seems very underrated to me - or at least it's a mystery for me that he gets like no attention at all around here. or do i just miss those topics all the time? what do you think about him? i mean i started listening to kirlian selections a few days ago and it's fabulous - every song a masterpiece. okay you cannot compare it to tracks from drukqs but still those piano and classical pieces sound very good. |
||||||||

oh btw - those wonderful granular sounds - is this kyma? it just sounds so good that i can't believe it's another piece of hard/software |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

probably he got more attention when he was new on the scene at any rate he gets flak for being "inconsistent" i think was the term |
||||||||

I like him, even if 90% of everyone hates him and calls him whatever they want. I like Tycho too. They are both great producers who write great melodies. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why do people hate him actually ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Because they have terrible taste would be my guess. <3 |

i remember when i first got kirlian selections i felt kinda guilty that i found myself thinking he'd one-upped squarepusher but since i've kinda developed an attitude of squarepusher is still better because he pioneered the style |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he used to post on a few places, and generally people got the impression he was an asshole. could be true, but i think some people are also jealous of his copious skills... |

don't know his work. saw him in detroit a month or two back. sorry to sound negative (rarely do) but it wasn't my cup of tea. i didn't know his material going into-it, but it was the fast bits with slow melodies (sqr style i suppose), but it's like the melodies were too slow for the fast bits. hard to explain but ah, what you gonna do. |

i like flashbulb even though he sound a bit like vsnares little flower smelling brother on FL |
||||||||
|

i used to be into him, but cant really listen to him anymore. he can make good music, but it just doesnt do it for me :( despite all the boc references and hate, im interested in listening to some tycho.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
His best song for me is 'If trees could talk' (or similiar) its a very catchy guitar riff basically. very beautiful too. the other stuff i dont like as much |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he was recommended to me so I got an album at random "Girls Suck But You Don't". I've since been told that this is one of his worst albums, but I do still really like it. Can anyone suggest a better one for me to get please? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's great but i got tired of him very quickly, for some reason.. i think i listened to his stuff too much when i discovered him. i just can't bear to listen to him any more |
||||||||
|
|

He's a bit of an idiot really. I remember his little rant against file sharing, then saw exactly how many albums he had uploaded and seeded on oink. Fuck off, prick. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're so grumpy. Where was this little rant? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he got caught out on oink after someone leaked his acid wolf stuff and he got pissed off. the idiot had uploaded gigs upon gigs of stuff and shared/seeded shitloads of albums, most of which were on indie labels. musically, i actually like some of his acidwolf stuff, but every time i hear it, i can't help but think they were produced by an idiot. |
||||||||

all the more reason to download the fuck out of him. Fuck head |

kirlian selections is fantastic. 4.5/5 |
||||||||
|

Somebody just gave me flexing habitual. So I am hoping it's going to be good. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's going to be like some many things I have heard before. Don't know though. Hopefully I will be proved to be wrong. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Flexing Habitual is awesome, but Kirlian Selections is a masterpiece. His new work is quite astounding. I'd suggest that anyone listen to Time Ache Finale . |
||||||||

anybody knows anything about the kyma i asked for ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

i don't think he made any 'masterpieces', but he's alright at some things. he's not that good at sound choice/production though, i think. well, he might be GOOD, but not really to my taste. some really nice melodies though, the one cx named up there is great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he is very inconsistent, releases a lot of unfinished sounding tracks or just poor tracks. it gets a bit disappointing when so many tracks start strong and dont reach their peak. some great stuff tho. i rarely want to listen to a whole album, they are all too incoherent for me. Brown #12 is a good track |

kirlian selections all the way |

he should have gotten a job on the side of music making, instead of thinking to earn some fat cash out of selling albums. I can not imagine any living sane soul would agree with all of his statements in his rant. And to be honest, posing yourself down as the next best new thing (it just sounds like that to me), is a bad thing to do in general to most of "your fans" or "the customers"(-Ben Jordan) Back to his music, it doesn't do anything for me. Sure he has some tracks that i find really enjoyable, but i just don't like the rest of it. His Acid Wolf stuff is good though but that's maybe because i feel it compensates against his Flashbulb moniker. |

he`s a self promoting photo copying so and so |

He's an Idiot. His online rant was daft. |

Beaker Sunset = very yes. |

Some of his stuff is brilliant. I think when you're as creative as he is in producing cutting-edge IDM then you are always going to release hit and miss material. As far as I'm concerned he's in the same boat as Aphex, Square and Tipper - geniuses on their day, but more often that not, disappointing. As for the uploading/downloading, if true then it makes him look a bit foolish. Maybe he thought, if he can't beat them why not join them, and that's his perogative. People change and their reasons change. I think the true idiots are those who let an artists personality get in the way of the enjoyment of their music. |

He is properly rated. |

i'm on the fence with this guy. some of his shit is great but a lot of it is wankey... i've met him in chicago and he carries that "superiority" thing around with him too... the shit as Acid Wolf and Human Action Network are ace! |

"Red extensions of me" and "Kirlian selections" are more than good, well constructed and produced albums. However :"Flexing Habitual" sucks an orca`s cock drowned in elephant`s poo, and totally makes no sense. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

I'm listening to some of his stuff on myspace and I don't hear anything that couldn't be done with Max, Reaktor or PD. With granular synthesis it's more a matter of finding the sweet spot with a particular sample, where it does something atypical and neat, than of buying or stealing some special instrument. |

I was really into Réunion a while back.. Some tracks on Kirlian Selections are very good. Like Passage D, great beats and piano stuff! Short but sweet. |

Human Action Network is great but suffers from weak production, it's like he found the tracks on the HD and released them as is. |

That was an interesting read. I still wonder about about one possible business strategy; just set up a website and initially offer 1 'teaser' song for download to show the general style, then only after you receive 100$ or whatever of donations, another song is made available for download. Anyone can donate any amount, so if one individual really likes them he can outright pay for all of them to be released. If only, say, 57$ is donated so far a bar that shows '57' is displayed and the song simply isn't released to the public yet (only the creator even knows what it sounds like). Plus you don't have to do jack shit with making jewel case/booklet/etc crap as downloading is the most convenient transfer. Would only work if your music is really good quality and you'd have advertising to worry about. Still might not work because there's a flood of people who probably release tracks of a similar quality for free to compete with. But aphex who is known already could maybe make quite a lot using it (instead of 100 per song, like 10,000 or whatever). Also there would be a problem of people trusting you. I like baked potatoes, especially the small red ones. Just bake for an hour at 350 degrees. |
