i know this has been talked about before... but with the new movie, Solaris, coming out, it reminded me of Photeks aweful cd. i then realized, that the CD, is in fact in reference to the movie (with the water planet cover) i put the CD in again, for the first time in probably a year or something like that... hoping it was just me not "getting it" at the time... but no. its utter crap. What happened to photek!?!?!?!? WHAT?!?!?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well he was originally a house producer..The dark muscular and brooding Photek was a side step... sad I know:( but I will ask the same of Speedy J what the hell happened on Loudboxer.. A Shocking Hobby is one of those perfect albums..and now this :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but speedy j was crap before ginger i think now it's back to roots you know |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*thinks Speedy J has to pull over* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahha thta must be the lamest speedy j joke ever and the first one i ever heard |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know it's back to basics for him too..sigh ..but I did like some of his plus8 stuff..SOMETHING FOR YOUR MIND for example... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*didn't hear a joke* ..well let's hope it's also the last one.. just got out of bed.. don't know what i'm saying yet |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but he does manage to get that own speedy j sound to all he does |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah true..Loudboxer has some tasty bit crushing moments but it's all enfolded in a blanket of Yawn.... The Funkstorung remix of Something for your mind..is in one word...STUNNING!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha. pull over. i get it :) Uhh yeah I have solaris. It's pretty boring. Tracks 1 and 2 (and 6? are cool though) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he was originally a house producer? weird... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aweful...that means good does it not? Or does it mean good as in bad means good? I'm confused |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then again, harrison ford used to be a carpenter |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a reference point Britney Spears is aweful. |
||||||||
|

I´mm the same bout Solaris. after "Ni Ten Ichi Ryu" i was expecting some banging clinical d n b from Photek. Instead i got boring vocals and constant repetitive beats...... YAWN! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Track 6? the one that goes yeahyeahyeahyeahyeah.... I like that one. And the 'If that don't make you happy' one wasn't so bad but it is a more poppy album. I got my copy for free tho as it was a promo so I can't grumble too much. |
||||||||
|

i feel deceived |

*pats you on the back and adds Photek to the list including Underworld, Chemical Brothers, Muse, Babylon Zoo, Daft Punk and all the rest* :/ |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
ouch but true! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I really want to see the original Solaris by the Russian dude. But George Clooney is pretty hunky, wouldn't mind seeing his version... Photek, eh... indifference. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
id like to see both movies espicially since i met the dude who did the sound design for the score for the new film. fucking genius |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Really, cool... What kind of soundtrack does the film have? The original sounds pretty weird judging by the reviews... pretty interesting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its all like ambient, soundscapes.i think. like, the guy, he designed the sounds used, and someone else scored it. Hans Zimmer i think? cause this guy works at hans zimmers studio: media ventures but this guy is so amazing... 2 weeks after graduating berklee, he got this job. his title is "Creative Sound Designer and Composer" so he does sound desgins, some small scoring, and is in charge of the studio (kinda like the technitian) hes been working there for like 2 years, and has worked on 7 films. its cool, cause it gives me hope... but its depresseing, cause im like, holy shit, i dont think ill ever be that good. he showed us a 2 min peice he wrote on csound (a musical program (synth) that is alll done in code) for 2 mins of music... it was 65 pages of written text! eek! |

Did not like that album very much. Modus Operandi is nice though. A classic in my book. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, and I know alot of people here liked the score to One Hour Photo... this guy also did the sound design on that movie. hes like... freaking 24 or something ...and has worked on so many movies, and is probably rich as a mofo. bah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lucky bastard... I kind of thought it would be some weird ambient or something, doesn't sound like a typical sci fi movie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he also did a segment on Traffic... the scene where micheal D is in the helicopter, flying over the city, and catherine zj is talking to her husband in jail. he didnt do it all, but he helped write that section. fuck. this guy is like my idol. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's mate, and he's bloody great isn't he. I'm pretty sure he did some other tracks on the TRAFFIC soundtrack too which are awesome ambient pieces |
||||||||

I saw the original Solaris on Finnish TV, about two years ago or something. It's very weird and, me being on holiday, I didn't watch the whole thing. I remember long sections with no dialogue and some kosmonaut being questioned about what he had experienced. First I thought it was 2001, but then the VERY special fx kicked in along with the Russian words and I was like, "they copied 2001 for every communist to enjoy." I have later learned, that was not the case. |
||||||||

Sorry to resurrect this thread, just want to say I loved that soundtrack. The guy is a genius. Loved the movie as well, affected me quite profoundly. |
||||||||

Tarkovsky is the bomb yo... he makes films like music... the penultimate!... transcendental style!... *mumbles off into the distance* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Solaris has one of the best soundtracks i've heard, the film is excelent too... i think its one of those films that will be regarded as a classic in the future. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*maybe spoilers* . . .so is solaris heaven or something? that's what i thought |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with clint and pantalaimon. and i'd like to see the original, too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree. the Tarkovsky "solaris" blows the soderbergh "solaris" away. tarkovsky takes the philosophical/metaphysical route, while soderbergh goes for psychology. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not literally, I would say. for some, maybe. I thought the ending in the original "solaris" was more profound in that regard. it got me more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*more spoilers* what is it than? a place where everything you wish comes true? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
solaris is a living planet that can read minds and create matter out of itself, it would seem. it recreates what you want there to be. in first instance it does this to communicate with human beings. it never becomes clear what it wants. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
*spoilers* but there was a reference to michaelangelo's sixtine chapel painting of god giving life to adam that touched me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's nice dear :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just think it would have to beat 2001 in the vatican top ten movies (true story, so ive heard) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, it certainly has connections with 2001, I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"thats nice dear"? what? are you blowing off his observation? i dont think the planet is alive... i think its heaven. thats where clooney and his wife go to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
YEAH MAN, I'M DISSING MARTIJN!!! :P no, I'm saying that's his interpretation. all the facts that the film gives describe what I said. all the rest is what you want to see yourself. I don't know whether it can be seen as heaven. the people start living in their memories - maybe they are happier that way, but it's also kind of sad. which is exactly what I like, btw - it's not an easy choice. like I said, this is more clear and poignant in the original Tarkovsky "solaris", I think. to me the films are not about "heaven" or anything like that, but about the choices you make in life, in how far fate exists, acceptance of mistakes (or not) and most important: memory and how much your life and personality are formed by it. (also, I don't see it as where the Clooney-character and his wife go, but where Clooney goes with a representation how he remembers his wife. which can be a pretty important difference.) |

memory and how much your life and personality are formed by it. good call qrter, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought you menat the operating system, in which case, i agree |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
argh, leave my first name out of this qrter has enlightened me too. i couldnt imagine a planet just doing that without a reason or the story telling that actually. so i thought it was a interpretation of heaven somehow. which might be true. but first of all it's a planet that.. (what qrter said) |

qrter isnt a meany |
