woah a lot of new content

holy shit, snippits of richard fucking around with gear and sound design

kinda what I wanted, actually. perfect accompaniment to Syro

that's a lot of snippets. I'm streaming the new Andy Stott first.

An accurate description of Syro from the man himself, which explains why Syro isn't as dark as some of the stuff he put out in the past.

"Also like i mention below with tunings, mankind needs as much positive/trippy/awakening/next level non dark thought provoking vibes as possible right now, we are living in a mega dark spiritual age and its 2easy to channel that into our music but I think we have to try really hard to drag ourselves out of it and dream up new mind expanding music & art, thats definitely not boring nu age yawnsville."

doesn't relate to syro, circlont14 is darker then bloody hell

From pt. 2 of the Noyze interview...

  Quote

dave: I see wildlife get a mention on the klob list, can u tell me wot sort of wildlife, & how wild woz it!?

rich: the birds in the piano track! I actually made that track a lot better technically but when i recorded it originally, it was a super spesh time in my life and those birds were part of it so i just had to go with that recording of it, straight to nagra tape, love the sound of pianos to tape.

Guess that explains my thoughts a few posts above. Can't argue with that decision.

Your darkness is my light, then. :) You also only quote a song, I was talking about SYRO, the album. I don't think Syro is dark and evil, but it has that positive, trippy, awakening, next level non dark vibe going on. I think he's right in saying that it's so much easier to make dark and evil music in this day and age while making positive music that's not cheesy is the real challenge.

I don't know, I think there's a lot of positive music out there that isn't cheesy across many different genres. Music really runs the gamut right now.

And music is such an abstract thing that is really dependant on the listener. My positive, is someones negative & vice versa.

That track to me is all about fun, with its ludicrously jazzy basslines and vocals about little socks. But a lot of people seem to get a darker vibe from it, not sure what's going on there. 180db_ is another weird one, despite all the aggressive sounds it's probably the most stupid fun track on the album.

Holy shit the snarf from 4bit is in an afx son track:

https://soundcloud.com/richarddjames/rock-up

What does this mean? I can't tell from the live recordings of 4bit if the snarf is present, so either afx's kid sampled the snarf from 4bit or the snarf was added to 4bit from the kid's track

Or perhaps the whole 'my 5 year old dl'ed a cracked DAW and made his own tracks and uploaded them' thing is all a load of shit...

of course it's a load of shit, he's 5 and this is AFX talking

lol, there are movers in the office today shuffling some desks around, and one of the guys just came up to my desk and asked "where'd you get the sticker and card from?" pointing at the Syro dropcard/sticker; I just said "from the record" and he said "cool" and walked off. Guess I should have been all like "lol d00d u like idmz too omg" and then played some synthesizers

Sorry I don't think the snarfs in 4bit/rock up are the same actually, was previously listening on my work headphones which are not the greatest. I guess his son is just a chip off the ol' snarf.

i friggin hate snarf

the bridge/breakdown part of Minipops is so ripped off from Orbital's "You Lot"

Big fan of Rob Swire here, but he's kind of missing the point about releasing more matured material for posterity versus releasing the "latest and hottest".

lol at the guy from Pendulum and Knife Party having a problem with the way an authentic artist releases music

slowed down, syro, i thnk it's recorded to vhs, well one of them sounds like it.
