how does cyclob sound like?
whats his best album?


 

Loogie from UK on 2001-09-13 00:13 [#00031190]



My fave is Cylobian Sunset. Pure electronic quirky bliss.


 

.mk. on 2001-09-13 00:16 [#00031191]



ok

i should explore other artist, before cyclob

what do you suggest me?



 

.mk. on 2001-09-13 00:19 [#00031194]

Like many artists, cylob differs album to album. The only
album that really struck me as good was Lobster tracks. It's
a small quirky collection of videogame beeps mixed and
composed by a lobster. Cylobian sunset is a bit dated, but
has some fairly nice stuff... I havn't really heard it that
much.

cylob is probably my favorite electronic artist after afx. i
definitely recommend him :)
he's got just the right amount of electro nintendo like
bleeps and stunning original beats

If you can get ahold of Industrial Folk Songs then do.

Cylob's music is pretty monotonous and silly. There are much
better artists out there.

Check out µ-ziq. There is a larger selection to choose
from, and a lot more versatile an artist. Or DMX-Krew. He
kind of has the goofiness of Cylob, but is a better
musician.

However, I am more inclined to promote artist like Autechre,
Jega, Brothemstates, Boards of Canada, *Leafcutter John*,
myself, and Bit_Meddler. They are much more... innovative?

Living in the 1980's

Gonzola from stockholm on 2001-09-13 21:42 [#00031585]



If you want some rephlex stuff i'd suggest Railway raver,
Ovuca, Bogdan Razcynski and Cylob(best album is "Lobster
Tracks" imo).


 

tune*mx on 2001-09-13 21:49 [#00031586]



try Two Lone Swordsmen too. The latest album of TLS is
simply a genius! (Further Reminders)


 

Barrett, Syd from Toronto on 2001-09-13 21:51 [#00031587]



i haven't seen them mentioned here yet. two lone swordsmen
rock.


 

plaidzebra from midwest you ess on 2001-09-15 01:22 [#00032046]



global goon on rephlex is good. lots of people are buzzing
about proem. merck records comp
"squadron" is very good. cylob is pretty weak, imo. early
stuff (mostly as kinesthesia) is pretty much by the numbers
techno, hasn't aged well. newer stuff is herky jerky
electronic without any clear compositional focus, just lots
of twists and turns. no real melodies, as i recall. kind
of reminds me a little of the likeatim stuff on rephlex,
which you should check out if you like cylob. 09 is an
artist to watch, check out some compilations on schematic
records with a track from 09: "lily of the valley" and
"house of distraction" though the best schematic comp is
probably
"ischemic folks". for a gentler, boards of canadaesque
pastoral sound try mum, a band from iceland, album
"yesterday was dramatic today is ok". ps it does not sound
like boards of canada, but appeals to the same aesthetic.
