are sampled or invented? i'm listening to this album...it's really nice! new and better life for this breakcored guy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess sampled |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought the strings sounded like they were from a cheap sound module..Dry and Unemotive...It's a good concept but Not produced to a good enough standard imo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"It's a good concept but Not produced to a good enough standard imo " My thoughts exactly. I'd prefer versions of the tracks without the usual breakbeat-fuckery, too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im not produced to a good enough standard either oh well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea i finished the listening, i agree with the usual breakbeat fuckery :D |
||||||||

This high faluting breakdown of music on Xltronic really does my fuckin' head in. |
||||||||

|
everyone knows that the production values of a record are far more important than the music contained therein. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
hasnt techno music always been more about the character of the sound than the actual composition? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree with the opposite of all this... Most of it is sampled, I don't think the strings sound cheap. I reckon the production is very good, at times much better than the composition, melodies etc. And the breakbeatfuckery is the best part of it, and isn't used enough! |

Says who... I really want to know which people make up these Golden Rules. |

|
|
is this still techno music? seriously, what is techno, exactly? i always think of early-90's dance music... breakcore is quite different, i think. |

I think Moby invented that one. (Moby is the Godfather of electronic music) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Moby should have been in one of the Twin Towers on the morning of September 11th, 2001. |

poor moby, first eminem, now marlowe being mean |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I believe I was dissing Moby long before Eminem embarassed himself on stage that one time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay, but im on moby side even longer than that, he's nice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
moby and eminem suck in two equal but different ways. they are like two opposite sides of the same suck coin. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
man i'm so sick of hearing about this album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Then FUGGIN LEAVE |
||||||||
|

apparently theyre samples, someone recognized them from somewhere else. |

an email i got this morning from the music director at work haha "I am listening to a disc I think you'll like...Venetian Snares. http://www.venetiansnares.com/ It arrived with the Damon & Naomi disc." |

I appreciate that the musical ideas come first but texture and a well balanced sound are very important aswell. Having some knowledge of sound and production techniques means I constantly pull apart music into its raw elements and think how I would have done it differently. If someone on the board had posted these tracks, I would see it as being a good effort. For a well known and respected artist it falls a little below par, I know it's only my opinion but this sounds rushed, almost demo quality stuff. Good ideas that Need refining. |
||||||||

|
I like the album exactly the way it is. I also like the track Go from Moby, I also like a large number of eminems tracks. So you can all go and fuck yourself until your rectums bleed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Snares sounding rushed? never.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was a bit harsh in my last post. V-Snares is clearly very good at what he does, and a lot better than some of the other stuff around at the moment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
GO is such an awful, awful track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Snare rush? |
||||||||
|
|

it's brilliant! |

Sounds mostly sampled, though he could have added parts himself. Some of it, if not all, is definitely sampled. 23-25 seconds into track 2, Szerencsetlen is from the very beginning of Bela Bartok's String Quartet No. 4. In fact the whole thing sounds like it's pieced together from any combination of parts from Bartok's 6 string quartets (Which are way way better on their own without the hackneyed drill added). Other similar works he could have used may be some Ligeti quartets, though I have pretty limited knowledge. Oh and on the subject of string quartets and chamber music, if anybody knows where I could buy or download a Julliard Quartet performance of Paul Hindemith's string quartets...well, it would be great. I heard his string quartet number one on the radio as performed by Julliard Quartet (twice actually), and it was amaaaazing. The only one I can find for download is by the 'Danish Quartet' or somesuch but it lacks so much energy in comparison. I would love to hear the original version that Gloomy Sunday (in track 3 Ongyilkos Vasarnap) is taken from, but I can't find anything but covers of the song by other artists. |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
note when I said 'the whole thing' i was still just talking about track 2. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would say it's AS important. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or rather - I wouldn't see "production values" as seperate from "the music" - it's inherent to the music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought the production on the strings was fine. It was the beats that bothered me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love Bartok's music (and Hungarian folk music too.) I haven't got the album, but I can't imagine drill n bass beats combining very well with that (already accomplished and perfect in its own right) music; I'll buy it and see for myself. |

venetian snares learnt to play the violin for this album, just do a search for vioin at planet-mu and you'll see what I mean, I can't find the original article where it said he learnt to play the violin, but he did, however some of the tracks contain the sounds of cello's, I think the closest thing to the truth is that some of it is sampled, some of it is him playing, I remember in htis particular article it also said that the breakbeats were an 'afterthought' to the original tracks... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ugh, afterthoughts. He should have done a straight classical album and not ruined it with beats that don't gel. |

I love you. |

gloomy sunday I believe the one he sampled was billie holidays I have a version of it some where ill try to pick it up on slsk later this evening the original version is actually much more depressing I think it was a traditional song kind of like greensleeves and star of the county down |
