Speak for yourself you fucking deuce. It's a good album but don't try to quell and self corroborate your own intelligence by making out you need some sort of higher plane of perception in order to fully 'get it.' Good fucking grief.

If all you do is listen to club oriented EDM music, you will never truly appreciate TBU. Its a fact. The reason I mentioned the artists that I did, is because you hear jazz elements, rock elements, fusion elements, and electronic elements of all sorts throughout TBU. Classical elements are all over the place as well. The only bad thing about TBU is the fact that you really have to LISTEN to it in order to really enjoy it. Now Mikey, why don't you go and wank-off to your favorite mediocre PvD album?

Bullshit. I've been listening to jazz since I was a little kid, and I started playing it in middle school. But I've never been able to get into BT. He doesn't have any feeling if you ask me.
I know a lot of musicians who are technically amazing, but they have no feeling. And I know people who aren't very technical, but they can make you feel their music.

Zild listen to This Binary Universe, but maybe you already did. If so, then listen to track 2 again which is titled "Dynamic Symmetry." You'll see what I mean if you do listen to it. Also, the way a lot of this stuff is laid out on this album is kinda reminiscent of what Miles did on "On The Corner." The weird sounds of the wah-wah pedal on his trumpet and all the other random sounds are similar to what BT did with short-circuiting the devices he used on this album to create his own random sounds.

Okay mate. And you be sure to crack on with the self-deluding grandeurs of your superior taste. Us lesser minions will just sit here and struggle to just about comprehend less intelligent albums.
What a fucking bellend and what a crock of shit.

I know what you're talking about but I don't feel it. I guess it is like ballet dancing. I'm sure ballet is very technical and you have to be a very good dancer, but to me it is devoid of feeling.

Bloody hell. I love BT and TBU and you've managed to annoy the hell out of me. You couldn't sound like more of a wanker if you tried.
Pretentiousness? Not at all. I dig the album and that's why I felt it was important to talk about it. Mikey, there's nothing "leet" about this thread at all. If you didn't come off like a jerk-off in your initial post, I wouldn't have made the PvD statement. Everyone deserves to listen to whatever they like. My initial post wasn't a pompous post either, I simply believe BT is just above all the people I mentioned when it comes to production.
