I have a cover of Venus In Furs by Spong. I bought it for a laugh but it wasn't as crap as I wanted it to be. |

hahaha if i had to choose between the velvet underground and boards of canada it would be BoC saying bye bye |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wouldn't have considered this song "epic" at all actually... maybe i have a wrong definition; what's "epic" to you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im still trying to think of something similar but i can only think of a silver mt zion as sounding anything liek that and thats pretty far off lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no surprise there..you seem to be a man of taste. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
remarkable i suppose.. |

Their music is style over substance. And what style! |

style overr substance, hahaha. oh lorrd. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really like em cant say more than that, and if it wanst for them we wouldnt ahve alot of the great bands we did i mean christ autechre are technical jiggery over substance |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wouldn't call it epic eitherr. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Exactly. LP5 was their last record in my opinion. Then they went investigating their own arsehole. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahs :D still i do like the velvet underground and venus in furs imo is AMAZING i really like that track. Tolstoyed... Listen to Slowdive - Dagger |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it might be "i'm set free" from |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
love this song and that whole album... ps - the melvins did a very weird version of this song as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i need to hear that, infact i need to hear some melvins (im listening to fantomas at mo and only melvins i heard wa sthe millenium gig melvins fantomas big band) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i should really talk to you a bit more about these rock classics some day :) taff, dagger sounds nice, but i really like that sort of psychedelic, misterious touch in the venus of furs..not that im looking for something exactly like that, but something a bit more rich musically perhaps..hmm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yer i guessed as much dagger was the closest thing i could think of too hand |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's that weird pre-throbbing gristle droning viola-playing on venus that really make it surrealistic and weird. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i always loved pink floyds great gig in the sky for its sureal vocal solo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, this isn't going anywhere..any other depressing, psychedelic songs then..where's ophecks when you need him.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, how did i miss the second line of your first post? i guess i got carried away thinking about venus in furs... uhm... hgm... i'll try and think of one, but i'm drawing a blank. have you heard of this band called sonic youth, btw? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually yes, but im not really really familiar with them. maybe it's time i check them out properly. i know this guy that probably has like 50 gigs of their various bootlegs and stuff.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
imo, their most depressing/melancholy works are Daydream Nation and Sister. this could be disputed, but that's my personal feeling on them. their earlier works are more no wave influenced (though nowhere as fucked up as real no wave), and their 90's stuff is more pop-oriented. my own favorite SY albums are EVOL, Bad Moon Rising and Experimental Jet Set... evol and sister are both good starting points... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cheers, i'll check out those two first..i think i have the experimental jet set thing.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Post-rock's string stuff hsa to give everything to VU&Nico. That and detuned guitars played with screwdrivers. Well, the Bob Dylan outtake of Desolation Row from Bootleg Series Vol. 7 is dated from mid-1965 and it contains everything that would be found a year later with the VU. Knowing the connection back in those years between Dylan and Warhol, it's no surprise. :) So influence to Dylan, more principally Michael Bloomfield. I love Sister Ray :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm wondering what the hell style over substance means when it comes to music... anyhow. i wouldn't call this song epic, but i would definitely say it's got this really great atmospheric quality to it... everything about it seems to evoke one very creepy place... it seems like this sort of thing must have been pretty influential on people like tricky (or other artists who influenced tricky)... but that's pure conjecture... maybe what i really mean to say is that i find it similar. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, personally i feel this song is much heavier, colder, spookier to any tricky stuff..tricky doesn't have this mysteriousnes in his songs..could have something to do with being 30 years older than tricky's music.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Tolstoyed if you want an epic try The Diamond Sea (by Sonic Youth so that´s two hits in one strike) which is a 21 minute whirlwind! Possibly the greatest track ever ;) It´s on Washing Machine, which is one of my favourite albums by sy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cheers..i'll check that one out! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:) other minor epics: Smashing Pumpkins - Porcelina of the vast oceans Tool - well just about everything, haha but if you try one song by tool, try Third Eye eh.. agh all I can think of is obvious ones :/ But I´m jealous of you for not having heard Sonic Youth :) If you like them you have a long road before you littered with great music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i have a couple of sonic youth records on original even, but i was never that much into them..i mostly know their later stuff which i don't like and im not familiar with their early stuff so i hope there's a big difference :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh and for another Pumpkins epic: Drown. The full version lasts about 8 minutes and it´s as psychedelic as they ever got (and sadly very early on in their career). But I´ll quit whining about the Pumpkins now; you probably don´t even like them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i used to like pumpkins..back when i was into pop music, and they seemed a bit nuts so that was nice..but im not so sure about the music part :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There is a big difference imo! The older stuff is much more vital and energetic (and weird) and rocks a lot more, at times. I recently got the reissue of Goo (1991 I think) and it is superb; it made me lose interest in their later work a bit. Although I quite like them old rockstars in their fifties. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, try SP - Siamese Dream for the ultimate poprock album (and it´s got some great epic songs too, btw) that´s what I appreciate it for. I used to play it every day when I was 15. Ah good times... That uncannily perfect crunchy guitar sound... Damn. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
excellent..i already downloaded 3 of those albums r40f recommended, so i'll be getting into that now. i like thurston moore's newer solo stuff a lot though! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i might have that one, but im not so sure im still into their music. obviously i think of them a lot better than nine inch nails but it's still in that silly vein that doesn't do anything for me.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I haven´t heard any of it to be honest! I think they are collaborations? Heck, I´ll check it out :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you should..perhaps start with the one he did with my cat is an alien. brilliant record! |
||||||||
|
|

Thanks! |
