Tetsu Inoue - Ambiant Otaku

Well no! I am sayin the total opposite if you would care to re-read. The biggest pile of crap is (not would be) liked by the majority. Ever heard 50 cent, G-Unit etc? Absolute talentless crap that millions of people enjoy. These people (like you I guess) don't really see music as art. Music that they don't like (like you) they say is utter crap without thinking about tastes being different. What you, pop boy, think is crap someone else really really loves so yes it is art. You don't have to like it for it to be art. In fact that is IMO the essence of art. But pop people don't understand this becaue they don't see music as art. With your statement that focusing on music is saying is that you are a casual listener. The problem with your argument is that while you think you are giving the albums the benefit of the doubt by listening to them while "lounging around" and "going to sleep" you are still not focused on them. Be you reading or thinking of other things your full undivided attention is not on the music. Try listening to an album and writing down what you hear and how it makes you feel. It will bring the music to whole new level for you. Not that I expect you to do any of this as you have proved time and time again that you do not see music as art and that you are just a pop boy! You and your old banned moniker of sunwolf(?) have left many hints to this fact. Not that there is anything wrong with being a pop boy but I find it quite sad that you can't experience music on the same level as the rest of the people here. You will say you do but believe me you don't. So next time you open a hater thread just think before writing things like "95% of it is just completely uninspired and pointless" Think is it really? Is this a lazy piece of shit like 50 cent or 1200 mics last album? Or is just something I don't like. There is tons of stuff I don't like but I can still appreciate it's artistic merit. Something that is so commonly lost on pop twats.

Cheers! Will check that out Of course it doesn't pop boy!

To be honest I have far too many books I need to read before I buy anything else and my wishlist grows like my music wish list

Any new albums that are great for summer? I've been listening to some old Prog which fits the bill. I'm playing a set at the beach this summer again so I'd like some coold beach tracks (chill)

Well it got half the views it needed in 6 months. Maybe we can do it by the end of the year.

So was this released yet? Nothing on Saiko

POTS - Candy From The Strange Side A beach party! Hundreds of girls in bikinis dancing under the setting sun maybe somewhere in North Thailand

It's a damn close poll! Slinky were great though, for me it was a tough choice

POTS - Are You Scientific Enough?

I can understand not liking Ishq but this statement... ...just shows what an immature listener you really are! There are so many albums that are definitely mood pieces, you know you have to be in the right mood to enjoy them! A lot of ambient is too subtle with slight key changes and more emphasis on creating an atmosphere than a catchy hook so pop listeners like yourself will never get into it. Some people view their music as art, for me art is usually something that is adored by a very few people and either not understood or just disliked by most. For me art is the opposite of pop which is something a lot of people will just like. Art though often needs time to fully understand so when talking about music that requires a bit of focus. Just try it, try taking a CD you found was boring (not one you hated) relax, let yourself be distraction free in a darkened room, sit in a comfortable chair (or as you probably still live at home with your mum lie down on your wee single bed) and lets your mind drift through the music. This is how I came to love Ishq as before I felt pretty much the same as you but I was sick and I needed something to relax me so I put it on, there were no distractions and I have never been so happy to have been sick, I learned a valuable lesson. But then again you might be a terminal pop listener but most 15 year olds are similar to you so maybe there is hope!

No but it sounds good from your description. The cover however looks awful

Well the movie sub-forum is a lot more popular it seems but I struggle to think of many movies I have seen that are better than the book. I love descriptions that I can interpret in my own head, creat my own faces, places and expressions. Seeing someone else's image of the descriptions usually leaves me cold. Don't get me wrong, I love movies, they are much easier to digest and take much less time but I don't get so involved. When I read I often think deeply about the story & as it takes me much longer to read I think about it for longer (hence more deeply I guess) so I feel more involved. the only movie I can think that I preferred to the book was American Psycho just because I don't want such detailed descriptions of Phil Collins obviously I am not counting the kind of books that were written with a movie in mind. I saw at the bookshop the other day "Terminator Salvation" which I can guess is not a rivetting read. So what do you guys think? Is anyone here?

I keep buying new books then re-reading my old ones before I get to them

H.G. Wells - The Invisible Man woohoo! 100th post in this forum! This place is kicking

VA - Wider Horizons (LSD)

I'd second Principles of Flight - Chaos Opera easily the best of the year so far in my book! Listened to it 30 times in a row and then gave it a break and it was still great! Good sign

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (Minilogue Remix)

Nekton Falls

Are you a smart new bot or a totally fucked up coked up human? Your posts seem to have something to do with the topic title but nothing to do with the topic? Kick Bong - Cup of Tea you must be a bot right?

At the moment I am reading 20世紀の少年　(20th century boys)

Great! It does seem a wee bit quicker

Hell yeah! Even if you hate SWM then you will still probably love this ace, mental, craxy track

A nice review but it really would be nice if you started a thread with the album cover and album stats; album cover name etc!

I always thought of it as Psytrance with broke the mold and experimented with more crazy sounds. Probably it evolved in to the Suomi style. Always thought of Matsuri Productions & Psy Harmonics to be quite experimental
