    But nontheless the music he makes is much more rich and complex than any classical track. Remember, complexity is a subjective matter, and don't flame me for this.

    I think I will flame you, actually...how much "classical" have you heard? Are you referring precisely to that era or to all of so-called "classical" music? Regardless...

     

    First of all the word "rich" is wholly subjective...I can't argue that as I don't even know what it means...as for complexity? Well...melodically, the complexity of most classical pieces far surpasses that of any Shpongle song I've heard (all of them). Harmonically, just the same...rythmically? Yea, you guessed it...

    Textures? Shpongle gets some foothold there but by no means can they really be compared if one is to be honest..."depth"? Shpongle certainly has lots more hidden things going on...of course, it depends...shostakovich or mahler have tons more going on, depending on one's perspective...they just lack little fart noises and breathing noises and small giggles, etc etc......

     

    Once again I must state: there has been and never will be another Mozart, and this comes from someone who isn't particularly fond of Mozart (though, not too familar, either, given his body of work...I must say, though, I'd take Requiem over a Shpongle album any day :))

     

    So yea, anyway, you're talking out of your ass. :rolleyes:

    Dj with most technique

    I can tell a lot of people here don't know much about DJing...and I even I don't know that much really...

     

    I saw Dmitri once (well twice, actually, but the first time I can't remember heh) and he was probably the most intersting as far as mixing goes...

    Supposedly the faster part in My head feels like a frisbee (the part with the horns) is from some european (I can't remember which country anymore, but I think it was northern Europe) morning show..

     

    I guess I don't care anymore about these things although when I first heard about it, I was a little dissapointed...

    OK. I take it you want exactly FLAMENCO guitars, right? I'll have to find a good synth first, but I'll upload it in some time. If an ordinary guitar or electric guitar is enough, I can do it right now.

     

    Also look at what Nemo said: It's easy to make the guitar, but hard to make it sound flowing. However, looking at what else Posford can do, I'd bet he is able to do that too.

    Let me know when you do because I don't believe you. I want to see you make some realistic flamenco tremolo or strumming or rest-stroke runs :P

     

    Can you even tell the difference between the sound (just on one note, let's say) between a flamenco guitar and a classical guitar? Between a nice flamenco guitar and a crap one? Do you know what the difference in playing technique is between classical and flamenco that causes the sound to be different?

     

    I'd like to hear a real sounding electric guitar too...but I think that would be easier to fake...but again: can you make a jazz guitar tone vs. a heavy metal lead vs. a country/blues player...I have yet to hear a true to life replication of any type of guitar tone...or pretty much any real instrument at that, though they're getting closer with phyiscal modeling type synthesis...

    Hey I have an opinion about something!

    Teach us more oh Hels the wise one. We just can't get enough of your higher than thou moralization. It's comforting to know that when someone expresses an opinon, you'll be there to say "it's all subjective" and then we'll know that we were wrong to have an opinion in the first place.

     

    Honestly, this is all you have been saying lately. "It's all subjective".... like it's some sort of a secret message from the gods. Talk about being blinded by the obvious.

    Ha! I think you quite missed the point...to me it's more about this attitude that your opinion MATTERS...what exactly is the point of saying such such and such is the best such and such...or that you like these things more than others (especially when I'm certain there is tons out there that you haven't yet listened to...)

    I see nothing wrong with recommendations and discussions, but in this forum I see absolutely no depth to it...it's all just I like/I don't like...best/worst...it's making lists for crying out loud...

     

    And please don't forget that I clearly see the hypocrisy in my messages...I'm just trying to stir people a little, that's all haha

    Best/worst hangover tracks

    There's no such thing...it is a creation of yours based entirely on your subjective experience of listening to certain tracks or music while you have a hangover...

     

    That being said, I think any trance is horrible hangover/too fucked up music...BOOM BOOM BOOM...bad idea...

    Monitors

    Quick question: do you really need monitors for producting music?! I mean, what exactly is the purpose; if you were to use really nice headphones, or a really nice set of speakers what's the difference?

     

    I guess what I'm saying is: please explain monitors to me! :)

    Some prog-metal band did a H.P. Lovecraft concept album

     

    I don't remember the band but it was based off of the Unknown Dream Kadath (I think that's what its called)...

     

    I never liked Lovecraft too much...maybe I'll give him another shot one of these days...
