Slightly embarassingly self indulgent at times? Sure. But when its workin' it's a virtual handjob. Good album. Bad Person: me. Drunk: yes. Hiccuping: Yes. Idiot?: Yes I am a bad drunkard idiot who is hiccuping. Havent posted here since they rezzed the JC. So Instead I will... nope.. come to think of it I wont do anything. Gizzard lips! |

I would like it more if he produced as well as he produced D.Y.K.S and GoPlastic. It's got great ideas, but there's somethin wrong with the overall "sound" and I can't place what it is. |

Poor mastering, bad mixing. Some neat tunes, though. |

what does, "rezzed the JC" mean? |
||||||||
|
|

hated the album at first, grown to quite like it. yeah, the poor production put it off initially for me, too. |

i find myself turning up songs on this album a few notches more than any other album. jeezous yesterday was fuggin great drive up north...it never left my cd player. |

I know what you are saying about the sound. It's kinda one demensional. Even though his sound is rooted in layering many different events. I love his stuff. My second favorite, but yes, bad mixing job or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe it's cause his drum sounds are acoustic kits. They don't get as pronounced as say the pounding percussion in drukqs. He also doesn't do much thick synthy stuff either, lately. Mostly thick reverb which can make things flat. |
||||||||
|
|

poor mastering...???!? poor mixing...??!?? i think the overall sound is what he(they) wanted, yes you have to turn it up more than all the other overcompressed album that are so loud your hearsd are bored after 20 minutes i find the sound on ultravisitor very fresh and mastered, there is headroom for the sound effects to rip tru your bones there is a lot of it that sound so empty yet powerfull, like toward the end of 50 cycles what you find poor mixing/mastering is to me creative mixing/mastering for once... end of rant ps: i don't like half the tunes on it but you can't say it's badly produced |
||||||||

Ok, not bad mixing. I don't know, really. I love his stuff. He's really excellent. |

Tom knows what he's doing with sound on his albums. Maybe he's not as interested at the over-produced latest dolby aucoustics as a lot of other electronic haeads. He's a bloody musical genious and yous knows its!!!! He got slated a lot for the DYKS "Alive in Japan" CD. Never understood what the problem was here. Its fanrastic! A live treat from the place Tom most likes to play. |

1:42 Ultravisitor Greatest fuking part ever. That damn melody is so far tucked under those snare hits...grrrr, but man i love it! |
||||||||
|

I think the production sounds fucking awesome. it's the highlight of the album for me, I think everyone is confusing multiple organic sounding layers for mess wishy washy editing, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
iambic 9 poetry is my favorite melody on the album. Maybe my favorite track despite the lack of bells and whistles. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
reverbs can make things sound wishy washy. Pros only like to put it on things in the peripheral sounds. Not things you want up close. So. Sp doesn't care about those conventions. |

"what you find poor mixing/mastering is to me creative mixing/mastering for once..." God, I knew someone would say this. I enjoy creative and interesting production tricks. Arab On Radar, early Ruins, Nick Forte, This Heat, etc. Their stuff sounds really rough and that's part of the reason why I like it. Even RDJ Album sounds pretty rustic and nasty in places. I think it's good. I just don't like it on this album. "Tom knows what he's doing with sound on his albums. Maybe he's not as interested at the over-produced latest dolby aucoustics as a lot of other electronic haeads. He's a bloody musical genious and yous knows its!!!!" I don't think he's a musical genius. I do think he's very good at what he does, though. |

ooooh THAT'S what it is!! silly everyone! |

|
well it was meant to sound live i believe but well i just don't like that sound. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the parts that matter are really clean and crisp though, the bass parts of the tracsk have been mastered f**king brilliantly, nice and clear, the beats and synth pads are the only parts that sound like they could have been recorded on a $20 mixer and a tape deck, but the details in the chaos is still really really sharp and crunchy, which leads me to beleive that he has done it for effect, I don't tihnk it's mastered badly, so much as meant to sound that way, freeform does a similar thing, and I surely don't think that he master his albums badly.. |
||||||||
|
|

overall: poor some great tunes: yes live feel to it : not total: + - |

steinbolt. that is all. |

well, then, 'nuff said. now lets move on to actually listening to great music instead of debating its greatness. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fair enough, no problem with that... just don't say "poor mastering, bad mixing" then, it's confusing as to what you really think good day everybody |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's all just subjective opinion anyway |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...but it's still got tetra sync. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i find myself getting bored with t sync, district line ii that is where its at, what an f ing track. Mr. Jenkinson, can you please sum up go plastic in 11 minutes sure no prob. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its the live sound to the album that makes it work i think. Too many albums these days sound far too pollished. Ultravisitor works because it sounds more raw in my opinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i sort of get the "district 2 sounds like Go Plastic" idea but i don't think its a really sound one. First off i love that tune, probably my absolute fave on the album but its structurelly very different from the GP heavies. I can't even imagine mixing it that well with a GP track cos the sound layers are very different - the drums being more in then background. GP jungle songs are very up front and obvious with a definite "catch" or 2.. a melody, or jungle meltdown sequence or something... where i think Districtline 2 has a ghostly distant quality all on its own. If i had to compare D2 to another >[] track it would be with "my fucking sound" as they both have an unearthly abstract feeling that attacks you from an obtuse angle..... and tickles your spine....love em! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not saying that d2 sounds as if it was on gp, it still sounds like a ultravis track, but, its of the same style. |
