This is great! Really refreshing after listening to Confield...they're both good in their own rights... In fact, I've also bought Mike Oldfiend's Incantations which is great mimimalist music.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why the fuck does fucking autechre get mentioned in every fucking thread?!? for fucks sake... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Because the majority of us LIKE Autechre enough to perhaps listen to them... Don't fret being a minority... ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fair enough, but every thread? even one about tubular bells??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i mean, theyre hardly in the same league are they? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or indeed sound alike |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I simply said it, because if I didn't I'd be accused of only liking "simple" and "commercial" music and this thread wouldn't be taken seriously. Fine, let's stick to Tubular Bells. |
||||||||

ok great idea :) well its an amazing album, groundbreaking wouldnt be putting it too mildly i think. 1 musician, 1 million different instruments, the 1st album on virgin records, multi-million seller. what more can be said? genuis. post script - never trust anyone who owns his own airline and flies everywhere by balloon. |
||||||||

|
|
Yeah, true. :) One thing I wasn's sure what you meant: "theyre hardly in the same league are they?"--I think Mike Oldfiend *is* in the same leage, if not more amazing imho. Like you said yourself, Tubular Bells was revolutionary....he was only 17 or so when he recorded it, and it was so amazing. |

I hate everything Mike Oldfield has produced. EVERYTHING. but I hate nothing of his as much as Tubular Bells. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It was groundbreaking because it was so original at the time. It stood out like a musical beacon and inspired many artists to come. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why? because it's too "simple" is it popular to hate him here too, like Moby? (even though I admit I dislike Moby's MUSIC) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you misunderstand me theyre not in the same league - autechre cannot touch mike oldfield. thats what upset me in the 1st place. |
||||||||

(in response to qrter) |

its autechre i dont like, not mike oldfield. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, I agree earthleakage...I never knew that's what you meant. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Autechre and Oldfield are in two different universes...to compare them is to have to compare to their universes... I don't think that's possible...and, quite frankly, is pointless... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wasn't comparing them, was I? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
empirically, it seems you may have been. mentioning them in the same breath you may have well been. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah, i explained why i mentioned them together already :D Anyway, i must be really drunk for posting a Mike Oldfiend topic in the middle of an afx forum. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i must be drunk for being such an arsehole about it :o/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...and I'm just drunk off me arse... ;D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think its a valid post. as daweeze said, it has probably inspired many electronic and non-electronic artists and is one of those records that nearly everyone owns. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
" must be drunk for being such an arsehole about it :o/" ooh, aren't you aggressive? Anyway, back to topic-he has certainly inspired me....I like his lack (or seeming) lack of structure, which I tend to borrow....my tracks develope as they please. |

Do you have "The Bell" and "Sentinel" singles? If so, what do you think of them? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sentinel bores me to tears. even the orb remix does nothing for me. read again: "I must be drunk..." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I=me, not you! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like the Orb remix (though they've done better), but I agree, not Oldfield's best compared to other works... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did you like Tubular Bells III? I thought the new electronica sound added a lot to it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you reckon the cd is worth anything? id consider selling it, i never play it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hated TB2, i didn't risk listening to TB3. how does it compare to the other 2? i got the feeling that he did TB3 because his other new stuff just wasn't selling. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, TB3 is quite good, not quite the original, but better than TB2... |
