Here's one for dog_belch: i think this is taken from "Honor Beats", to be released on sublight on june 25th |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the breakcore monopoly will crush us all!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

He's a very talented man, just not my cup of tea is all. I'm sure nobody wants to appeal to everybody, a certainly not to some fuddy old bitter twisted throwback like me. Good luck to him, and all who sail with him on those choppy, breakcore seas! |

i just nabbed honor beats from sublight. heard there was gonna be a wisp archive exclusive release. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
it must be sunny and warm today in chile |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
anyother place to get that album? I cannot use paypal at the moment |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeps :D can;t wait. i'm oh-so-proud! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why would you be proud? did you help him make the album? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the wink denoted sarcasm. regardless, one would be proud to host the album and to have sparked negotiations that led to the album's release. without the archive, perhaps these songs would've remained unreleased forever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but what if one doesn't like the music? |
||||||||
|
|

this sounds crispy, but a bit generic |
||||||||
|

me and wisp are playing in detroit in september gonna be bomb diggleszomgs |
||||||||

i was trying to not like this track. but i ended up liking it a lot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I always get the feeling that wisp's songs (not wisp himself) is somehow showing off or bragging to me about something. I don't know, but it makes me uncomfortable. |

Honor Beats doesnt mean Honor My Beats. Or Honor beats in general. Other than that,ive never bragged about my music. dont know where that feeling comes from. But i am writing a song called "Shy to fuk with ur short gun?". |

stop spamming me you hack! |

Wisp has always been crisp with the beats and melodies. Much respect to him, lovely to see someone who've spammed the internet in the past, making moves, releasing and travelling the world with his music. 1 |

He took a chance, and rose to the top of the fucking game! His success is ALL OF OUR success. He showed us that someone, hanging about on the arse end of the Internet, could make it right up into the mainstream Internet. |

It seems that even the best breakcore lacks in melodic composition. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

it's unpretentious snack music, nice & tasty. No xenakis or koenig influences / chaosfunctions, just shit we can bump in the jeep,..no what I'm sayin'. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah.. you mean pop music. |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

hey! I believe I made it quite clear when I said "not wisp himself" when I was referring to the music sounding show-offy. The song--the song song singalong song--sounds show-offy, like there's an image in my head of some spunky teenager dribbling a basketball all fast and tricky-like. I'm not talking about wisp smirking at his computer sipping a bottle of mountain dew thinking about how phat his beatz are. No, that's NOT what I'm saying, no no no no no no maybe |
||||||||

this sounds like a Welcome to Your New Compaq Presario with Windows 98 Tour demonstration song thingy. i don't know why anyone would deliberately listen to this sort of music... but to be fair, i have just been listening to a great heresy 7" so maybe i am biased on this one... |

I see what you are saying. Although, i am doing that right now(smirt+soda). And i dont like basketball. edIT makes me think of someone doing dribbles. great producer. just lots of trickery. I dont like basketball. PS Heresy sux. IMOIMOIMO |

Hey I really like this track, yeah, stop bitching y'all |

Hate to disappoint my fellow playa hatas but this is a pretty impressive track. Great propulsive feel. I rate it 3.9 out of a possible 5 turduckens - could have been a tad shorter and had more harmonic variation - I know how it is, you come up with a great arpeggio and you just want to noodle over it all day. :D |

I like the track. imho we should show some more support for our fellow forum users and less jelousy |

i'm glad to see some old-school wisp haters come around to his grand sound. |

It can be difficult to make an honest assessment of an artist's contribution when it is attended by such a distasteful gaggle of sycophants. Know what I mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I do. I hope you're referring to WATMM, and not myself or xlt.. In defense of myself, I may laud him with compliments, but i'm just fanatical and far from sycophantic - i don't think i've said a kind word about NRTHNDR (certainly not, at least, as much as i did about humpelndenbeats), which goes to show i've still got my critical faculties intact when listening to his music. as for xlt, i think he's been met with more criticism and insult here than anywhere else. apologies if this post is completely irrelevent and missing-the-point, but i'm just a very paranoid person recently, and all too aware of the disliking towards me on xlt.. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

yeah, everyone who doesn't like the music he makes is really just JEALOUS of him. you've got it straight there. that's exactly the sort of dumbshit comment that turns people off to listening to this music. i'm not going to like certain music just because someone from the scene made it. that's stupid. as always, i wish wisp the best with his career and his music, and hope his success continues (yes, even though he can't appreciate good metal). |

I listened to it. 3 out of 5 Stoolflans for sounding like a professional bit of Drukqs-lite. |

I didn't say everyone, but especially on xlt people can be a bit harsh for no reason. ok maybe jelousy isn't the right word. |
||||||||
|
|

I just dont understand why certian xlters feel that all music has to be groundbreaking to have any merit |
||||||||

read some of my recent posts about some of my favorite artists (jello biafra, mike patton, vsnares) and then ask yourself where the double-standard lies. i'm just as mean when i'm talking about any of them being shit, so i don't see any problem with what i say. jelousy isn't the right word, no. it is spelled, "jealousy" and there's no backing out of your asinine comment now. you've already said it, why don't you just admit you're completely wrong and a presumptuous fuckhead? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think everything has to be groundbreaking, but I do think certain ... micro genres have been done a bit to death. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sheesh, and people go on at me about being an obnoxious prick on xlt.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, he confirmed my statement about obnoxious and harsh replys for no reason. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
admit it, it's not that it's been "done to death" or that it's a "micro genre" that you dislike it. what type of music hasn't been "done to death"? metal? string quartet? opera? zydeco? hip hop? you just don't like it. when you tell us you love something, we don't browbeat you demanding to know why you love it. you love B12, try telling me that's not been "done to death." |

jeez, just because he suggested that some people were jealous of his success doesn't mean that he means everyone who doesn't like it is simply jealous. somebody, email arf a link to rage-a-holics anonymous... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not browbeating anyone, I freely admitmy views are at best arbitrary and fuelled by bitter and bitterness. And my skewed estimation of my own comedy value. However I feel some "genres" are more enduring, or they're more like, I don't know, blueprints from which you can work outwards and become.. other things, say Techno or Orchestral Shit. But, and I'm not saying anything about Wisp here, but how long can you do micro-house, glitch, drill'n'bass, electroclash... things that have developed from other, grander themes, but .. as in nature, you know, not every combination is a strong line, and should DIE. |

I think of BOC-clone music as a microgenre. I personally don't want to hear anymore of it, it has been done before and was done better. As for wisp, I think he's got a lot of great work, and all of it is characteristically Wisp, at least I think so, I just don't really like it. I'm also jealous of his success, and cannot help but grudge him and his music, especially when he makes something I really like (which has happened) in conclusion, fuck you wisp! you little vst toting faery spirit |

You're ignoring the fact that IDM is objectively, quantifiably 99% wretched crap. You, as a scientist, should know this. :D Any genre where the barrier to entry is a cheap computer and a weekend spent learning pirated software is going to result in massive shit-churning. If there were thousands of naive messageboard geeks making zydeco, that would suck pretty bad too. So when wispy comes along and makes IDM that has merits, it quite rightly takes some people a while to grudgingly give it the recognition it deserves. |

ah sorry, i didn't actually mean to say you were browbeating anyone on this particular occasion. it seems to me that the only measure of endurance is interest, and there are still quite a few people whose interest is fueling these "microstyles." i'm not sure anything will be allowed to die, internet + nostalgia = eternal life. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm sorry, I don't hear the merits. I just hear something that has been done to death. that doesn't imply that I only want to hear groundbreaking stuff, but I want to hear something with some form of character at least. I just can't hear this supposed 'wispness'. |
