I was in the record store today browsing the selection, and
a guy threw this on... anyway, I heard the first track
(title track), and it was cool, with all the distorted
vocals, drums, and organ-sounds. Anyone have this cd, it's
cylob isn't it?

I really really like this release. There's only three
tracks, but they're pretty cool.

Mr Tenzin, I don't DJ or anything, but the first time I
heard the title track (and What Shall We Do With A Drunken
Sailor for that matter) I immediately thought they'd be good
tracks to open set with, to get things started off right!

the cylob cd 'previously unavailable on compact disc' is a
selection of his earlier work, some of it under the name of
kinesthesia, all of it far superior to the novelty music he
does now (bar cut the midrange as i quite liked that).
needless to say, it comes well recommended

Cylobian Sunset is pretty good, I haven't listened to Mood
Bells enough yet to have an opinion. I Left My Heart In
Syntax Error is the best song off Cylobian Sunset, I think.

it's just gimmicky, make sure you reeeeally want joke techno
music before you plop down money for a cd or two otherwise
you'll feel super ripped off. my favorite song of his,
"rewind", i have on the braindance coincidence compilation
and that should only cost you a mere TEN bucks, you might
just be better off with that instead.

what exactly do you mean by 'joke techno music'?


 

offline titsworth from Washington, DC (United States) on 2002-07-05 23:41 [#00298767]
Points: 14550 Status: Lurker



as in gimmicky, not something you'd actually put on when
you're in the mood for electronic music/idm. just something
you'd put on for a friend, "hey listen to this track, it's
hilarious" or play at a party to achieve the same effect.

The best cylob is cylob's latest effort, i greatly dislike
the candy feel to cylob...but that's reflex records...

What's happened to Cylob? I tuned out around Cylobian
Sunset. Most of his stuff up until then was pretty good if a
bit melancholy. Recently I listened to some more recent
tracks and most of it is "joke techno" as titsworth
described.

Maybe it's "depressed clown" syndrome or something.

Cylob gets slagged a lot on this board, but you should give
anything from Cylobian Sunset or earlier a listen if you
haven't heard it.
