When you gonna stop studying and return to Psynews? I miss you.what a track!
completely lost it dancing to this track at a nature party in dharamshala. good memories
-
No way, mister. What a crazy suggestion. Even the Gods should be forgiven.
-
Well, without comparison everything loses it's meaning. If, through some strange and cruel circumstances, the only music you heard your entire life was the music of N-Sync and The Spice Girls, I wager you'd think it pretty good, when really, compared to other music, it's fucking rubbish and an insult to sound waves. Similarly, the new Younger Brother album doesn't stand out compared to Si and Benji's previous work. It's rather lacklustre.
6/10 for me. Disappointing.
-
Well, you never know but, really, I doubt it. One of the key things I appreciate in music is individuality, the artist's ability to create something unique that no other artists could create or even mimic. This album is a strange mixture of Air, Pink Floyd, Aphex Twin, Massive Attack and has none of the signature Simon or Benji hallmarks. It doesn't stand out.
-
Surely liking/disliking the album has nothing to do with sense, understanding music or cleaning ears and is merely a matter of taste and expectations and whether those expectations were met. May sound strange, and perhaps unfair, but I think I'd enjoy the album a little more and not criticise it quite so much had other artists been responsible for it. The trouble is I can't help comparing it to the last Younger Brother album, Benji's two solo albums, and all of Simon's previous solo/collaborative albums and, held up against any of those, this new album pales into insignificance.

Mine finally arrived yesterday. Listened to it 3 or 4 times now and find, while it's nicely engineered and reasonably catchy, it's, dare I say it, a little bit boring. It's also probably the cheesiest work Simon has done, that's not to say the album is cheesey, but it's not far off. It could also be described as rather shallow as there's practically no multi-layering and I can't help thinking of it as Diet-Shpongle or Shpongle-Lite. At the end of the day, I feel Simon's far too talented a musician to be knocking out this kinda stuff. He can create music like no others can, you hear a piece and you know it's his work, a melody, a synth, a bassline, it's unmistakably Posford. Sadly this sounds like any number of artists could have created it.

Sorry, Santo. I don't know the lyrics, or even the track. Bastard postman.
-
It's not just you, you manky baboon, I have it too.
-
Welcome back, radster
. May I be the first to say psynews has been a poorer place in your absence. Hope life's been treating you well, fella. -
The postman spoke to me. He was saying its one of the better releases by twisted.
-
My copy's still not arrived and I've started thinking the postman's stolen it. Might put a couple of mouse traps inside my letterbox, break his bastard fingers.
-
He probably has child porn on the hard drive.

I'm guessing because my package has to go through more UK postal worker's hands to get to me than it does to Germany. Also, the striking is regionally uneven (some workers in some areas are striking more than others) so depending on the route a piece of mail takes, the delay may be extended.
-
Still not received mine yet thanks to the bloody postal strike.
-
Yeah, Reger and Reznik. Get a room. Perverts.
-
Now you mention it i thought I recognised his voice...
-
You do know I recently kidnapped your mother and dressed her up as my tranny brother, so that means you've been having sex with... eww.the funniest thing is, he doesnt have a sister... brother tranny.
-
All the drama I've missed.
Visiting your uncle again?hey peeps, ive been away for not so long...
-
Then you sold part of your soul. I will pray for you.really? I sold my copies of both his albums... never listened to them at all... founf them rather boring... his compilations tracks were always waaaaaayyyyyy better!
-
I'd say Hallucinogen's Twisted in the best album of 2007 so far. Easy.
-
Misery guts.what is the use of this thread anyway? there will be dosen of such threads anyway, the year is not over yet, its not even half of it, this year is not over.
and transwave? please, its not an album, its compilation of their best works, music made ten years ago and allready released at the same time.
-
Gothic-glam folk. Imagine it, people dressed up in glittering clothes, wearing depressing dark gothic makeup and hair styles, singing gentle, acoustic, heart-felt songs. I think it could prove a huge market.
-
aw, thanks charlie
oh and pls links to stupid cunts posts
I believe all his posts/threads were deleted by the (I won't say fascist) moderators.
-
I see. So he has a history of violence? I always seem drawn towards the nuts.Stupid Cunt is Steve Ishwara, who was long ago banned and for some reason keeps wanting to post on the forum.
His ban was for indefinite period of time, thus he will stay banned.
You can always use messenger if you like him.
He'll probably threaten you to beat the crap out of you too. If not, he has friends all over the world who can come over to your house and beat the crap out of you. You and your friends, of course. He's generous.Just like to add I also agree with Pavel, the forum desperately needs a dedicated Simon Posford section. I think it would prove the beating heart of psynews and would surely attract a lot of new members, including possibly drawing radi out from his self-imposed exile in the Rila mountains.

I still think it a poor track, especially compared to those on IFO. Sorry.
