"A Giant Alien Force More Violent & Sick Than Anything You Can Imagine. canadian aaron funk's music polarizes listeners: you either love it or hate it - there is nothing in between. the number of releases he has put out is as weird as his sound treatments. up-tempo breakbeats, destructed drum and bass patterns/loops merge to sonicly attack the mind. this is far beyond 'noise' cliches. after the brilliant and surprisingly successful 'doll doll doll', hymen records presents "a v.s." a 3" cd that contains one single track (that is as long as the title). a contrast of rhythmic high-speed rage and spacey moods. some people would extract an entire album from this psychedelic breakcore concentrate. funk intended 'a giant alien force...' as a soundtrack -- so we decided to include a picture viewer (little television) along with the cd. listen carefully while watching the pictures on the screen, as this is beyond anything you can imagine !" |

i have no idea what they mean by that. boomkat sent me the cd yesterday, so i'll probably get it tomorrow. then i'll find out what the heck it is..--- |

Yes, it's like a miniature television. The 3" cd comes in a little jewelry box type thing too. |
||||||||

|
|
can you describe it a little better? :\ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you put it in your computer, and it plays pictures to teh music, an "enhanced cd" of sorts.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehhhh, it's not a computer thing... see it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you put it against the light and you see pictures, which change by pushing a button. it's all analogue technology hehh |

Ah, like those old viewmaster hand held slide viewers! Sounds cool. What are the pictures of? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uhmm... urban soundscapes... kind of... anyway, sounds are better than the pictures. |
||||||||
|

|
|
haha, this is weird =) |
||||||||
|

I seem to remember that being Jungfrauhaut. Is that right? And another thing, why is that used for both boys and girls? I ain't no goddam Frau. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"used for both boys and girls?"--is that so? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
LEO online dictionary says: ENGLISH--GERMAN hymen--das Jungfernhäutchen lobate hymen [anat.]--Hymen lobatus |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes for both but mostly for the Jungenfrauen :D |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
can you say "marketing scheme"? just curious |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can say it but that doesnt make sens you can also say : "capitalistic bleme" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
funny how everyone here would point a finger at any "pop" performer and say "what a marketing scheme" blahblahblah but its fine when vsnares does it "its important to have standards" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good point. It's a bit cooler than the kind of dross you get with pop cds though, but still, fair criticism. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
considerably cooler...but still in ensures sales... does it not? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

woow, that looks really cool! I once had one of those little tv's, only that one had pictures of holland in it (bought it in a souvenir-giftsthop). I just love little gadgets like that :-) marketing scheme or not, i love 'em! I mean sure it will make the cd sell more copies... but it's just cool :-D Everyone who buys it will be very happy with it. Think of it as a gift to the fans ;-) Don't really mind when a pop-performer does it either. I think it's awesome if any artist tries to do a little more than just put a jewelcase around his cd. (i wonder if i will ever be able to find it though... i hope so). |

I'll agree with surrounded on this one. I don't particularly care if a pop act (or rather their marketing department) makes their CD stand out a bit. In fact I wish more artists would make the extra effort. There are only so many single-sided-folded-in-half inserts I can take. RDJ mentioned himself that he would have preferred a sweet little digipack release for drukQs, but the budget wouldn't stretch to it. What annoys me is when grasping marketing people re-release already available records with an extra track..."for the fans". Almost as bad as ltd. or Japanese imports with bonus guff on them. |

yeah it better than just a cd case - but i like ideas like global goon's - where the cradle of history LP has a hinge on the back of it so you can stand it up like a pic frame more affordable...just when i get something like that - im less taken by the music - and more concerned w/ keeping it sealed and selling it down the line for a heightened price im a bastard if i were him, or boc (in the case of twoism) i would have kept all the records to myself (ourselves in boc's case) and made that $1,000 per record off ebay 'stead of some little shit grabber (like me) making all the dough "i love the dough...more than you know" - notorious big "bling" - britney spears |

"RDJ mentioned himself that he would have preferred a sweet little digipack release for drukQs, but the budget wouldn't stretch to it. seriously? Wow... I had been wondering about this, are those supersimple sleeves for artistic reasons or because of a limited budget. Guess this anwsers it :-/ But still... druqks was a very hyped record and they probably sold lots of it! Hard to imagine they couldn't even afford some extra artwork :-/ (i would have gladly paid a small amount more for it!) "What annoys me is when grasping marketing people re-release already available records with an extra track..."for the fans"." hmpf, yes i hate that too :-( Extra tracks, bonus-discs... it's all very nice but i prefer it when the first pressing of an album gets these extra's! (so the people who buy it on release (the fans!!!) profit from it.) And they can make that limited if they want. If they repress the albums later, they can do so without the extra's. It's pretty obvious the way it happens now is just a way to make the biggest fans buy the album twice :-/ |

I got the new Snares yesterday from Boomkat. It's amazing, the viewer is wicked to look through when playing the track but the track itself is what pleased me most when it arived! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the viewer thing (to come back to the real topic of this thread) looks cool but the pictures (apart from one which is v kewl) are just buildings with the "agafmvastayci" text photoshop'ed onto them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, sorry to digress. the viewer thingy is very cool, but I haven't had chance to listen to the track yet. just in case anybody missed that interview, here's an excerpt: OK, you want to sell as much as possible, but you don't want to release any singles, apparantely there will be no video, you don't want any pictures taken, you'll just do 3 Interviews worldwide and you don't want to tour. So that's what you think of promotion? "(laughs). Well, I made a few compromises. The CD is just in a regular jewel case, and it'll be pretty cheap. If it was for me, I would have designed a nice digipack and released it that way. But that would be too expensive and you would lose too much money. And if it also was for me, I wouldn't do any interviews and promotion gigs at all. The little things that I'm doing now is all that I'll do for promotion." |
