After Ovuca, Cylob and Wagon Christ today is the Photek's day... tell me your opinion about Solaris, which is your fav album, etc... |

SInce no one else wanted to respond to this, I will gladly.... As a HUGE fan of (old)Photek... I.E.: Form & Function and Modus Operandi where he tore the Drum n Bass world a new A-Hole...He ripped it back than.... Then Rupert decided to, well I guess some would say his "house" roots. This gives us Solaris....I was SO dissapointed with this album. There are maybe 2 or 3 tracks worth listening to, other than those, its all shitty Booty House music. Its top 40 clubcrap.... Stick with the "old" Photek we all know and love...and let's hope this was just a phase and he will be back to killing the decks. |

I haven't anything about photek,but I liked his drum'n'bass works...the only thing in my possession is his remix of Bjork's I miss you...I don't agree with his musical change... |

I like a few tracks on Solaris, but I must agree - I don't like as much as Modus Operandi and Form & Function. Modus Operandi is amazing. |

Funnily enough I was listening to Ni Ten Ichi Ryu this am as I was getting ready for a nice day at work (work is rest). I haven't got Solaris yet but am not put off by a new house direction. I think Mine to Give is class. He's still making Drum n' Bass under aliases including Special Forces. His remix of Therapy?'s Loose got me into drum n' bass and it still sounds fresh today. |

EXCELLANT!!!-I USED TO BE A HUGE PHOTEK FAN!! NOW ALLOW ME TO WAFFLE... i have all the original photek twelevs of which in my whole coolection of vinly i am most proud because i really do believe that rupert parkes had a huge impact in the mid nineties my top five... seventh samurai (not the version on form and fuction-the version where the beats just build and build and then it launches into a phat amen style break) touching down planet photek-amazing use of science fiction type sounds conciousness-how the fuck did he get that spinning back crackle effect at the start? the watermargin-funky as funky, wicked bass...what else can you say?? modus operandi (album track)-spooky, dark, and very atmospheric.... rings around saturn-one of my all time favourite tunes....genius |

Why is there such a hatred of 4/4 beats? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because they're phenomenaly dull?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Solaris didnt really hit me too well, its OK. The other two I have by Photek are gems! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'Work is rest' as in Orwellian doublespeak. 4/4 is not boring. The Antiques Roadshow is boring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
dunno-bad move to make a garage album...and its just such a weak effort-he should have released it under a different name-photek should only be associated with making top drawer drum n bass. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
antiques roadshow is awesome!!! hugh scully should have his own telly show-'scullys world'...oh dude you're missing out... |

antiques roadshow RULES!!! |

Deep house not garage. Why stick to drum n' bass? Fuck Sunday TV shows! |
||||||||

deep house deep splllouse..face it solaris is cwwwap. its dull dull dully dull. |

I haven't heard all of it but I love deep house. Its better than this so called IDM shite you techno-geeks listen to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh i see. now youre attempting to offend, but fear not-well you love deep house, i love idm, who cares?,-each to their own my friend.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh well-you like deep house us 'geeks' like idm...who cares? each to their own my friend. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wasn't meaning to offend, just stir up some of the IDM obsessives. I love everything that is good. I just hate it when people on this MB write off house thinking its all cheesy, chart trite. There's some great stuff out there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
see? i even posted twice to make my point. |
||||||||

count me in with the geeks and jungle headz |

oh no i dont hate house-if it wasnt for house we wouldnt be here talking about what we're all jointly into!! dunno, these days i dont follow it so i dont really have a clear idea of what goes on, but fair play-if its good then its good ;> |

Im a Photek fan and i recomend his Special Forces releases on Photek productions. Everything he has done there is really whicked. "The bleeps Tune" and "exocet"for example is really dark bassline murda things. Allso check out Inta Warriors "inta" Special Forces remix. He wont be releasing much DnB on Astralwerks from now on. But expect many whicked EP's from Photek Produktions. I hope he will make a Special Forces album soon. I really liked the vocal tracks on solaris but i didn't like those boring Big Beat type tracks.Photek is all about perfektion and those tracks sounded like it could have been done by any second rate dance producer. Nobody can match Photeks perfekt programed razor sharp beats. He style is very special. |

I own form&function and Modus Operandi. The latter I feel is the best. I've heard a few tracks from Solaris, and i can understand why it's not everyone's cup of tea. I prefer the tracks on Modus Operandi -- Form& function is a bit too reptitive, and the stuff on Modus operandi is a bit more interesting to listen to. Minotaur is one of my favorite tracks. Normally I like my music to be a bit more melodic, but if i'm in the mood for drum & bass, Photek delivers. |
||||||||
|

Yes "Minotaur" is a exelent track. "Smoke Rings" and "Fift Column" are whicked to.Makes you think of old Akira Kurosawa movies or something(seventh samurai). Have you heard a track called "Titan". Very cool tune with strange dark noices. I allso recomend a track called "DNA" (i think?) that has very complex drumm programin. |

House does suck in my opinion. It is boring and generic. =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

haven't listened to Solaris yet. kind of afraid to actually, given that I love Photek's dnb work and really don't want to see him dive into the shitter the way it sounds like he has. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
DNA is cool. It's on the "Rarewerks" album put out by Astralwerks. I like the jet sounds on the track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really like photek... he's fly :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love DNA, it would be nice as an opening track in a movie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
his stuff as studio pressure on certificate 18 is worth checking. there's even a lush remix by plaid too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and his ep on metalheadz is worth a check too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah solaris is ass did anyone notice the autechre sample on the first track? there is a stereo panning chirping noise. what i hate most about that album is the lame house vocals. "if that dont make you happy.. i don know... i don knoooow.." sheer crap. i hate house vocals |
