Bogdan Raczynski - Shit or not?

The first bogdan release i ever heard was samurai math
beats. I was blown away. I rushed onto soulseek to download
more and since then i've got -

Bogdan Raczynski - '96 Drum n Bass Classixxx
Bogdan Raczynski - 2222 EP
Bogdan Raczynski - Agent 30 - Love Melodies Nintendo
Bogdan Raczynski - Boku Mo Wakaran
Bogdan Raczynski - Denki Shingon EP
Bogdan Raczynski - Live @ Even Further 1999
Bogdan Raczynski - Teddy Bear Magix EP
Bogdan Raczynski - Thinking of You
Bogdan Raczynski - myloveilove

I'm half way thru downloading "Renegade platinum mega dance
attack party" aswell. But the only thing is - all i'm doing
is searching for something that'll come even halfway close
to the greatness of samurai math beats. Everything else i've
got by bogdan (apart from live@even further and 1 or 2
tracks on the 2222ep) is, to put it mildly, dischordal SHIT.
Even the *MUCH* hyped 'drum n bass classixxx' album i
thought was pathetic and simply headwrecking.

Is there anyone else out there who feels similarily? I still
listen to Samurai at least twice a day, it's still one of my
all time favourite albums.. I just wish the guy could make
music of similar quality, instead of doing what appears to
me as rushing composition (sic) of as much shite as possible
and releasing it to the masses.

Not!

SMB is definately his best album, but there are great tunes
on all his releases, the Rephlex ones anyway.

I just find they use the same instruments on them and the
same weird melody-styles (which become cliched by the time
you've listened to enough of it; they're so similar), and
they don't have the same nicely-structured feel as the songs
on SMB do (listen to miroshiru for example, it's pure
brilliance when he brings back the main first theme @ 4:39
into the song).

I take back what I said though, actually, one or two of the
songs on the denki shingon EP are great ("bleh" for
example..)

I'm starting to only like listening to bogdan on my discman.
And songs I didn't like at first I now love.

I don't know why, maybe my speakers are breaking.

But I love bogdan raczynski's music, it grows on me.

Thinking Of You and Ibiza Anthems 4 are also good.. but the
rest yeah, pretty crap

the first 2 albums on rephlex were definitely his best
(although i haven't heard the new one yet), but i wouldn't
call his music 'shit.' everything by bogdan that i have
heard isn't really very 'pollished' but i think thats what i
like about it, how the music isn't serious but just fun to
listen to.

I think there is a bit more to his music thoguh, than it
just being 'fun'. i think a lot of his personality comes out
in it, something i think is missing from a LOT of electronic
music. you only have to see him freaking out when he plays
live to say that!

my favorite bogdan release is myloveilove. samurai math
beats and boku mo wakaran are really good too. his other
stuff doesn't do much for me though.

i think my favourite release of his is actually Thinking of
You... but i don't think that any one of his albums is good
all the way through... not even close... too many songs
border on normal, unaffecting d'n'b

once.

i think his voice really ruins some track, when its a mental
beat, and he says "darling i love you " or something
similar.

e.g. first track off new album. ruins th emood

Maybe you should 'buy' those albums, you tit. If you like
it, buy it. You're wondering where the new stuff is???
