futureimage Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 This is amazing. Didn't Tom want the whole robot band thing on Shobaleader and JAS?

Guest teetime Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 And so this sadness comes out in the music they play, and strangely becomes one of the reasons why the public like them because they seem to be able to evoke strong emotions in their audience. But when the public goes home, the robots play their own music which is more fun and to do with their playful aspect —they think back to being young robots, before they were employed in the sphere of public entertainment, and remember the silly antics they used to get up to. So the first section of the piece is them entertaining the public and being sad, then the second section is them having fun when the public goes home, and lastly the third section is when the public comes back and they are sad again.

Joyrex Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Amazing technical achievement, although the song itself reminded me too much of his Ultravisitor-era stuff, which I didn't care for.

Tracks like Ultravisitor and Tetra Sync are a bit clunky prog monsters with lots of redundancy. *Hoping this track hints at the new shobaleader one release he wanted to release last year.

That's an interesting comment. I think it's important to take into account what Tom was trying to accomplish with ultravisitor before saying that. Also I found Hello Everything far more proggy than Ultravisitor. Ultravisitor was much more improvisational, less polished, etc. Back on topic! I'm in the same boat as you! I hope this is the next imagining of the shobaleader venture!

Guest cult fiction Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Richard was supposedly working on similar stuff years ago, but now we're even less likely to ever hear it. I don't think he would want to be seen as following Tom's lead.

It just happens that yours is wrong. lol. How in mighty fuck is this bland? It breaks so many barriers. 78 finger guitar? Programming robots to play music beyond human ability? Tom's bass skills combined with his drum programming passed through these robots which play the instruments in a quasi analogue way..? I don't see any angle you could look at this that doesn't suggest groundbreaking.

Joyrex Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 For me, that's the biggest takeaway - it seems more emphasis was placed on "can I do it" versus "let's make a kick ass song AND have fucking robots play it!"
