By Cut Chemist & Shortkut... Now admittedly there is only one idea/loop in this that is really good and the vocal about the bands from the periodic table is just padding (and in spite of this it's still too short), but this is an absolutely fantastic track. Some of the most "listenable" turntabilism, even moreso than the X-ecutioners IMO. |

I've heard it. I can't really remember it, nor can I remember being particularly impressed by it. I'm still yet to hear a decent track made by a turntablist (in the strictest sense of the word, Q-Bert, Mixmaster Mike etc). |

Yes, that's whats so good about this, it's actually a good track rather than just being technically impressive... |

such sacrilege.. *strips you of your avatar* turntablism isn't classic songwriting but it sure ain't garbage either |

Hehe maybe I deserved that. Seriously nothing against DJs as a whole. But I have Wave Twisters (the album) by Q-Bert, and I like about 5 seconds on the whole thing. I love turntablism as an art, I have the utmost respect for turntablists and everything but this album (and I can safely say most other albums of this kind) is so boring. IMO. |

turntablist have yet to properly create a scratch that creates an emotional response. they can create awe, with either speed or skill (or both), but could never rival an orchestra or even a polysynth! shame really. the turntable is a suplementary instrument, which cant really lead a song. dont get me wrong, im a tablist myself, granted im not qbert, but have you ever heard a scratch that made you feel a deep emotion? |

"turntablist have yet to properly create a scratch that creates an emotional response" that's unfair.. even coming from a fan and practicioner that's like saying "i've never heard a good country song, they must not exist" "have you ever heard a scratch that made you feel a deep emotion?" yep. dj shadow's endtroducing is full of them (and yes i mean the scratches). plenty of dj's can do this, in instrumental and vocal hip-hop. |

im not saying that scratching is rubbish or anything like that, but ive even read an interview with qbert where he says it would be better if someone could create a scratch which could create an emotional response. on that album (entroducing)for example lots of it is from the samples and things used, not specifically the scratch technique used. for example using the generic aaaahhh sample in place of some others, the effect would be lost. I hope you get what im trying to say. kid koala kinda gets the closest,but i dont think a turntable could really rival some other instruments in that respect, but its not a traditional chromatic instrument, it can however do things schuuuuuuuwp-wip-weeep-weoouuuu-wikiwikiwiki-whaaaaa-wooooo that synths couldnt, like. ooooo-wiwiwiwiwiwiwihaaaaa. (say it out loud perhaps):) i own entroducing and some of the stuff is good on it, but i think you will find that scratches cannot cover the whole spectrum of emotions, that other instruments could do. while im moaning about turntables, one of the things that annoys me is i cant play chords on my decks, theyre essentially monophonic. doh! basically what they do, they do best, and what they dont do, they sort-of do, but not very well. okay?! |

i know what you mean and in some cases i agree it's the source/sound used, but i think in many songs like "napalm brain", "midnight", and the "WDYSLL?" tracks shadow DOES use a scratch technique that emotionally resonnates.. we can agree to disagree though. btw i almost used kid koala as another example.. he's great for the record i think the turntable is a very cold instrument because it's not even meant to be one (and yep they're monophonic! very limited range for sure.. hehe, no range more like it).. but i still think there're a select few who can do really human things with it, not just show off. hey have you ever seen cut chemist and nu-mark put violin and cello bows to the turntable.. they do some pretty ka-razy stuff live. |
