The choppiness gets on my nerves. Some nice ideas buried here and there, I think I like the concept more than the music itself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think i don't like it. as a matter of fact i think i hate it. and that's even before i've heard any samples! i heard one tune by this guy a year or so ago and it was shit. i really doubt anything's changed. |

hope it's not loud again |

Samples sound okay. He might be repeating himself with these chop chop BANG rhythms, but ag wel, it works for me. |

i quite like his stuff, its inventive using old videotape samples, give it a nice warm analoggy sound. is this out on skam? |
||||||||

there was last time |

i like a couple of the ones from ribbons of gold, but i find some of the tracks sound too similar, like it could be one long continues track |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in a kinda similar vein has anyone checked out 'Galactic Melt' by com truise? out on ghostly international. use nice 80's analogue sounds with spooky voice overs in a kinda boards stylee. great record and well worth a listen. |

on topic: i wish vhs head didn't use his album cd as a coaster... it's too glitchy, but sunset everett is great! i wish he did more 'straight' tunes cause i like those the most, it gets a bit too glitchy for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
anyone here into fennesz? i fucking love fennesz at the moment, listening to 'endless summer' and 'the black sea' is like having a religious experience injected into your eyeball. perhaps i didnt sell him very well there, but you get my drift. |

Sunset Everett is one unbelievable catchy tune, from Ribbons I like the first 4 tracks or so then the rest it get too choppy and glitchy for me to handle, wished he blended the samples in a more not so obvious way like in Sunset Everett and the like. Curious to hear what his music would sound like without the whole VHS Head concept behind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Trademark Ribbons of Gold can be overwhelming as a whole. I think the first E.P is the nicest - like Kincaid....it has a more a primitive feel to it and the climax melody is mind blowing. Actually, I think the Mary Anne Hobbes set is probably the best collection of VHS Head tunes. Overall, the sounds are just good and yummy. And it is a cool concept. |

Sundown sounds lovely. Very 80's sound track sounding. I will be getting the vinyl for this. Not so sure about the other tracks and the general cutting up, it can get a bit tiring. Nice to drop the odd track now and then but listening to a few in a row is tiresome. |

i like that guinicia track (#3 or 4 of off the lp) - |

wow. a bunch of aphex twin listeners who think the music is too glitchy for them. lololololololololololol ridiculousness aside, i posted this as a notice for new music. you know, since xltronic is kinda dead and has been dead for a long time now. thought i'd actually contribute some real news here to cut through the torrent of trolols. if you don't like his music, you have your reasons. but it's kinda lame to find that the majority of this place is immediately smacking down the album with negative comments, even before some of you (Advocate) have even given it a chance. it's an announcement for a new release, for fucks sake. no one is forcing you to even pay attention here, and you're obviously not the target market since you've already written it off. |

oscillik stop being so obvious you dont need to defend your boy let the music do the talking. you're becoming slightly out of embarrassment |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
and stop chiming in to every single vhs thread and replying directly to every single post. who are you think you are? |
||||||||
|
|

|

elusive, seriously. fuck off. |
||||||||
|
|

Relax my friend! It's only normal you get people's opinions. :) Would you be upset had everyone been positive about the release? |

RusselDust, while I appreciate your attempt to diffuse the situation for the sake of politeness, you seem to be unaware of elusive's antics of late. not to mention the fact that he's complaining about my 'commenting on every VHS Head thread' when the threads he is talking about (most pertinently this one, and the current one on WATMM) were started by me. also, his grasp of British English is rather poor. |

you're right - my Chrome is being stupid, since that link works just fine in Firefox :( |

I haven't been around for a while so i missed elusive's antics. |
||||||||
|

|
|
those samples are too short and shitty sound quality, dunno how someone is supposed to be attracted to buy the album with that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so don't buy it. Amazon isn't the record label. if you want to wait for better samples, wait. or maybe you'll find somewhere you can download the whole album for free, and then you can decide on whether it's worth your money. or maybe you've written it off as being shit. it's your call. no-one is telling you to buy it. |

I'm here to defend VHS Head's music. I thought it was too gimmicky at first and really didn't like the choppiness. It gave me a headache. But I kept listening to the both albums, "IN THEIR ENTIRETY." Which is, IMO, the best way to listen to his albums. His music really isn't for everyone. I've shared the album with several friends who share common interests in music and they either didn't like it or were unimpressed. Yes, although the VHS sampling is staggering and almost impossible to realize the amount of work and time that was devoted to it, it still feels like it's a bit limiting and at times monotonous. But I still couldn't stop listening to album. Over and over and over again. Became an obsession. So if you don't like it. Don't listen. Give people a chance to make their own decision. From my experience most of you will not like it. Also, try listening to the albums in their entirety. Not the usual internet "one song listen/judgement" which we are all guilty. I only joined this forum to comment on this. Anonymous hating really thrives on the net. |

thank you for signing and sharing your opinion! I dont understand all that discussion about vhs head love/hate, and why is oscillik so rude recently... the only reasonable explanation is vhs being him or a close friend of him |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how am i being rude exactly? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i think you've driven yourself down a cul-de-sac with regards acceptable new music if you think this is any good. it doesn't hit anywhere near their first album. put anywhere in caps for me pls. sorry. no. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i dont know, its like youre getting angry after almost every comment posted... people say they dont like the album, you say nobody force to listen, i critize amazon shit sample quality, you say me not to buy the album... i know xltronic has been historically quite a rude and cinical place, but i think you could be more positive or reasonable or something, i dont know, i just feel you are somehow angry with xltronic and everyone and i dont know why i dont like it |

if you re-read my replies you'll see that i'm calling out such comments as "i think i don't like it. as a matter of fact i think i hate it. and that's even before i've heard any samples! i heard one tune by this guy a year or so ago and it was shit. i really doubt anything's changed." by Advocate, which is completely ridiculous. Really? you haven't even heard this, and you hate it? that's some pre-cog shit right there. I'm more generally annoyed with the attitude of certain people, both here and on watmm. i made the thread to let people know about it. Then there's people make comments about the music that they haven't even heard yet. it's bullshit. |

I listen a lot to "Trademark Ribbons of Gold" but it's about 1 third Liquid Gold to 2 thirds punishing racket; exhausting to listen to in its entirety. I like best the the Mary Anne Hobbes mix (this also goes for the entire output of Team Doyobi). I enjoy Oscilisk getting all grumpy in this thread and it makes me want to write something like "Oscilck's pouty tantrum has put me right off buying the new album and makes me retroactivley hate the old material" |
