Eye for an eye is a Soulfly song :s I'm not sure how it's going to sound without DJ Shadow but i will give it a listen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no DJ Shadow? Pff whats the point. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

therre was some unkle rrelease in HMV that cost £25.99 i wonderr what it was, i rreally can't rrememberr now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, i know what you mean. Its like got a green package with pink drawingso n it. I think its an imported mix sessions from James Lavelle, but don't take me on that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that sounds about rright yeah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hopefully it'll be on slsk soon. |
||||||||
|
|

if is to be believed, it should be a damn good album. they're not making much mention that this is an album by elastica's keyboardist but rather emphasizing all the guests.... good idea considering i don't think the keyboardist was even on any elastica releases, so he's pretty much untested waters |
||||||||

im not feeling good about no shadow... if you ask me, he kinda WAS unkle. the stuff before him was just kinda mediocre (heck, even half of psyence fiction was kinda just rehashing stuff) i dont know, whatever... some people will prolly love it, so im glad if they do. |
||||||||

Thats called 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Beats'. Iits a compilation of tracks mixed by Unkle. Lots of exclusive remixes, and its well worth purchasing (3 CD's btw) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good news for me... i loved psience fiction but I would have loved it wiht shadow again interested in that jarvis cocker colaboration... I like pulp a lot |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You got it all wrong. What the point of listening to DJ Shadow without James Levelle...? You do know that James Levelle is the producer on all your favorite Shadow albums... right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i only wish you were joking |
||||||||
|

Reuniting Ian Brown and Mani....that sounds like a good plan, but what James Lavelle will be doing there is a big question. I always saw UNKLE as a Shadow side project, and without him....well, lets just wait and see how it turns out. Now if only somebody could get Ian Brown and John Squire together once again...*keeps fingers crossed* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did anyone hear the UNKLE Vs Slam single, Narco Tourists? That was pretty damn good. What's this about an Elastica keyboardist? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think that's what unkle77.com says, about who is doing the majority of the music on the album. it's not mew though, nor is it mark from the fall.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No DJ Shadow = new UNKLE at the back of the queue |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how's blackalicious doing in that queue? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone heard it yet then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i saw part of the video last night - definately not straightfwd electronica, but then i hardly know unkle so i don't know what to expect. a bit rocky. the video itself is amazing. cartoon stuff with caterpillar/butterfly theme (if my terrible memory is worth anything) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not great it has to be said. BUT I will get it eventually. If I don't download it that is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its nice enough but to try to achieve what they did 5 years ago was near impossible |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i only ordered psyence fiction just yet, man i gotta catch up |
||||||||
|
|

Excellent group them, was listening to the track "Clockwork" by them over a mates house last weekend. Very good live and well worth the cost of entry (they're around the UK at the moment), about £8 to get in. Fortunatley I was guestlisted last time so it cost nadda :D (//gloatmode off) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's been on Soulseek for ages, and I've had it for ages, and I listened to it ages ago, and it's... alright. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so it is just alright? anything like psynce fiction? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i only like the first track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you'll be kicking yourself hard the day you listen to it just think if you bought it when it came out you could've got it as cheap as $7.99 here in the US (i'm sure the UK's had similar sales) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bought it today...saw it there and took it - im glad i did, its quite nice actually |
||||||||
|

|
|
reign is really a great song!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay so fuck all this blabla it'll probably suck talk. This album is great. Really in my top3 of 2003, not a bad track on the album. I like them all. Slight faves: Eye 4 an eye, in a state, invasion, reign. in short:of course it's different than the previous unkle stuff but in it's own regard it's another top-quality release. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this album is pretty mediocre... it's chosen "chill" over trip hop, so we have to suffer through inane vocals, and overdramatized production... it might've been tolerable if it wasn't 2003, and we've long since passed what we have here... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
... but then of course that's just your humble opinion, besides what's wrong with "chill"? Speaking of chill, I've also seen a fair amount of "ambient bashing" here lately, where people post an ambient track they made and then get some lame response, "yeah it sounds good, but you know it's just another ambient track", as if it's too easy to create a decent ambient track, or that it really doesn't fall into the category of music at all. oh yeah, "inside" is also a slight fave on the never never land album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i fucking breath ambient music... there are times when it's all i listen to (ambient, abstract glitch, noise, etc.) i think chill is the most derivative, predictable, boring, commercialized version of ambient-esque music in existence... that said... i don't hate the new unkle album... it's listenable... but when i can listen to many, many other albums that are well above and well beyond what lavelle is doing... i just don't see the point... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(and yes, this is my humble opinion, and i respect anyone's right to disagree with me... ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Glad to see you like it too. And of course it's just mho 2. Can you recommend me some excellent ambient releases from this year? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Glad to see you like ambient too that is :P |
||||||||

tim hecker, philip jeck, kevin drumm, dub tractor, yasume, twine, joseph suchy, desormais, oren ambarchi, ekkehard ehlers, etc. |

There's a special gatefold pop up thing of psyence fiction that costs over £100... I think it has one 12" and one 10" in it. Not sure if you get the cool unkle character transparent inflatable with it or whether that was just a promo item. I got an eye for an eye 12" for £1 brand new in HMV a month back :D |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
did that include the beautiful video? deadeight; thx 4 the tips, will check it out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some of it is pretty noisy stuff... but it's still wicked... just a different way of looking at ambience... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not so far as I remember- I thought that whilst it looked good, there was very little actual content (exclusive or otherwise) to justify the cost. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some... or all of it? (:O |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i listened to this album a couple time and thought it was very boring. nowhere near psyence fiction imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some: kevin drumm, joseph suchy, oren ambarchi... but it's all worth hearing trust me... |
