Well, some weeks ago some of you asked me about my music and at the moment my old band Drift had only one song up on MP3.com. In the meantime, my brother posted most of our songs at the following addy: driftsabatlije.iuma.com so anyone interested in our dumb and boring (not to mention poorly produced) music can check it out. The band disbanded in 1995 and this stuff was made in 1994. No one listened to it then, and I guess no one wants to listen to it now, so I just enjoy spamming this MB is all. |

I will listen tonight , I can imagine what your music will be like. Lets see how accurate my idea of it is :) |

You'll probably be very disappointed. It's boring, generic and boring. And badly produced. Plus, I have just noticed that my brother lied: the recording and the mix of the album took 14.5 hours not 12 or 13 as he would have it. The tracks on the site are amost the whole album (minus a bad "ambient" track and minus Beatles cover that would have Ophecks raging with bloodlust). |

They covered Whitesnake's 'Is This Love' and here is Meho at the time http://www.mulletjoe.com/judge5.gif |

I'm gettin' them! |

|
|
LOL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, jonesy, always a prankster. Actually, I loved Whitesnake in my youth, but I know better than to try to sing like David Coverdale. My singing was more like "urgh, urgh, aaaarggghh, grooowr" and trying to emulate his erotic murmur this way would be a sacrilege. However, we DID desecrate Beatles, so I guess, Whitesnake will be my next obvious choice... |

Oh, Princo, have you listened to any of it yet? Any thoughts on comitting a suicide? |
||||||||

Lee Dorian eat yer heart out. I have one question... Were you using a pitchshifter or you have uncommonly large brassy ones? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This ones in my favourites. I'm checking this out tonight. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No pitchshifter. I used it on one track that is not featured on this site and in which I speak in my normal voice and the pitchshifted vocal doubles it. Using Pitchshifter was equal to cheating to me in those days. All those Deicide and Cannibal Corpse records with statements "no electronic harmonizer has been used on vocals" were a challenge. Anyway, the music is quite dumb, don't you agree. |

You'll be sorry. |

Good, good |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
um..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Um" as in "I agree but I don't want to insult you", surely. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
far from it actually...that long chanting sample on the feeder...and the tasty flute on each track.....and your VOX...there is really something cookin there... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, everybody seems to be falling for the flute. I personally see it as a cheap trick. Chanting is good, agreed, a grape-picking song from serbia. My vocals are quite ridiculous when heard against that kind of backdrop. I was heavily into Cannibal Corpse at the time (well, I still am) and I wanted to sound like Chris Barnes on "Tomb of the mutilated". I almost got there, but that makes the music very kitschy. However, I can't exactly sing properly... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can call it a cheaptrick..but in the right hands it would have been just the right PR gimmick...come on admit it..it's usually that one elusive indescribable element that seperates the bands that stand out from those who just gets lost in the quaqmire that metal quickly became...the flute and willingness to dip intoyour culture and folklore(I only know of Sepultura and it's off shootwho does that..the restofmetal...is a fairly homogenised monochromatic culture)..you had two.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm, I dunno, the flute was more or less inspired by Cathedral's first album. The folklore stuff was inspired by... hmm, can't really remember now, but I am sure we stole that idea from someone too... My problem is that the songs are boring, the production sucks arse and that my singing is embarassing... Other than that, we are good, I guess... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the riffs and drums could do with a bit of groove...and yes the changes are a bit predictable..that was only real complaint |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The funny thing is a local guy over here wants to put out a re-pressing of that album even though no-one listened to it in the first place. The rest of the band are all for that and I really like to think that I've progressed way beyond that album... The drummer today plays even worse than he used to and my brother plays the most boring guitar in the world. He progressed from making show-offy difficult riffs to making difficult to play, but dumb sounding riffs... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so what are you doing yourself now music wise? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Er, what I was trying to say was: I hope I have progressed so now I know I'm seriously untallented. I play drums in two bands, the rock band called Ventolin (influenced by Neil Young, Dream Syndicate, Steve Wynn, Jayhawks etc.) and a grindcore band Acroholia (early Napalm Death clone). Both these bands are pretty mediocre. I also have some cut-up/ tape manipulation stuff I've done with a friend, but that's not terribly interesting either. |

smack smack grab collar shake shake shake... STOP BEING SO HARD ON YER SELF... BTW..how come you havent commented on my avatar?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, yeah, I wanted to. She is a real cutie. I just wanted to be polite for once. But, seriously, I am just being realistic. I am old enough to know what the good music should sound like. Spikee Dragon has heard Acroholia, so he can tell you I am not lying. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well I am older than you and still happy in my own delusions about my own mediocre music.....it's a good escape chute...stress valve..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Acroholia kick ass! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe, but I do not suffer from any stresses. Music ploaying/ creating for me is about communicating with my own "spirit" in the first place. However, I am aware that it do not communicate with other people's "spirits" too well... BTW, you are full of shit too: if I could make music you make I'd be very happy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Spikee, youšre ruining all that I have carefully built here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm.. you think.. I dunno having played live in kinda pretensious avant fart (thank you Netlon Sentinel) bands that were mostly3 to 4 people creating rackets locked into their own grooves far removed from any of the audience or a semblence of gestalt among the band members... we were a joke... but I still miss it..it somehow seemed more real than what I am doing now.... at least your bands have cohension..decipherability |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, no, I do a lot of free-improv stuff, don't ya worry. That music is very important to me. It makes you really feel a responsibility and freedom at the same time. Not that I am too good at it, either... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm I cant say anything on the quality of your Music meho, cuz I dont listen to Death Meatal.......so....I guess its pretty good ! ...Lol....the vocals...quality ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, that's fair enough. I can asure you our music is mediocre at best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the last I played in a band that played songs that could be construed as songs was mostly a covers band that wasdoing 80's new wave/goth hybrids as a teenager... never got into an arrangement to play in a good kick arse industrial band as I so longed to..the ahem..improv lot I got into we were originally gonna be a Skinny Puppy crossed with Noise core ala Cop Shoot Cop..( I played a modified bass through several effects processor to get both high and low end)..but things quickly deteriorated...they soon became ABOVE playing songs with structures...art school wanks :(....and hence the improv rackets.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I listen to a lot of improv stuff. I love that music. As I said, it involves absolute freedom mixed with iron discipline. However, a lot of people see it as just a free-for all type of affair... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hiya, I finally had a listen to about 4 of the tracks the other day. It's not my kind of music, but it did seem pretty good. Like you say the production could do with a polish ;) Still, good stuff and nice to hear something by you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I knew I'd forgotten to do something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ceri: Nah, the music is crap. But thanks for your time... Gigi, you better give up, hehe... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll do it some day. I promise. If only to say that I remembered something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, OK. If it's for a good cause.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
These tracks are honestly better on a 2nd listen Meho, But yeah, I suppose the production kinda left me unsatisfied. 'cause I would of liked it louder, etc. :) Speaking of satisfing ones self.... is it time to turn this thread into a porn related topic? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey, don't desecrate my topics with porn posts, you bastard!!! Where's your conscience? Just kidding. Well, I agree, the production does suck arse but I guess that's the best you could get for 14.5 hours in Yugoslavia in 1994. I DID tell you it was not going to sound too great.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But umm... yeah... the flute kinda shitted me. btw, what instrument did you play in this band? you've probably already mentioned it in this thread but... yeah.. tell me again? :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
please dont say flute ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think 'Reanimation Sequence' and 'Sterilized 'sound alright! Do I have problems? :-s |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nah, I sang for the band. Now laugh. Flute, you don't like flute? Hey, EVERYBODY seems to like the flute, what's wrong with you. Yeah,. Sterilized is almost OK (save for the production) and Reanimation Sequence too, weren't it for my brother fucking up the guitar part at one spot, me having too much reverb on vocals, and me fucking up at the very end. It was all just lame, pointless stuff... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cool, Thanks for sharing them tho mate! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, it's actually that my brother did all the work and since I took many opportunities to shit on other people's music on this MB, I thought it'd be nice to give people the chance to trash me as well... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't wait until my new CD is done so people on here can trash that. ^-^ What I have so far is fucky at best. }:> |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey..... it isn't THAT bad..... maybe your band should cover The Offspring's "self esteem" ;-) |
