ugh

yuck

The part where they're rambling on about having a background in "classical" music just makes me

Fucking hell.

I feel so bad for that orchestra.

I feel bad for posting that link. I must admit I've always been a sucker for orchestra/electronic/rock collaborations. I love Metallica's S&M album

but anyway I thought that the Nero thing had potential, even though I'm not into his stuff.

but yeh...

*goes and reads the rules*

I wouldn't, it's the BBC Phil, they don't give a shit as long as they're on the clock.

horrible

how much more over can a genre get?

has anyone heard a wubwub in a kids' tv show theme yet?

what? there's barely any 'dubstep' in it at all. tbh if i wrote something like that i'd be pretty fucking satisfied.

Saw this pop up on a bunch of stupid girls' facebook statuses and wanted to bitterly respond but bit my cyber tongue. Glad to see I wasn't alone in feeling slightly repulsed by this.

come on, there's loads of good examples of this sort of crossover: saturn returnz, jeff mills and the montpelier philharmonic orchestra, those warp concerts... er...

The Jeff Mills collab was horrid. I remember hearing 'The Bells' done with an orchestra and it just sounded terrible.

heard some of this on the radio this morning and it was dire.

Someone sent me this dubstep soundboard thing. I don't know how you could use it without realizing that this sort of dubstep is completely generic and unoriginal, but I suppose some people are lucky enough to not be burdened by that sort of problem.

Finally, there's something in this thread that justifies me coming in here.
