  1. QUOTE(sti3 @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 02:03 AM) You insult me. I meant the specific sounds were similar to e.g. "Run Into Flowers", specifically the c c c c c c c a a a a a a b b b b type of synth intros, and then the way halfway into the track it kinda goes "balls out" with some crashing drums. I know enough IDM to be a little more specific with my comparisons. I just liked NF's singles better than the album. FWIW I've been following Border Community since their first release and have a pic of James Holden as my pic on last.fm. Speaking of which I'm waiting until I have a bit of cash to put in an order with React Music--his latest double mix cd and Miss Kittin's. I say this cause it was the 3rd M83 comparison i've heard, but i guess i could see it for Run into flowers, but he doesn't have those trudging synths like gonzales uses. My friend interns at warp which is pretty cool, i got advances of broadcast and campfire headphase last year. and secondly...haven't heard any news about this...I'm trying to get some of the albums from Berlins minimal techno...but i'm having trouble becaue my local indie rec store is having trouble ordering them and oink doesn't have that many of them... but cool, i'm still feeling around through electronic stuff but its cool to know someone with more knowledge...keep me informed on good stuff.

  3. QUOTE(sti3 @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 06:46 PM) I did cop it, yes. I was a bit disappointed to be honest. Thought the non-dance tracks (most of them) were a bit formulaic, and not necessarily an original formula--sounded a bit like M83 to me. I'm sure the remix joint is good though. kinda sucks that any lighter upbeat sounding electronic is gonna be compared to M83 while any darker, grainier electronic is gonna be compared to Boards of Canada but i see what you are saying. I think he did a damn good job, i mean isn't this his debut? Plus i think that record label is an up and comer...
  4. yeah rowand sucks. do i really need it?

  16. QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 03:13 AM) Nope. Don't fool yourself, pop is pop. I like some pop, but I still know it's pop. no you're wrong.
  17. i would've rather taken my chances with reed
  18. yeah, pop i use in two terms really...there is pop - britney spears and stuff... and then there is pop, i look at as the common themes in music we come to know and love...i wouldn't consider pulp to be pop either...its those pop themes...hard to explain but...i mean mogwai isn't pop...you know?
  19. QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 11:51 PM) You love the fact that these might be innocent people going through this? You studying to be a copywrite lawyer? That's the only way somebody could see something positive about what is happening to that family. Man, I'm all for protection of the artist, but the music industry has been raping the public and it's own artists for too long. I myself look forward to the day where the industry is dead and stinking and the artist themselves are making the money by selling through their own sites only. I'm glad that 90% of the bands I listen to have no part of the major labels. I've had my stuff sold behind my back by somebody making copies of my CD's. He was charging $20 per disc. I told him to lower the price to $5, as the quality wasn't worth the $20. If the industry really cared about the artists that they are supposedly trying to protect, they would give the artist a larger share of the sale, let the artist control their material more, and they would also maybe promote more of the bands. The girls biggest offense is a s***ty taste in music. i've bought 25 albums in 2006...i've downloaded more now then ever in my life...i've bought about 5 times the albums now then i would have normally...none were of a major label except for matador (which is debatable)...indie record labels are loving these lawsuits...their share of the market has increased over the past 5 years
  20. QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 12:06 AM) I'm convinced The Cars are the most beloved band of all time. I know people who hate The Beatles, but I don't know anybody who hates The Cars. Though the new song by The New Cars is just O.K. at best. It might be better with Okasek or Orr (RIP) singing instead of Rundgren, but eh, it's not what one would hope from a band that is trying to be anything related to The Cars. i've met somebody who didn't care for the cars... he thought it was a gimmick at first that i was listening to them, then he started to really like it...same kind of thing with pulp...i think people are scared of that pop music then they realize how enjoyable it is.
  21. wait...so...should i buy that blue album...
