anyone else agree? I fail to see what is so completely amazing about this album, sure its good but not amazing, maybe ill have to listen to it more |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree, I think astrobotnia is overrated. I didn't like those mp3's on rephlex.com that much at all. So astrobotnia part 1 is probably overrated in my opinion! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was expecting more i'll admit -- it's nice and everything, but not mindblowing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i actualy quite like it especialy second track-i think the one that comes before the track which goes "i want to kill everyone" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Astrobotnia is GREAT! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which tracks in particular? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm bored of that satan is our pal track - it sounds like it should be given to a duff metal band -- it just sounds so banal |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all tracks in those mp3 samples from rephlex. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"sweden" is my favorite. But i can understand what you mean, heaps of hype around the trilogy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you haven't bought it phobia? GASP! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You're just saying that to rile up Rec^H^H^HThad, aren't you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i have bought it.... what i meant was, all tracks in the samples are excellent, just to point out some specific tracks for you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you mean recycle? that's the nearest name i got from your cryptic reply!! has he indicated a love for this track!? |
||||||||
|

Astrobotnia pt.1 is great, this album has a special "lunar" feeling inside. I think he has been done inside a spaceship lost in the universe near Alfa Centauri or Tau Ceti. My dream? I'd like to listen this album with a very great hi-fi stereo inside a planetarium... wouldn't be a great idea? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||

|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think the "spacey" element to it is nothing new at all -- nothing original, inmy opinoinoinoinoin |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he didn't say it was new, did he? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, and neither did i -- but it would have been nice if they had approached it from a fresh angle |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Who said that Astrobotnia is original or innovative? I like it for the special spacey-ambient sensation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for what it is worth i think the cutting up of the apache break IS pretty fresh and technical in part1. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My thoughts exactly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pt 2 rocks. There are some sounds in there that sound straight out of metroid, I fucking love that part. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i've only heard the mp3 part 1 and as i mentioned before, i don't see what everyone is so excited about, so i agree b3n. the music is certainly nice, but not groundbreaking |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It is very cool, not overatted at all i love it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The samples on the Rephlex site were unimpressive. Run of the mill braindance - good but not exceptional. b3n is right IMO. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm afraid that, as i didn't download the mp3s and saw lots of people saying how amazing and great it was, i thought "well, this must be some amazing groundbreaker to have generated such a fever!" so indeed i led myself into a blinder -- no need to pile on top of me and drop the friendly guards just because i didn't say it was innovative or original |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think on the whole ppl here could be more critical of the music that's being released |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I think so too, I wasn't too impressed with global goons new album but people raved about it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
astrobotnia is SAW II meets SAW 85-92, meets Go plastic meets BOC. so yeah i don't think it's overrated |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

what do U all expect ? have you *EVER* heard something talked up turn out as good as you'd hoped or even EXPECTED ? Its human nature to expect something new round the corner to be that elusive perfect concoction, just what you've always searched for; but it never is. But once you get over your initial dampened expectations, things slowly *GROW* on you. All hype renders true appreciation impossible. Thats why its better when U uncover something unexpectedly, same in love, in friendship, art & music .. thats just my view, don't mean to rant :) |

just downloaded and listened to all 3 parts [ just to see what all the fuss is about] and,well,I liked them ,dont know how you could say overrated as this type of music is hardly ever going to get on top of the pops,& needsmore people to listen to it[ so maybe eventually it will get on top of the pops]blah blah blah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bought part 1 and it sounds well good - you can here all the detail and the tracks missing off the mp3's are ace |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think its over-rated as a whole album, but i do think the "i want to kill everyone..." sample is way over-rated.... its not as fascinating as everyone makes out, and to be honest its getting annoying having that posted everytime Astrobotnia is mentioned! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it's the most "pop" and obvious track - tbe other ones come up with new suprises every listen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
astrobotnia > ...well, 95% of the music i have heard so far L:/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, OK. except it doesn't match any of them in any department |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that's the case with the bulk of the 'other' idm musicians, ie besides autechre, aphex twin. imo. they add nothing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, whats so special bout Astrobotnia !? Its good, but nothing special, and honestly I think the whole Drill N Bass stuff is outdated........ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i personally think it sucks...i give it a 3. it's poor. i can't stand the blantent overusage of pads. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I prefer 2 as well...but part1 has very nice nostalgic feel to it..I dont mind it at all..it's like revisiting early WARP... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
astrobotania part 1 sux, no wonder no one wants to claim responsibility, and you ppl are afriad to share it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
boo hoo you hypocritical twat! you stated it in your post too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really ? it sounds realy fresh to me ...as i said buy it and you hear all the detail the mp3's a re shit quality also i'd hardly describe it as drill and bass it's too varied in styles .. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fresh? it doesn't sound fresh - it IS a nice retro CD - i've heard #2 is much livelier.. umm, message over |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow I never knew this'd be so popular, keeps cropping back up! And no, I don't think its fresh.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I listened 2 the mp3z and must say that I wasn't impressed. 2 much old breakz,.I recognised funky drummer and apache etc etc. It didn't move me,.and I expected more,. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so....what exactly is astrobotnia anyways? i saw the cd today and looked at it but I still dont know. is astrobotnia the artist? or is it a collaboration? |
