Global Goon

So I finally hear "Vatican Nitez".

Total, utter rubbish. A bland, forgettable, over-produced,
coffee-table yawn from start to finish.

How on earth can some people prop this stuff? It's almost as
bad as Morcheeba, or even a truly lame impression of Air,
who are already bland in the first place.

Boring, boring music.

No sarcasm sorry. I had big expectations after some people's
comments, but I have to say, if this is the future of
electronic music, then it's all over.

any good)

and "big calm", especially big calm is really nice, but i
havent listen to that for quite some time

(just for getting a view hehe)

you haven't listened to it enough obviously - it's relaxing
but it's not boring tepid chillout shit like morheeba - it's
got loads of character and lysergic eccentricity - comparing
it to morcheeba just suggests you don't know what you are
talkiing about and don't really have much of an ear for
music

I a always amused by the idea that a personal opinion is all
that matters. So if you find something shit then it
obviously is. You comment that just because soeone swore it
was obviously good well what makes you think that you
opinion is any more valid than theirs?

I actually find myself humming GG's music more than any
other electronic artists...and it has a sense of fun
something that is missing in most art these days.

Hahaha. I have a very good ear for music, and i'm sorry but
Global Goon's music bores me rigid. Total rubbish.

i think you have missed a massive aspect of listening to it
and you haven't listened to it very well as you are way off
the mark with your comparisons - maybe you are missing the
hummability and quirky humour that ecnadniarb found in it
.
also i don't think it's overproduced ? it's home made
electronica - well produced m aybe ? it's not exaclty pink
floyd or something

"You comment that just because soeone swore it

Nothing. it just happens to be my own opinion that what I've
heard of his music is utterly mediochre and uninteresting.
Sorry if i offended any friends of the 'artist'.

It is way overproduced, horrible, bland, preset-sounding
stuff. I used to live with a woman who loved music like Ace
of Base and Moby. She would love Global Goon.

i don't often say this but you're simply just wrong here -
you should give it more of a listen before saying it's crap
- i prefer it to stuff i consider blandd like boc .
there is also no need to start swinging your handbag around
- maybe your approach is a little unrefined - esp as you
have just bought the album and could'nt have given it many
listens

Browsing through this forum just now, i note that many
people have written scathing reviews of music that they
truly hate. It's accepted on other threads, and there's
nothing wrong with doing that.

So why are you reacting so strongly and swiftly to my
criticisms of Global Goon? Are you the artist in disguise?
Friends of the artist?

no ity's just you are way off mark and i think you should
lsiten to ikt again - i also think you are being
provocative and reacting in a knwee jerk way -
if this forum is for free expression you aren't reacting to
my probing in the open way that free expression needs to
work

I find the music totally cliched and pointless. Simple as
that. My comments aren't meant to offend your taste. It's
just my perfectly valid point of view. I've listened to the
Global Goon album several times and it gets more irritating
with every listen.

Sorry if my words made you angry.

I think the simplicity is the point of his music...it's got
a refreshing child like quality to it and it evokes a
pleasant care free child like sense of well being..Actually
it is characteristic of quite a few of the Rephlex
bands...Bodenstandig2000, some of Cylob and Gentle People
also comes to mind..not to mention Aphex and Melodies from
Mars

BTW I like AIR as well...
