I like the AUTOMATOR & DEL THE FUNKY HOMOSAPIEN but im not
sure about the other vocals they sound too pop/alternative
rock. I dont dig guitars, didn't really notice any guitar
heavy songs, but i think i did hear guitars. Thats why i
like IDM, hiphop, drum&bass, because they use very little
guitar in electronica genres.

i take that back, i surely enjoyed eastwood when i first
started hearing it. course, it got played until i couldn't
stand it.

yea, clint eastwood was the jam until it got played out. del
is one of my favorite emcees. as for my list, even new
genious (brother) is pretty good if you're in the right
mood. not a bad little album.

Buy their album and tell me if you feel the same way, all
the songs are different from the others, Good fucking sound.
They're the shit. The G-sides are fucking great too
they're web site is awesome too, i would love to see them
live. The whole story behind Gorillaz is fucking sweet too.


I found myself defending a lot of shit here, two different
worlds I guess.

g-sides is good but it should be cheaper, it's a mere 30
min. as for gorillaz live, they've gotten rotten reviews cos
they hide behind a screen wizard of oz style. the screen has
animation projected onto it, and it's not even cartoons -
it's like fractal design crap. i think it was a mistake to
tour, it hurt their rep. the only member of the studio group
gorillaz who even tours is damon albarn.

Yes on Gorillaz G-sides Faust is a badass song, I love it,
really aphex trippy kinda thing. As for the live stuff, I
havent heard anything bad, good stuff for trippin though. =)

that guy from Blur, and so that kinda ruins it, but the
samples they use are very catchy!!

if you like automator and del...
try:
Deltron 3030
Lovage
Handsome Boy Modeling School
Automator's solos stuff
Automator produced stuff
old Del the Funky Homosapian

and one of my personal favorites...
Del with Dinosaur Jr on the Judgement Night soundtrack.

damon albarn is a ponsey middle class woofter whos dwindling
indie britpop career took a nosedive as the ecstacy
generation got hip to the new sounds of electronic feel good
music (as opposed to that annoying crap played by blur)

Damon then decided to buy up a load of music kit and session
musicians and and has thus created GORRILAS!
at least hes making money i suppose filthy elastica loving
tophat monacle wearing toffee nose indie bastard!

have i stated my point clearly enough GORRILLAS BLUR DAMON
ALBARN = ABSOLUTE CUNTY EXCRETIA!

I read an interview with DJ Shadow yesterday. He fell out
with Dan the Automator over an album of Bollywood music.
Shadow played a few drums on it and Dan went and marketed it
as a collaborative effort, trying to cash in on Shadow's
name.

of Deltron 3030 is good.

New Shadows album? Old news mate, I'm over and done with it.
It's better than Entroducing (that i hated) but still half
of it is shit. Sorry to hurt your feelings, BTW. Half of it
is him just doing some romantic crap (even with some dude
singing, OH THE HORROR).

doesn't like Endtroducing. Clean your ears out mate and cut
out that Cannibal Corpse nonsense. Its just a lot of noise.

Oh, we're starting to call each other names, are we?
Disrespecting each other's tastes in music, are we? What can
I do? Entroducing just bores me to death and is incredibly
cheesy in parts, I'm the only person I know that feels that
way, but I can't force myself to like it, and I've tried...

You've got to try harder. Nah, fair enough. Its just my most
played and favourite album ever. I don't know anyone who
nver liked it. Oh, well there was one guy, but he's a total
cunt and buys shit like hardhouse, Phats and Smalls and crap
big beat. He's a rock fan who's crossed over but got lost in
the quagmire of crap dance music the fool. He's also a total
bigot. Sorry I'm rambling here.

Uhm, no, no, this is a good description of me actually, I'm
a metal fan whose hair wouldn't grow so I'm pretending to be
listening to this electronic thing instead. Except I missed
Phats and Small who played/DJed here some 10 days ago

handsome boy modeling school and deltron 3030 are two of my
favorite albums.

anyway, automator didn't exploit shadow from what i
understand - the liner notes don't even mention the name "dj
shadow", the drums are credited to "dj josh davis." in my
opinion that's the opposite of exploiting him.

and archie: i read that he just did some mixing of a song or
two, not actually produced anything. i mean liam howett may
not be a very interesting producer but he is in essence
prodigy, not the singers and dancers.

and melted. Also,Damon Albarn(and Robbie Williams when we're
at it ),should both be thrown in a very deep hole.

blur's 13 is another one of my favorite albums, and i don't
even like blur. it's their only album i own and probably the
only one i'll ever own. it's just a phenomenal disc, much
more interesting than their pop stuff. choice track:
"caramel"

Yes, jonesy, you are right, I read that too in Jockey Slut.

Meho: I can't understand why you don't like Endtroducing,
its one of my favourite albums, but of course I respect
that..

titsworth:Automator doesn't have to whack Shadow's name all
over the credits to exploit him, it was the way it was
marketed in the press etc.

i wanna read that jockey slut interview on the real. is it
on the web yet? i am not familiar at all with how it was
marketing, i just read about the album credits and shadow's
role in it was downplayed if anything. but as i said, i
don't know how it was handled by the label... which label
was it on, automator's 75 ark label or another? cos if it
wasn't 75 ark it might not be automator's fault afterall.

as for automator's stuff being cheesy, yea sometimes it is.
that's why you don't really see him sought after many
serious emcees. i think most of the rappers on HBMS were
prolly pulled in by prince paul who is a much more
respectable hip-hop producer. i think automator is immensely
talented but he needs to do some more serious shit with
rappers. it won't be on the collabo he's doing with el-p cos
that's an instrumental album. kool keith as much, as i love
him, is and will always be just a goofball. del isn't a joke
emcee by any means but his flow is too relaxed and jovial to
give off any kind of "authentic hip-hop" feel on the deltron
3030 album (tho "magnetizing" off HBMS is blazing). i wanna
hear automator work with some serious rappers like talib
kweli, pharohe monch, gza, ghostface, etc.

Shadow says in the interview that he was just hanging in the
studio and got roped into playing a bit. I think it was
pushed in the press releases that come with promos in record
stores. I saw a copy in my local record store and they put
description stickers on most stuff. The sticker said it was
a collaborative effort. So...

I don't doubt Automator's talents but as regards his
integrity he sounds like a bit of a twat.

Working with Damon Albarn is a bit of a twatty thing to do
anyhowz.

Watch your tongue, young man. Automator did a lot more
versatile stuff than Shadow. I don't like shadow but i
respect him, but I still respect automator more. His
bollywood stuff is something that I would like to see shadow
touch, ha. As for tits' comments, well, Kool keith might be
a bit of a prankster but Dr Octagon and his colab with
Kutmasta Kurt were both awesome.
