(i bet i get sweet F.A replies to this....) On "Alive in Japan", which by the way, i think is truly truly awesome and much neglected on this board, i have made several observations.... 1) I wonder what the crowd are laughing at before "Greenways Trajectory"? Tom making faces? 2) The untitled track reminds me of the RDJ/Cylob Oz gig... especially the quite low synth pads in the background 3) The way he stretches "My fucking sound"´... the "I´m the fucking daddy" vocal ........is mind blowing . 4) The way he slows down "The Exploding Psychology" is sweet 5) the start of "Boneville Occident" is great... especially as its the end of the "easier" tracks and the beginning of totall mindfuckology! 6) Ending with "Angstrom Feck 4" after that aforementioned mind melting mash-up session is perfecto bloody mundo 7) "Time to go full speed!!!!!!!!!!" is grerat 8) "Is it loud enough do you think" is real nice 9) The guy is way too underated here and nowhere near fucking appreciated enough.... the richness off his tunes, the amount of drumloops he uses and it works, the melodies, the momentum, the qulity of the sound samples.... the emotion being forced through the hardware........ its the definition of what punk is... just happens to be electronic. hats off to THE SQUAREPUSHER.. |

You are a true trainspotter, Keyfumbler. But I am happy someone could extract something worthwile out of that CD. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
any other - positive - observations? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Um, no, no, I believe you know my opinion on this disc: not as much a ripoff as waste of time... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, I'm glad someone finally stood up for the Square-pooo-schaaah. I love this disc, but it really only works as a whole for me. I have to listen to it all the way through... but when it gets to Greenways, oh yeah.... you know what I'm talking about. On a separate note of pedantry: shouldn't it be minutiae since your list addresses more than one aspect of Alive? |
||||||||

i just don´t understand that sentiment! Name one live electronica set available that displays the live rawness of this? Have you not heard the RDJ sets available online? (the re was loads on Joyrex). It´s what it is all about... big fucking speakers, nasty electronics, a crowd to twist into a gibbering mess |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are you talking to me? If yes, then, no, I haven't heard RDJ's live sets and I find Tom's set to be like listening to "Go Plastic" from another room with japanese crowd cheering. Not really fun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep, meho... i wastalking to ya. Do you like GP then? You mustn´t have loved it or you´d defo appreciate Toms live tweeking. martinhm.. thanks for the correction but, as the name says.... !!! Plus, yeah.. it is a whole experience for sure. To randomlt select tracks would be interesting but would pinch the flow of energy somewhat i suspect |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love Go Plastic. My favourite SQUAREPUSHER release. But the tweaking that he does on the live disc is minimal. Arguably, that's cool if you're at the actual spot, but not that cool if you're listening to the recording. Well, in your case, you found it amusing enough, so that's good for you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i suppose that is that then! I just think a tiny bit of imagination and you are in total ecstacy elbowing tokyo folks left right and center........As for the tweeking being minimal........ theres a lot more to it when you get right into it, i think. ..... can´t leave ya with the last word i´m afraid! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, that's fine by me. I am happy that someone can appreciate and enjoy the music that I find boring. Means that there is a purpose for that music after all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
boring?... its intoxicating, mate! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
huhuh, squarepusher rules hehehe go plastic and do you know squarepusher are just mind blowing btw, i also like that (popy) song-the last one on 1st cd :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Huh, not intoxicating to me, no. But all the same, as I said, i am happy for you. Tolstoyed, you are surely kidding: that song is a Joy Division cover. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who is joy division hehehe really dont know him/them anyway i like that song-im not sure if sp is serious about that, i like it anyway tho :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You are winding me up, right? But I am a sucker,, so here: Joy Division were one of the most important post-punk/ new wave/ pop/ whatever bands from the late 70s. Their music was a combination of punk's lo-fi aesthetics and pop-sensibility. Their singer Ian Curtis was a torture, haunted figure, unhappy and a tad psychotic. He hung himself when he was I think 20 or 19 (I am sure there are UK people on this MB who can tell this story way beter than me). The rest of the band renamed themselves New Order and the rest is history. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
huh, arent you encyclopedic hehe thanks for info-not winding you hehe i heard about new order, not much more than that tho hehe im not into this music really :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
new order - blue monday fantastic track! very 80's |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nor am I, nor am I. My girlfriend, however is all head-over-heels about New Order. She just can't seem to appreciate my enthusiasm for abstract electronica and satanic black metal... Have you heard that Rollingstones are finally coming to Beograd? Serbia is trembling with anticipation, haha. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who is rolling stones? :) |

off-topic subject-changing head-in-the-sand turncoat lemon sucking eurofreaks! ANYONE GOT ANY "INSIGHTS" INTO THE BLOODY JAYSUSIN´ BEST LIVE ALBUM EVER MADE BY ONE OF THE MOST ORIGIONAL HEADSTRONG CUNTS????? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You think I'll fall for that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's a bit of an overstatement, don't you think? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so who do you fancy better-keith or mick? hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Uhh, I just see them both as aspects of one and the same person... Keyfumbler: obviously you haven't listened to Matmos live recordings or you wouldn't be so capslock-happy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
give me the mp3 link and we will see plus.. try and get yerself some live RDJ...... i´m behind a shit firewall or i´d send ya some. Especially "Sonar 2001" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They are all over soulseek, man, look for them. one is called High, live and dirty and the other is just Matmos, Wobbly and People like us live together. I have a shitty connection here and no ftp available, so, thanks, but I couldn't get it anyway. I would love to hear those, anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the one from primavera sound is great |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is matmos on leaf? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, Matmos is on Matador at the moment, though they have some of the stuff on Tigerbeat6 too. However, these two live albums are practically unavailable except by downloading off soulseek. High Live and Dirty can be bought only in three shops in the whole world, here's some info on that one: http://www.brainwashed.com/matmos/discog/vague4.html |

DYKS was disappointing for me as it wasn't brilliant all the way through, i hate tracks 5 and 6 but the rest is boss. Tracks 1 and 4 no comment needed. 2 and 3 also excellent, but 5 and 6 are shite and I don't really see the point in track 7. The live CD is great though! Listened to the whole thing with headphones on a couple of weeks ago lying in bed late at night, it was mental! |
