I'm just curious as to how people feel about this if
anything at all. The music can be found at the following
location:

www.myplay.com
l:bluelorcets@yahoo.com
p:disturbinglight

be honest..don't tell me you like if you don't. I don't
really need that shit, because honestly I think it's better
than most of the stuff on this board.

I could not find any of the links to your music.


 

Ellies on 2001-08-26 10:42 [#00025809]



when you get into the locker you click on the folder "let
the black satin sea lose me".

if you or anyone else could tell me what you think.
please don't put it's great! or it sucks ass! commentary is
appreciated.
also if you list what types of music (aside from rj) you
like then it will help me to get an understanding where you
are coming from. thanks.

is this a joke? I mean first you say that your stuff is
better than most stuff on this board?! WTF? in what aspect?
musical creativeness (it is original)? production (in which,
well frankly sucks.. sounds like it was recorded in a
bathroom)

I dont mean to be so frank but I dontlike the cockiness of
your post.. and then you present this.. ?


 

Barrett, Syd from Toronto on 2001-08-26 11:02 [#00025813]



i like all kinds of music, i don't have a particular genre i
listen to any more than any other... lately the majority has
been instrumental (anything from godspeed, to mogwai, latin
playboys, martin madenski & wood, and afx, ae, etc.) i do
agree with you that it's better than most of the peoples on
the board. but i think alot of the people here are boring as
hell, or shitty crystal method wannabe's, or just flat out
ripping off aphex.... i don't like to say who, and i won't.
(tho i make it no secret that i think od is the best i've
heard here... other than my own BRILLIANT songs : )

i think it sounds good, but it's not varied enough maybe? i
don't know what words i'm looking for here, and you said to
be descriptive. i don' tknow what you're trying to do
here. i mean to say "what do you think" is hard because when
i listen to it to tell you what i think, i think of things
that I would have done, which might not be something you
want at all. but regardless, i think that you should do alot
more. they sound like a good start to a song maybe. add a
bunch of different drum tracks. throw in some fuckin
violins. whatever. distort them all to hell. dosen't matter.


but that's what i'd do. i'd add alot more to it.

tho i do have those very minimalistic songs as
well.............

regardless, hope this helps.
: )


 

Barrett, Syd from Toronto on 2001-08-26 11:06 [#00025814]



i think fony is being a little harsh, but i do beleive that
the sound quality is suffering for sure. forgot to mention
that.

i don't see anything wrong with thinking that you're better
than others musically. i think that some of the tracks i've
done are alot better than what i hear other people here have
done. but that's just cause i'm proud of what i've done
(kinda) and i don't see anything wrong with that. and on top
of that, shouldn't your music be your favourite? i listen to
mine everyday, at least a few tracks. i mean, you're making
music, exactally how you want to hear it. so wouldn't that
mean you're trying to make the best song you've ever heard
in a twisted sort of way?

tis what i think anyways.......


 

djfony -mike b- from helemano, hawaii -djfony.8m.com- on 2001-08-26 11:12 [#00025817]



hmm... yeah I was a little harsh.... probably because I have
my headphones on while listening and everytime it went to
rebuffer it would cut out and it was pissing me off... but
this does seem like a spam post since this is your first
here. I just didnt like the way you came off on that like.
It sounds like "Listen to this, tell me if its good, or if
it sucks, but who cares I still think its better than most
of the shit around here anyway"

It just doesnt fly by me very well.


 

Barrett, Syd from Toronto on 2001-08-26 11:19 [#00025822]



yeah. i do see your point tho. makes sense. i think that
(some of) my stuff is better than most of what i hear. but i
wouldn't go around saying that to everyone. i don't have a
webpage for people to listen to, and i don't even know if i
want to set one up... might eventually on ampcast......

what's the deal there? on ampcast? how much space do you get
or whatever?


 

djfony -mike b- from helemano, hawaii -djfony.8m.com- on 2001-08-26 11:22 [#00025825]



unlimited space.... $25 a year... and well worth it, and
they CARE about the artists they host!!! WOW!

And if you want you can float on over here and
post a question for "Jim" hes the owner of ampcast and hes
always there. Very cool guy.. You will usually get a
response from him or his brother in less than a day.

i (heart) ampcast

BTW they support any known audio file type and bitrate, and
their cd system is superb compared to mp3.com and others.

Ellies: I dunno about this... masterin/production doesnt
seem too good at all. It sounds... pretty bad I guess.
Sounds like you set up a few mics and recorded it, or
something close to that. And this doesnt really hit me as a
song per say.... uhm I dunno I dont want to bash it all too
much, but its nothing cool to my ears at all. Keep trying.
This is a miss, in my opinion.


 

Ellies on 2001-08-26 12:22 [#00025860]



thanks guys for the opinions..far more feedback than I
expected..even reflex responded when I had tols him to "eat
fuck" in a previous post..this is not a spam..and yes I was
purposely cocky..listen, if you piss someone off and they
tell you they still like your music then you know they
really mean it..I do agree that the sound "quality" sucks
ass, but it can't really be helped. it's not really meant to
have much of a "song" form..This is actually just one of
many types of electronic music I like to do..i just wanted
to see if anyone was intrested in this aspect of my
music..thanks guys.


 

Ellies on 2001-08-26 12:23 [#00025861]



also..syd if you would like to remix one of them feel
free..I am also curious as to what you would have liked been
done as an alternative


 

r3fl3x from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-26 12:39 [#00025863]



Ellies: yes you were a jerk off in that other topic. do be
honest I dont give a shit. but yes it sounds as if you would
go somewhere with that song.. just needs some variation and
some work.


 

Barrett, Syd from Toronto on 2001-08-26 13:03 [#00025864]



Ellies, e-mail me and we'll hook something up. or add me to
your icq list.

Ellies on 2001-08-26 13:04 [#00025865]



which one did you download reflex?
Actually I should correct myself..Light Is Pollution was
meant to have some song form..


 

Barrett, Syd from Toronto on 2001-08-26 13:06 [#00025866]



Ellis, you gonna do that?


 

r3fl3x from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-26 13:08 [#00025868]



Ellies: both songs.. a ok.
