great compilation

Hey, check out this compilation:
http://www.discogs.com/release/161704

All I can say is omg, what a bunch of absolute tunes. This is how compilations should really be done, not crap like ISOS 4.

Beauty of noise, innit.

Gescom and Merzbow on TA? Fun times..

Don't mean to sound closed minded but you would take that experimental, kind of unlistenable stuff over the uplifting and melodic songs on ISOS 4? That stuff might serve great as a form of art/expression and just experimentation with sound (a concept), but not as something that can truly be enjoyable to listen to...

Fair play mate, it's all about the mood really, isn't it?

The album might be great, but dont expect much confidence on here from artists noone has heard about it, in a genre not many like, with tracknames you cant say out loud

Well when I listen to music I like to listen to stuff that is enjoyable. I mean people can reach their own, but I think the vast majority of people would prefer more structured music to listen to, while someone who is just into experimentation would make that stuff. That doesn't mean they would sit down and expect to pop this compilation in their CD player and get an enjoyable experience from it. Sure i've heard stuff from there artists and others who make similar stuff (like Pan Sonic or Aphex Twin), and appreciate it's artistic or concept type approach, but it is benefiting the artist as an artist, it is not neccessarily designed for the listener as something they can enjoy.

Aye, I get ya.

Anyway, here's the end to the album, it's a pretty emotional way to finish things...

He already dropped almost utter shit at Disneyland. I can't speak for n0bben, but either way, yes, yes I would. Because this is worse.

Well said.

I went as soon as i read "Style: Abstract, Minimal, Experimental"

Can't enjoy this stuff..

its defintely an aquired taste and not for everyone. i have a friend who composes this kind of stuff and have seen live shows where they played this stuff with lights and video. it was a real awesome experience.

Yeah thats cool. In a way Trance is an aquired taste too, especially the instrumental stuff, so is Classical music. I mean the vast majority of people I know aren't used to Trance. I'm not really used to Classical, but some people just love it. So definitely it is all a matter of what someone is used to.

YOU OWE ME NEW SPEAKERS!!!

Posted by Magnetonium on Jun-28-2005 10:40:

Personally, I've never liked Abstract and Experimental, but oh my, I absolutely love Minimal, especially Minimal Techno and Minimal Funk/House. Detroit Minimal techno makes me go

I like lots of kinds of music, but this compilation is too far out of my spectrum. Its not much minimal as it is abstract/experimental.
