Just heard the shadow huntaz, and it is BALLS! I don't know which was worse, the rappers or the music. Funckarma have released under tons of names and tons of labels, all which pretty much suck....I hear there is a warp release coming up...now, do they really deserve that? skam was bad enough. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
"do they really deserve that?" Nope. and now for my question. Is warp losing taste and credibility by changing the overall style of artists that are signed? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
from changing the style to shit, yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there are, believe it or not, acts that are WAY better and way more deservant of a bigger label. |
||||||||

I quite like the Solid State album from them - have you heard it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah i have noticed that since i have been digging deep into the IDM genre. It's a shame and makes me wonder why they still get so much sales. Everyone should take notice of the smaller labels which seem to have more (dare i say Talented) artists. |
||||||||
|

|
|
unfortunately, i have them all..heheh, you wanna talk quench, cenik, anything, you name it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
quench actually is something i was getting into recently. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did they start off good and slowly run their career into the ground? What do you think is their best work? I don't have any of their official stuff - I downloaded mp3s of Solid State after reading a positive review and never found a hard copy at the shop. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have both parts and solid state...i was into them at first, but now that i think about it i guess it's gotten a little stale. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Career - I meant their artistry I guess. If they ahve an upcoming Warp release I'd have to say their career is fine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Solid State is a good album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

mimi, why would you acquire every recording of an artist you dislike? i have to say, while funckarma are not favorites, i think they have considerable skill, and the respect they enjoy among more established artists and labels demonstrates that they are not the complete waste of time that you suggest. they do have a very refined style that has grown less fashionable but to dismiss them entirely seems unfair. |
||||||||

i unfortunately have a problem with keeping myself from finishing record label catelogues. and seeing as they're such label whores, i've ended up with quite a funckarma collection. their releases under the name quench are their best, they've got plenty of songs on tons of compilations. punctuated is all right. but if i am not mistaken i believe there's a third party involved so it's not just the funcken twins or whatever. to me they seem pretty deservant of being dismissed entirely. their style is just so flat. |

Mwahaha, that's a disease not a hobby! Whenever I find myself collecting for the sake of collecting I mentally *fwap* myself in the face with a rubber chicken. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i have to say, i didnt know they sucked until i heard their records (which i got before my soulseek days). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm, I've always enjoyed Funckarma, and the Quench project as well. Check out Funckarma's "Bourbon Sounds", it's a wicked little e.p. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
to each her own, i suppose. out of curiosity, what are a few of the artists that you think are more deserving of warp-level interest? i actually haven't bought anything really bad in quite awhile. maybe electric birds was the last mostly bad album i bought. i actually prefer funckarma to quench... but i think i've heard enough of each. |
||||||||

i have some traks from funckarma/cane coming out on colony and i promise you they are ruff ... i don't know about the past stuff i don't have but the bits i do are good ... warp are a good label and it's good they release records they believe in i guess, it's their call but i don't buy everything they release who buys every product from any label ? i really want to hear that shadowhuntaz material i heard some before that i thought was pretty good to be honest so i'm surprised to hear it be said it's whak ... is it just that 7" that's out then ? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
but i don't buy everything they release who buys every product from any label ? did you read the whole thread...? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i was referring to ... to each her own, i suppose. out of curiosity, what are a few of the artists that you think are more deserving of warp-level interest? and yes i'd read the whole thread ... i was just commenting on the fact that warp have released alot of material ... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's the reason they are warp ... |

I think the way to look at it is this, they can make tracks. Does that mean there talented, no. Funckarma sounds like your classic IDM sound and all there releases barely evolve. Now I know there are lots of groups like that but the difference is that funckarma for releasing as much stuff as they have can never pull off anything outstanding. Its like fuck, I would rather have them have three releases total with there best tracks on those three then ten plus releases under three names with maybe one good track each. You got to wonder do they throw any tracks away? The underground is so in love with them its sick, its like if your a new label and can get a funckarma track or album you shit your pants, just look at n5md and they way portland wants to suck them off. So fuck it let them be underground gods but to me Warp, skam, rephlex are higher quality labels and I agree that seeing them release on those labels dosent seem right talent wise. |

I think they are ace not groundbreaking that for sure, but they make pretty nice tracks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i still hate them |
||||||||
|

hey, you never answered my question! but there's still time: "to each her own, i suppose. out of curiosity, what are a few of the artists that you think are more deserving of warp-level interest?" |
||||||||
|

OK, well bearing in mind that when I made this post warp wasn't a complete joke yet. I don't really think it is any great honor to be on warp anymore. If warp had gone a different route and picked up small guys like Vesna or Verbose (who, while neither have had many releases at all, the releases they have put out were completely and solidly awesome), warp would be a lot cooler in my book! The funcken twins have had zillions of boring, flat garbage put out on every label known to mankind. |
||||||||

I have enjoyed everything they have done, with Quench taking the front above Funckarma. All things considered, they are relatively talented at settling into a mood without being all blippy blappy and skittery scatty. So be it. Its not like VSnares is doing much evolution or ground breaking stuff album to album either. But that is apples and oranges comparing icey idm to ballsey breakcore. Again, whatever. What I really want to know is: WHAT ARE THE BETTER ARTISTS YOU SAID SHOULD BE 'MORE DESERVING' ?!?!?!?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also, compared to what warp have signed since, funckarma are pretty much geniuses. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also, even though Seymour Bits is kind of big, I wouldn't mind seeing him get even more exposure. He would definitely help out their roster. |
||||||||

Snow sences is rather forgettable for me. I have to confess, I like funckarma MUCH better than Boring of Canada. |

glad to see someone besides me thinks shadow huntazzzzzzzzzz is pathetic |
||||||||

I feel sorry for your mama! |

i like bits of funckarma - their remix album was far better than anything autechre, aphex, or boc did last year |
||||||||
|

Got the Anger/Qusa 12" off slsk and it's great. |
