It seems like a big chunk of these people lack any real perspective of what's been done electronically before, therefore a lot of that music sounds to me often aimless and superflous.

yeah but all those early grime riddims like wiley's "ice rink" that sound like they were made on playstations are amazing

POOKIE, YOU COULD GET LYNCHED FOR POSTING THAT ON THIS FORUM!!

I love all the ones you've mentioned. Acid Mothers can be disappointing, though, and the same goes for some Miles Davis records.

Sure, Grime though is a different kettle of fish to these ears. For a start, musicians make better use of bass sounds etc.

i can understand the appeal of making music on 8bit systems, but like circuit bending it seldom leads to interesting results

It comes down to talent and not messing around. There's a Swedish 8bit band called Puss that I've always liked a lot. They play the shit out of those things, though.

Exactly, I used to make music with 8 bit sounds but now the sound sickens me. It's too... I dunno... there's no depth to it beyond "oh, it's like an old video game!"

Anyway, I'd agree Can and Faust -- while good -- were pretty disappointing...

Everyneurotic · 05.28.2008, 10:26 AM

i say destroy all music.

05.28.2008, 10:51 AM

Please don't, or else we'll be able to hear only what people have to say about it.

Explain, please. Are you talking about their last album ?

atsonicpark · 05.28.2008, 12:10 PM

Yeah, their last album sucked and was mighty boring. Actually, they're not THAT good of a band to begin with -- but they certainly never "sucked" except that last album. That dude's such a fucking good guitar player. He's pretty much the only reason to bother listening to that band. Worst vocalist I've heard since Little Jimmy fucking Urine.

Toilet & Bowels · 05.28.2008, 12:13 PM

i heard some stuff by les savy fave about 5 or 6 years ago, i can't remember what it sounded like but i can remember thinking why listen to les savy fav when you can listen to the jesus lizard?
