album has this sort of dreamy ethereal quality to it. Reminds me of the old school inception app that would morph the sounds around you into this dream like soundtrack. Excellent work as always Brett!
I absolutely love this album, it's my favorite of this series. I really wish these videos were broken into youtube "chapters" or each track name was time stamped, though!
Ah this is lovely. Working my way through the trilogy now, out of order I'm afraid, but loving every minute of it (cue loverboy) nonetheless! Great stuff as always Edit: Bret are you familiar with the work of Sascha Dikiciyan / Sonic Mayhem? I can't help but think of his Doomsday EP listening to this
I'm glad UA-cam knew what I wanted, out here typoing "Bue Stahli" like I'm looking for some sort of Halloween special. Jesus Christ lmao Love the album, by the way, man. It's beautiful.
Lots of awesome different genres in here. From spooky stuff to Nujabes-like instrumentals. This was top tier. They say Copper is worth a lot these days 😉
With both the releases of Quartz and Copper, and Obsidian on the horizon, I was wondering: Are you discontinuing the use of Bandcamp to share your music? That's where I primarily purchase your music, so I was curious.
YUUUUS. I remember when The Devil came out. Your music is the best for a workout playlist, back when that album came out it really helped my in my weight loss journey, I've gained that all back now, but with these new songs Imma boutta lose it all. I also remebe the dope Devil tshirts I could never buy, least now im gonna get the technicolor shirt from ya.
@@bluestahli It's cool Bret. I was part of the late amazon party at the time, but I got it now. Thanks as always for your awesome work. Can't wait for the next one. :^)
Pretty ambient and different than what I've heard from you. Not really my thing heh -too calm and quiet - I like the sexy guitar from earlier haha . Sounds to me like an experimental soundtrack out in space. Nice
It's definitely not for everyone, and I've never stuck to just one genre, but I'm glad there's stuff that pops up that you're into. May be some stuff coming up that you'll dig!
In my Russian lessons, I found out the word for tables is pronounced "Stahli". So copy this and paste it in the translator, and ask it to pronounce it for you: плу столы
(I'm a bit drunk but) holy heck this feels like my brain is rapturing and its annihilating my sense of self. Holy f-cking f-ck I love him, Bret is my idol now. I wanna be able to do something awesome like this in my miserable little life. I f-cking love you. You're the cure to my suicidal ideation.
Eh... Gotta say I'm not a fan of this album. It feels like a soundtrack: I'm sure it would work as background music for something visual, but on its own it's... boring. I liked Quartz (well, half of it, anyway), and I'm still looking forward to Obsidian, though.
ну не знаю даже. это не то чего я ожидал от Берта, но мне очень даже зашло. может это музыка под настроение? я вот пока ехал в электричке смотря в окно под эту музыку смачно кайфанул.
I came looking for Copper and I found Gold.
That's alchemy for you !
I will never stop being amazed at the wit that shows up here in the comments!
Nah dude I think that's a Prince album.

Quartz and Copper are great, but all I'm really waiting for is Obsidian.
Lakes of Flame has put me on a hype train with no brakes
Ha, I figured this is many people's approach, and that's all good!
Blue Stahli releasing Quartz: "Wanna see me make a banger new album?"
Blue Stahli releasing Copper: "Wanna see me do it again?"
Blue stahli finally releasing Obsidian : say sike right now

great album to calm yourself down and fall asleep. Actually I did so somewhere in the middle of it. I'd be greatfull if I wasn't a f**ng bus driver.
Same here, right now, on a train ride. Definitely not what I expected Copper to be like, but a pleasant surprise!
Hahahaha, excellent comment
@@nuvaboy That's awesome! This is a perfect "gazing out a train window" record

And thank YOU for listening!
Thank you for producing real music for us, Mr. Stahli! You're an inspiration. 💜
No, YOU'RE an inspiration! I'm happy to do so
Oh man, this is just pure bliss - so amazingly composed!
Thank you!

This could really be the soundtrack for a game. Just the right feel for delving into somewhere mysterious
I didn’t know an another album was coming out this is sick. Thnks for making my playlists more interesting
First half of this album is great as background music. Really love it.
Definitely the aim, thank you!
More ear pleasers from Blue Stahli? Yes Please and Thank You!
Indeed!
When did that happen without me noticing ffs ! Thank you Bret !!!
What a good timing. I started listening to Blue's stuff few days ago
Timed it all out for your arrival, enjoy!

He may even get the last one out before 2021. We’ll have to wait and see.
