larry heard is great.

if you want to check out more larry heard style tracks which arnt written by him listen to the first railway raver album, 'drop acid not bombs'. he does heard better then afx and heard on thst disc.

* the clever sheep realised the music is based on electronics. the starting point is now which area of electronics to explore. electronics v. important

* analord is not a bandwagon. it is a masterpiece series to show the sheep the way forward and it worked perfectly

* VST/laptop/glitch/kid606 had to die and only the leader (because of his influence,reach and ability) could lead everyone away

* ceephax was too underrated/unknown and that had to change because he's a true genius

* autechre fans are confused (hah, perfect!!!!)

* drexciya = genius, an example for all to follow proudly

* The Star Wars argument:

first 3 star wars films are FUCKIGN WICKED!!! fucking amazing space fights done on real models and real matting and filmed on real film. real puppets that exist in reality then you film it. the more "real" the better. last 3 star wars films all CG crap all digital crap all CG fucking JAR JAR FUCKING POO. nearly every shit done on computer. george lucas deluded piece of poo director. you see? now everything in music is moving towards the classic fucking 3 star wars films away from the 3 SHITTY digital modern computer films. it's not a bandwagon it's teh true way

* aphex is genius, totally glad he took the right direction. he's the greatest electronic musician of all time imo

i cant remember all the arguments but ill put all the main ones up on my geocities site when i remember

"explore electronics" is pretty much the most important idea at the moment and is the big thing for a long time until they start making computers not based on electronics any more. quantum computers? or some shit

the real question is why people think that the tuss sounds like analord. that shits not even close

on a side note It's just really shameful in general to me that the Roland drum machine & 303 fetishism has gone this far,

 

This is the same as saying "The Asian culture has really gone too far with their use of rice." Roland sounds are a staple of electronic music. Techno=Roland and Roland=Techno. If anything, the fetishism hasn't gone far enough; consider that most rock albums use one or two guitars, a set of drums, and a bass guitar. It could be a lot worse i.e. 78 minutes of Rebirth 1.0 At least most "copyists" people are mentioning in this thread make an effort to use a Roland/"Analord" backbone and add nice things to the palette like DSP edits, interesting pads and synth voicings, and enhanced rhythms.

hmm...not sure I agree. Recorded electronic music has been around since the 1940s , and it existed for a long time without a 303. 303's are obviously a staple of acid (well, more than that..without them acid wouldn't exist) but to say it's a staple of electronic music as a whole is to ignore a much broader genre.

fair point.

*thinks about making Pierre Schaeffer/Ceephax mashup*

boxcutter has dipped his wick in analord from time to time, namely Bloscid on Glyphic

I agree--that's why I said "techno" in my post--intended to encompass electronic music designed for dancing and the offshoots it begat: acid, trance, IDM, + on +on.

thank you for changing your avatar

Is there an analord bandwagon? The only truly derivative post-analord stuff i can think of is last step, which is SHIT.

I think analord is a gentle reminder that making electronic music can be fun, that the joy of the process is just as important as the end product. I think druqks left too many people languishing at their computers desperately sequencing their next 'drill n bass' masterpiece, which is a miserable way to make music.

It always comes across in the tunes. Does it sound like flashbulb had any fun whatsoever making any of his music? No.

That new boxcutter album sounds absolutely lush. The closest boxcutter has come to an analord track is bloscid from glyphic.

Woops, he said it first.

The new one sounds really great! Lamp post funk is ace.

what the hell was the star wars argument? is aphex twin using puppets now? i'm confused :confused:

I'm confused.

Why does the equipment you use matter?

fenix funk ?

i never liked the boxcutter i heard before... i just clicked on arcadia 202 on that mu previews page.... sounds nice... much better than older stuff that was pretty boring from what i heard

agree with chunky post pretty much (lol autechre fans are confused)

throw down your guitar and pick up a synthsizer

agree

perhaps the auditory realm reflects the clothing industry

the tuss does sound like analord (fenix funk in particular as ludd said). it's r.d. cool j. using analogue gear; why wouldn't it sound like analord?

most of you are in fucking denial. the first boxcutter album was great now he's getting shitty like laststep. i mean, people actually listen to that shit?.. some of analord was good but to use the awful sounding tr439 whatever the fucking shit it is, is a step in the wrong direction. its all shit for fucksake, u fucking weird artists, make some fucking music again worthy of a purchase.

from now on i'll look forward to wagaga's releases.. he's the guy who's actually trying and he's producing some great music. fuck all the other knobbers trying to be retro, you've lost the plot, now hand in your fucking credibility badge.

You just dissed most of watmm

whoa.

obviously made on the same equipment. but the melody and beats are pretty weak compared to rdj.

Oh no certainly not the same quality in production, but you see where the inspiration for laricheard and bwoon dub came from.

Joshier is a fucking retard.

I have a hatred for this awful trend for old drum machines and boring used sounds and music.

If someone does it right and it sounds good i'll be on it, if its a bit poop then i wont, thats the only way i see things in terms of the sounds used.
