Well, the thing is, I love Black Dog, and if it weren't for Revpersona telling me that certain tracks were by certain indiviudals rather than the 3 I'd never have known, but Plaid's watered down, decaffinated approach to music post-DB is horrifically illustrative of the declining standards (and I say that quite barefacedly, if such a thing is possible) of electronic music. Somehow, becuae they were once part of a legendary group, all their inspid bollocks should be revered, ... i hate it, why doesn't someone say to them, look, you were good, try to make a half decent record instead of releasing 5 shit ones? It's not THAT hard. |

Awesome! I agree and to me it reflects on Warp's standards when it comes to quality of releases. I mean as a bigger label there should be a bit more communication between the label and the artist. Perhaps a friendly chat over lunch discussing how a particular album doesnt measure up with the talent that is contained within the individuals. I was completely unaware that certain blackdog tracks were done by individuals. I love this place because i am still learning stuff! :D |

Oooh, plaid, okay. It's FUCKING DROSS. ALL OF IT. Limp-wristed coffee table bollocks that should've fallen off the map about, well... it should never have been on the fucking map in the first place. Their only redeeming feature is that it's impossible to remember anything about one of their "tracks". A twatty, insipid disgrace to the memory of the black dog. |

Merzbow sucks, and I'm not all that opposed to noise music. That's the only real diss of a big name I can think of. I like music. |

I'm starting to love Tim Hecker again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You feel out of love with him..? How could you - why could you - fuh! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that won't do, scuppers. you'll have to be more creative. at least 500 words per artist. |
||||||||

I had become disillusioned with music made up of washes of granular ambience after finding out how easy it is to do in Reaktor and Max/MSP. Then after experimenting some more I realized that Tim Hecker's music was insanely gorgeous and my twiddling was not, so I now appreciate him on an artistic level again. |

Tori Amos. Tori Tori Tori. Please. No more. Enough is enough. Let's be clear on this - Amos has never been good. Amos has always been semi-hysterical wimmins music. Yes, we all like a bit of wimmins music here and there, but not splattered all over the place, like Amos does. Amos yammers. Amos yelps. Amos sounds like Kate Bush but without even coming close to the Bushmeister. Whenever Amos sings, we lose. |

Ok i am not sure how this will go down... I really don't understand where the pleasure of listening to confield or draft 7:30 is... I mean two good tracks in two albums, what the fuck is that all about. I really did my time with these albums and they still don't even come close to tri repetae or incunabula. What the fuck is wrong with a little melody??? And don't even try to give me the whole you didn't listen properly shit. I mean come on I guess it just dosen't float my boat but there are people who write much better soundscapes. i just don't understand the pleasure of listening to something breakdown to an incomprehensible mess. Some people have a go at boc for being boring, well, at least they know how to write a fucking melody. Ae used to as well i think. The other thing i really don't get is all of these bands having a synth player and trying to be new order. I mean you don't stand a fucking chance really. In fact the bands that i am talking about are so un-memorable that i am having problems remembering their names... Well they really piss me off. That's it for now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh the bravery were one of the bands i was referring to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good one! i'm not going to dissagree with you on the ae bit because this is the thread to do it. but.... Almost every new band has a synth player now trying to hark back to the glory days of D.I.Y. (Do it yourself, for people that don't know B&Q), in the good old days when people would say "in the good old days..." youl'd save your pennies for any synth, forget this vst has more options etc. hee hee |

Aother thing really annoys me about music creaters these days is that they want a sequencer that practically does everything for them, what's the point??? I like to really work on shit from the ground up that is at least half the fun that i have doing it. I am really tired of people being so one dimentional and happy to be told what to like by the nme. I mean those guys are a bunch talentless and scenetrailing hacks. I don't know why people think all this retro "ohhhh look at me, i wear a blazer!" thing comes from. I mean seriously, why the fuck do people take style over substance. With out image surely the imagination runs free??? Oh well it fucking beats me... |

I read an interview one time............ the drummer for 'kool and the gang' was from liverpool. he loved music and just wanted to 'rock'. he went to a drum school and they were telling him off for not playing polyrhytms correctly. He left the school diss heartened and played for fun. now he's 48, he has an amazing studio in spain, he gives free drumming lessons to the kids in porta calom. I wish I was him. |

all that 8-bit breakcore crap. it's crap. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Breakcore in 16bits is also quite bad. |
||||||||
|
|

I am going to Positive from now on, there's three very simple reasons why I am negative and bitter: I'm a drunkard I'm talentless I have to get drunk to forget I am talentless Though I hate 8-Bit music though. I mean one album's worht, ok, nice idea. But don't fucking make out it's a genre you worhtless shits. Oh hang on this is a Jivverdicker reference, isn't it? |

i love negativity - i especially love it when some piece of scrotum gets offended when i do not favor the musics he likes. when someone makes fun of my tastes that is more offensive than if someone makes fun of some artist who i like - for instance if someone said "boy, you seem to like all of the bleeding heart down tempo stuff, why dont you grow a set of balls and put on some []pusher, you cunt" that offends me more than this "squarepusher is a talentless wanker knob end who hasnt made a decent record...ever, he also like to have his asshole diddled." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when it comes down to it, i know i'm right and everyone else is wrong, so it doesn't bother me usually. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
having said that a constant diet of flippant rude dismissive interjections can get me going, even if it's in jest. so stop fucking doing it! |

The Other People Place. if ever you wonder how to translate the concept of being drab and boring into sound, this is it. The Old People Place would've been a better name. |

old = boring? i beeeeeeeeeeeg to differ |
||||||||

not old. Old people. as in: OAPs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't complain about you complaining and being waaaaaaaaaaaay off the mark, because this is the complaining thread. Maybe I like it because I'm so fucking old, damnit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how old are you, Dan? you're not much older than me, are you? |
||||||||
|
|

I thought the other people place wasn't bad, had an "olskool classickness" vibe to it. A nice breeze on a hot summer. Not my fave of the drexciya stuff though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"A nice breeze on a hot summer." that's exactly it Hobson, exactly. qrter: I'm not that much older than you. Is that old, possibly? I feel old. And redundant. But hey, what the hell.... what... the.... hell... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
like a fart on the face. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I don't think you're much older than me. I always feel incredibly immature. like a small boy. |

Mull Of Kintyre, why i remember that is beyond me. |

why that is a followup is beyond me.. |

Your turn to disappoint me qrter. |
