    The worst Remix ever made...

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    Have you guys heard the infamous Pink Floyd psy remixes? I know of about 7, but others tell me there are 13. All unreleased as far as I know.

    When Hallucinogen was in Finland some years ago I remember he played some PF remix with hevy trance beat over it. Can you tell those 7 you know?

    Lisa Gerrard & Pieter Bourke - Duality

    Warsaw Village Band

     

    Peter Ulrich (have played with DCD)

    I bet if you would ask this in Lisa Gerrards forum you would get tons of more accurate suggestions. :)

    Again? You seen them two times... damn you lucky bastard... :P ...I so wish they would come to Finland.

     

    First I liked just Lisa Gerrards singing but now I like also Brendan Perry... he has very charismatic voice... not meny people have that.

    How do you sort your records?

    Sorry but I just have to show off a bit when it comes to my CD collection, I'm just so damn proud of it :D  ;)  B)

    How is that Timeshard? I have 'Hunab Ku' and it is one of my favourite chill/"trance" albums... once I had opportunity to buy the other one they have released (the one in your picture I guess) but I passed ...just wondering how good it is?

     

    And I'm still pissed because I don't have that glowing 'holographic' artwork which came inside TIP - 3D... (some fu*ker had stolen it from the shop and I didn't know the record should contain that artwork) gwaarrhGJHGgggaas!!!! :P:rolleyes:

    I have only the compilation Quadruped v.1 where they have 3 tracks. Some great atmospheric trance. I don't know much about CoD but one really good chill album is Children of Bong... well.. at least it has 2 superb tracks.

    "Don't argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level and beats you with experience"

    Edit: Sorry, that was supposed to go in the "smartest thing you ever heard" thread.

    When one starts to call people names that's indeen a sign you have run out of any reasonable arguments. I have explained myself pretty well... your argument is that I'm an idiot... not very convincing or mature... is that also some age thing? ;)

     

    There is also a saying: "You get what you order"

    I.e. you should be able to take the heat as adult if you start bashing and questioning peoples personal taste.

    I don't think for example Ooze is super great but I don't bother to bash them because their fans seem to be a bit more sensible.

    225795[/snapback]

    Might the reason you don't see meny people raving about Ooze be simple as: Doh' there aren't nearly as meny Ooze fans as there are Shpongle fans? Saying Ooze fans are more sensible than Shpongle fans sounds to me as accurate as saying Ooze fans eat more porkpie than Shpongle fans. I.e are you pulling off some non-existent statistics out of your hat. If you'r gonna bash something try to at least come up some more reasonable arguments. ;)

     

     

    If it wasn't for all the claims about him being the mozart of our time etc etc I would not bother to comment. I just think that many of the shpongle fans seems to have a very limited view of music and think that there is something wrong with people who think the music is very average.

    I would guess those people are minority... the ones who just discoverd electronic music.

    I must say that I think that the way people glorify Posford as somekind of godfather of ambient seems slightly out of perspective.

    :rolleyes:

     

    I have never seen anybody call Posford a "godfather of ambient". I think you are pulling non-existent reasons out of your pocket just for the sake of bashing something you don't happen to like.

    Quote: "...I find they are overrated and that imo they have to come up with more than one good album, to be in the top 5 of ambient/chill artists out there."

     

    Can you tell me what does number of released albums got anything to do with the fact that some people actually enjoys Shpongles music more than for example Schulzes?

     

    Person #1: Which do you like more FSOL or Schulze?

    Person #2: FSOL.. Definitely! :)

    Person #1: Wow you must be kidding!

    Person #2: :huh: Huh?? What do you mean? I love FSOL!!

    Person #1: You are way overrating it!

    Person #2: :o I am??

    Person #1: Yes, you are. Schulze has released SHED

    loads of more albums than FSOL!!

    Person #2: :unsure: So??

    Person #1: So FSOL should come up at least 20 more

    albums to be on top place!

    Person #2: Really? But I just happen to like FSOL more.

    Person #1: Well don't worry, you are still very young,

    you will understand these things when you get little older...

    Person #2: :blink: *Arms fells off*

     

    i.e. music is question of taste and you are questioning peoples taste by asking "how can you rate shpongle higher than... ?"

     

     

     

    Quote: "If you think recognizing different influences on peoples listening habits in relation to their age is elitistic, than that is up to you, imo it is a quite obvious fact."

     

    Sure it might be obvious fact in cases like 'Britney Spears vs. Ray Charles' or 'Backstreet Boys vs. Frank Zappa'. But with 'Shpongle vs. FSOL'??? Lol.. not obvious at all.... if there is a line you would have to use microscope to see it. See, for example, Sherlock just said he's young and doesn't like Shpongle and I am "old" and love Shpongle. B)

    edit: argh! there is something wrong with the quote function again...

    I knew that somebody would say that and since you got so shpongled, that you even use it as a nick, I am not surprised that it is you  :P

     

    Well the nick is very old... I have had it since this site was opened... and even before that I had a mail account at hotmail called shpongledboy. I just have not managed to get rid of it since I have used it so long. :rolleyes:

     

    Also as I said in the beginning of this thread I did not vote since I could not pic up my favourite in this category... and instead I listed these artists as my favourites (from the poll list only): Shpongle, Future Sound of London, Steve Roach, Banco de Gaia, Ishq, The Infinity Project, Klaus Schulze.

     

    So it was not so much about Shpongle bashing that got me writing... but simply because I did not understand your logic about the rating... and I still don't! You know some people have tendency to bash artists just because they are popular... and I think that's what you were doing.

     

     

     

    But you are right, the poll is about favourite chill/ambient artist and not the best one. I didn't tell anybody what they should do though, that's your interpretation.

    Well ok you didn't ask directly but you wondered how somebody could rate it higher than for example Klaus Schulze which is still weird since when it comes to DIGGIN' music it really doesn't matter a one bit how meny records the artist have released or how intelligent/serious the compositions are... if that would be the case everybody would be listening jazz and classical 24/7.

     

     

     

    Nevertheless I do agree with nemo's observation, that it probably has got something to do with age and what you grew up with. I also have a suspicion, that many people haven't checked out much of the artists, that very much shaped ambient/chill music, but only know what is hip nowadays. And before you flame me: that's just my opinion.  ;) 

     

    It might be true that the people who listen more Schulze, The Orb, Roach etc than Shpongle type of music are a bit older... but in larger perspective the difference is just a drop in ocean.... you see you could go on and on even more deeper and deeper and say that some even more older jazz/classical musician would propably laugh his/her ass off for somebody goin on how The Orb is a LOT better than Shpongle (because the difference between them is so small). Like I said people easily diss popular names... and also at the end of the day the age thing just smells like elitism. IMO.

    I mean seriously, how can you rate shpongle higher than artists like FSOL, Steve Roach,Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze, that produced lots and lots of quality music, when they only released two albums, out of one is quite mediocre? Imo shpongle has to come up with much more to even be in the top five.

    225187[/snapback]

    Well dear Eleria this poll was not about "Who do you think is the most Talented?" but simply "Who is you Favourite?". If Shpongle kicks peoples booty then who are you to say they should rate some other artists higher? That's just weird.
