Just my opinion here, but others seem to share it as well, these remixes arent really too special are they? I mean, lets not kid ourselves. er... some of them were Ok yeah, but wheres the originality. Wheres the fun? I dont understand if these were the best ones what were the others like? |

party pooper :0( |

|
|
sorry. not trying to be an ass about it, just voicing my opinion, thats all, I went into listening to these with an open mind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i completely agree |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't be arsed listening to them so i'm not going to vote.Where's my community spirit eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im not saying they sucked so bad, but none of them seemed so special to me, they all just lack something, or a couple things most of them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is this a compilation of remixes you were listening to, as in a new release? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe you anticipated some really good music like Autechre,but none of us here are hardly as good as them,therefore feeling a little let down? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I mean I hate to say it, but I think this goes to show that EVERYONE can make music, and probably does, but not many are really good at it, yet or ever. Pipe Dream. I Dunno, not saying my electronic stuff was any better, cause it probably wasnt, but I dont make that stuff anymore, I do, but I program over guitars with a band, still do some solo stuff but its very "songy" compared to IDM, more guitar, other people... a band.. a real band. I dunno, it just seems like there was once a phase were everyone was a DJ, and now everyones making tunes with their comp and pirated software... such artists! making remixes that hardly sound good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i concur |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No its artists from this board who have remixed any Autechre track,its a compitition. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I think thats a little of what I thought, expecting something great.... dont get me wrong they were Ok, just wow .. - boring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
about the remixes, that is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes all in all, IDM is a craze that never really caught on popularly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh right i get it now! sorry.. he he |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wouldn't know,as I say I haven't bothered to listen to them. Also I hate compitions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No problem.No need to be sorry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what was i expecting? stuff like this: made by someone who didnt make the top 15, and i think they should have. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't worrrry about it. we all die in the end. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there were some quality mixes that i got to hear that did not make the peoples choice cut.. i think we will all be surprised when we are able to hear all the entries. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly.. thats a completely dope track that i would have picked above some of the other choices.. but ah well.. the moderators piced their favorites fair and square, no use complaining now.. im just really looking fowrd to hearing all of them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the moderators piced their favorites fair and square *sniggers* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeh. i mean, im not expecting them to like what i like. if they liked those tracks, thats cool with me. not going to knock someone elses opinion. but i will try to reinforce my own. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And why might you be *snigger*ing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, to me the sad thing is the Chosen Fifteen lack diversity. they all sound within the same spectrum - all very melodic, very cleancut. I would've liked a wider range. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my real complaint, is that id like to know the original tracks... because without knowing this, we arnt voting on remixes, we are voting on stand alone songs... and i must say many of the remixes are not very recognizable. Its a remix compition... it should be about who does the best REMIX imo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey, you're past the 1000 post mark! Well done. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I actually think I agree with you. Because I recognise a few tracks, and this makes them different to the others for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It should be about which you like the most. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah but that depends on your definition of remixing. to me, the further away a remix is of the original, the more interesting it becomes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dunno, the way this is, and was done wasnt very good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You know why....... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, the competition was motivation for people to focus their musical energy toward a particular task (which was to remix Autechre). Most people who did it were probably fans of AE, and I think everyone who made a track got something out of it because of that, but also because, generally, doing things is better than not doing things. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'doing things is better than not doing things.' is it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ka: ok, yeah ofcourse, but why does that mean that they have to be "not good"? thats no excuse just a bad reason. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah but thats just like... your opinion, man.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, but how can it be more interesting, if we dont even know the source material? it would be more interesting if we knew, so we can see where it went from the original |
||||||||

Anus_: You know and I know that there are clearly examples of where this doesn't apply. What I meant to say, in terms that were too general, is that apathy and cynicism are a popular substitute for not trying. Maybe I should have said that "trying is better than not trying". Reflex: I'm definitely not suggesting reasons for you to like something you've decided you don't like, and instead of saying what I think is obviously true - that some will love what others hate - I will do what you did, and express my opinion, which is that some of the tracks are pretty cool, and that I'm glad to have heard them, and for that reason alone, I find the fruit of the competition worthwhile. It's best not to buy in too much to the "competition" aspect of this. No judge is blessed with THE absolute taste in things. Look at the Oscars. |

OH ALRIGHT THEN... if you want to get all normal and rational about it.. ..you are right. |
