On first listen it doesn't evoke a lot of emotion and it seems too sanitised and shiny. I find it funny that one of this guy's pseudonyms was TheRapeMachine though, haha! :D |

Another one of those IDM musicians whose tracks most of them I digg. Not at all "the American Aphex Twin" as praised by someone here in the past in terms of orgasmicly epic uniqueness or whatever I'm trying to express but pretty damn good. |

100% agree. That summarised what I said about it really well. ^^ nuun, I will listen to a little more, but I think my mind is pretty much made up already. Maybe from a technical POV it is good, so other people on her appreciate it for that. But, it evokes no emotion. I know AFX is used in a lot of ads, but Flashbulb was used in a Dove soap advert, which I think is indicative of the fact that Flashbulb has a generic, sanitised feel to it. I gotta disagree with you on "pretty damn good" but I do like that phrase. :) Anyway, each to their own! :) |

it's a shame, i have two flashbulb albums and they're very well produced, but do pretty much nothing for me. 'red extensions of me' is probably the better one, though the cover art for 'kirilian selections' is quite nice. i think the problem is it never really meshes. i can actually visualise the individual instrument tracks scrolling along, which doesn't happen with, well, good artists. for example, in the Dove ad tune, 'Passage d', it's just like a decent enough classical piano tune with some clinical breaks stuck over the top to make it Dance Music instead, which as we all know is a lot more street. Flashbulb's sound reminds me of one of my close friends from high school, who was (and is) an extremely talented musician, but when he makes dance music, it sounds like a classically-trained musician trying to make dance music. |

flashbulb = very definition of idm, a genre that didnt exist in britain until everyone came online and the americans forced everyone else to say it he's influenced by aphex etc but he has never contributed his own ideas to the culture of electronic music because he doesnt care about exploring electronic music, he has been programmed by the fake genre of "idm" which says you must only copy the artists and contribute nothing at all. if you copy you should at least contribute some new idea in some way otherwise you suck! i hate idm so i hate flashbulb music |

enjoy it for what it is. melodic electronic music. go any deeper into it than that and you'll talk yourself out of liking it. ie. lose the plot. |

I am trying to listen to the song, but my parents have a crappy connection, not EVEN 20MB like i have at uni, as the vid is loading reaaaaaaaaally slow. :( FAIL. |
||||||||

|
|
haha, yeah that song is very fucking basic music college 101 shite. :) |
||||||||
|

I heard one track. It was a drukqs-y sounding thing. Minus any intricacy or soul. Can't say i'm gasping for more. |

Would be crap without visuals. |

I like this one |

Flashbulb is kinda depressive, because of some sad melodies. I dont like this propertie of this performer, and vice versa I like emotional stuff he puts in tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sure, anything for a pretty girl- the guy who is The Flashbulb created music under the name of therapemachine, lol. :) Just thought it was a funny name is all! :D Don't you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...not really. Whats funny about it? |

||||||||

|

That's a mix though, so it doesn't really prove anything, cept that someone who isn't Flashbulb is good at mixin. Aside from that, how are you, earthleakage? |
||||||||

What would your name be if you were an Electronica goddess, Atty? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks! I don't think any of us knew what that meant! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol, it was meant to be 'that's the spirit, Duster!', like with a comma to show where the address term started. Nvm... k, Mr D, howzat? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's a remix, by flashbulb. If you read a comment or two you'd have realised. : 9 |

how can you say has no emotion? imo he has made some good tracks, especially the piano/guitar stuff. not into the old idm stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That has no emotion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why not? Too poppy for you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not one to say wether he put his emotions into this. It's just the shape of the track. I guess the structure is quite poppy yes. That beat coming in. Very uneventful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FOr me personally I just like the guitar riff. I guess the arrangement isnt the most original but i quite like that riff. I've had it on repeat for a bit, so to me it's not without emotion |
