  1. The Tiesto remix of Barber's Adagio for strings

    232713[/snapback]

    I heard Tiesto play this himself live a week ago and it actually fit nicely in his set. I'm pretty tired of the original and this gave some new approach to the track. I didn't really like it either when I first heard it at home though.

     

    Can't really think of bad remixes, I guess I try to avoid hearing them in the first place. I mean, stuff like Alien Project remix of an Astral Projection song... why bother?

  2. Balloon Dance by Metal Sharon (who the hell is that??!) is just pointless techno crap.

    apparently metal sharon is the long anticipated simon vs eat static collaboration. so much for that then :)

     

    this is from a simon interview on the hallucinogen site:

     

    "Your collaboration album with Merv Peppler of Eat Static is up for release on Twisted. Someone said it might not be what most people would expect, so could you give us some hints to what we can expect?"

     

    "umm.. i don't know really... we just had fun in the studio, trying to make each other laugh... if one of us worked on our own on a mix, that would be the test: it had to make the other person laugh, when they heard it. it is called 'Metal Sharon', and all i can say is...it sounds like `Metal Sharon`!"

     

  3. his talking about the "samba" part in my head feels like a frisbee. i gotta say that i've also heard this part in many places. of course i only started to notice it after i heard it in shpongle, but it definitely is a song that comes across often..

     

    i'm not commenting anything else in this thread because like some others, i don't really care whether they use samples or not as long as it sounds good. and i'm sure that if they're using parts from other people's songs, they have a permission for it.

  4. Well, I don't know how yoy missed the classical elements in Simons track... Maybe you should listen it once more... :(

    Actually you're right Kailash.. I listened to the comp today after a long time. I had forgotten about Simon's beautiful track, and the Spacedrifters track has some nice piano parts too. Definitely some classical elements there.. My mistake. B)

  5. Imagine a bunch of people claiming every release to be the best ever, then imagine another bunch informing everyone that they have just ordered the release and can't wait to get it, then imagine yet another bunch writing that they have been waiting for this release for a long time and believe that it will be the best ever and then the final bunch congratulating the reviewers of their great reviews.

     

    Here's an example of what most threads tend to look like:

    And what's wrong with that thread? DeathPosture posts the same reviews here and yes, they're good. I don't think that thread differs that much from the reviews on this board.

  6. i've not yet found anything as good as shpongle, but i have to say that i haven't really explored ambient music that much, though i'd like to.. some of my favourite stuff besides shpongle is celtic cross, fsol & ott.
