Halibut Acid / Donkey Rhubarb

I don't know whether this is worthy of it's own thread, and
the search is down so I can't see if anyone's mentioned it,
but I find a striking simmilarity between Analord's
Halibut Acid and Donkey Rhubarb by the Aphex
Twin - the steel drum type sound, the beat that emerges
about 1: 28, and then the breakdown about 1:58 ... it sounds
like a remix or a reworking to me? Am I going silly?

No, you're not! There was something ringing a bell in my
head and you've just got me knowing what it is!

It's not fully.. I know what you mean, and I guess one could
attribute it to the fact that it is the same artist....
but.... ppppssfsfsffsssss... I think there's something
there.

It's the same drummachine, TR 909, with similar tweaks on
the sounds.

I do so like it when someone actually knows what they're
talking about rather than my blind, aimless farting in the
dark. Hats off to Vlari!

Dude, you know a fucking shitload about music. Why aren't
you working on teh discography or something so that you can
give extra information?

Actually, the track has both the 808 & 909 in it, but the
parts you spoke of were dominated by the 909.

Halibut and Donkey are both animals, and Acid and Rhubarb
are both substances.

I'm no bottomless pit of knowledge, but I do know my animals
and substances :)

not much in common to me, apart same drum sound, well same
source at least, but i disagree with vlari, not at all the
same tweaks. :)
thus it sounds nothing like it IMO:

there's not the heavy high-Q filter on some sounds, and they
sound generally cleaner on donkey rhubarb, the melody is
nowhere as playfull in halibut, darker and more mature and
more poignant...
the steel drum isn't even as obvious a steel drum as in
donkey rhubarb and the drum-patterns are way more simple and
repetitive.
in short i really don't ear the ressemblance, maybe the
track lenght... :D

:)

I didn't say identical tweaks. But the tuning on the
hi-hats are similar, I wont give that one up...but the rest
of the stuff you said is true.

Points: 3000 Status: Regular



by tuning you mean the pitch of the hi-hats?
the timbre of it?
or the groove/pattern?

it's all in good fun but i don't ear anything similar, well
maybe the pattern is nearly the same composition-wise...

ahahahaaa, like i have nothing better to do than repeatly
listen to 2 songs and drinking coffee... :D:D:D

And yes, this is getting silly, drink your coffee good man
:)
