Guest Josefmcb Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 i haven't been able to make the time for music in the last many months, so even though this track isn't exactly epic i'm still chuffed! :) Cubus - Iso's Dream i'm not too sure about the beat, and i just noticed the ride cymbal's a bit too loud.. ...any comments much appreciated! Cheers! :) btw our last live set is available at www.ilovecubus.co.uk Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/415-cubus-isos-dream/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
autopilot Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 this is really fucking cool. i love the beat. it's just got a great flow to it. this listen is just through laptop speakers, too. i can't wait to hit it up with headphones later.

mcbpete Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 (edited) Awesomo man. Is the start influenced by the MSN jam session we did yersturns :) The main sample thing is Isoba based yeah (hmm maybe I don't mean Isoba) ? But yeah man that bethe top king tennis appreciation fund. Well done man I missed all yo' tracks a la Summer. Here marks the start of the cubus return possibly after the rather quiet middle part of the year ? Catch you later man (nacho) Pete..

Guest Josefmcb Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 (edited) cheers, earvalve. let us know what you think when u've had a proper listen..! pete, i didn't do no tracks in the summer other than 'city' and 'mr giolini's colourful clockwork sofa' or whatever it was called, on account of i was in guatemala and then slaving away for the rest of it innit...(wait..maybe that's what u meant....?) (and yeah there's a few samples from the MSN jam, namely the isoba one, the horn-type-thing that pitch-bends and some sorta percussive bits that sound like a duck or a frog or something) Edited November 23, 2005 by Josefmcb Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/415-cubus-isos-dream/#findComment-8389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Marlow Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 there was one small moment i was unsure... that was when the deep piano sounds came in... i was unsure where you going at, and also the deepness was quite unexpected, but in fact its very crystal sound. did you record the piano yourself ? great! awesome intrack development. nodding rhythm, variation of frequencies... main idea & heart, blending structure. i'd say this is the best stuff i heard from you so far. ps: do you have comparable material ? pm me bout that plz- max retropublik Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/415-cubus-isos-dream/#findComment-8403 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chimp Logic Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 F*ck yeah. This is lovely. Fantastic atmo going on here. When that opening detuned glock note drops...WARM. Love it. At times there was a great 'Bladrunner-eque' vibe happening but then you introduce these nice ployrhytmic layers and it takes it somewhere else. Really great track. Nothing sounded too loud or off at all in my cans or through my monitors. Very balanced. More please? :) Thanks for sharing!

Guest yan_g of course! Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) IRAIL (i review as i listen) starts pretty well, nice ambience(?), makes the expectations high for the track ;) i like the sounds a lot, a bit disappointed by the beat :( like the percussive sounds around 4:00 but it calms when i expect things to get more intense :/ i don't dig the way the track is structured. i like when all the elements come back. i guess not a track for me or maybe i should give it more listens and get used to the way it works. it *sounds* good anyway, quiet but active. hope my review is not too useless :P edit: actually listening for the 3rd time in a row while instant messaging and i quite like having it as a soundtrack for my discussion :) thx Edited November 30, 2005 by yan_g of course!

Guest wasps Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) peeeeeeaceful. really dug this - the awkward loop of the thumb piano, the lovely build of the break. it's a really lovely tune to start a day with. edit btw did you know cubus is a budget clothes shop in norway (like a norsk primark)? i'm guessing not... ;) Edited November 30, 2005 by wasps Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/415-cubus-isos-dream/#findComment-14515 Share on other sites More sharing options...

springymajig Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 This is really really really cool! Very nice textures.... this is a very unique style and sound. I reackon it has a sort of world music vibe to it... like... it makes me picture old temples in jungles and stuff like that... which is refreshing for electronic music.

lumpenprol Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 very sweet track, listening to it on repeat. All the repeating, fluttering, panning notes have an unsettling effect on headphones, sort of like Drane from Autechre's first peel session. But the track is ultimately warmer and more peaceful. Nice and hypnotic. Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide lumpenprol's signature Hide all signatures After this I listened to geogaddi and I didn't like it, I was quite vomitting at some tracks, I realized they were too crazy for my ears, they took too much acid to play music I stupidly thought (cliché of psyché music) But I knew this album was a kind of big forest where I just wasn't able to go inside. - lost cloud I was in US tjis summer, and eat in KFC. FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work! So i hope this woman is not like kfc chicken, otherwise she'll be pulled to pieces. -organized confused project Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/415-cubus-isos-dream/#findComment-18544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
