actually get lucky, well unless you playing for like a crowd that needs a wub wub will sound great in a club. Softer kick drums and dynamics work well when the sound system is good. That is why a 909 sounds really really really small on your speakers but will have a huge impact on big speakers. Those kick drums that sound huge which tend to have a very loud transient component are harder to drive and just don't quite sound the way you think they would live.
if anything get lucky , and the weaknesses it has would not be audible in a club environment. The sparse arrangement allows more room for the bass, the horribly recorded vocals won't be noticeable. |

I stopped reading right there. You made a thread ting on their score for Tron 2.0. Just because it happened on another forum doesn't mean it didn't happen. Who do you think you're fooling at this point with yet another lie? Or are you trying to claim a score isn't an "album" and so doesn't count? |
no i made a post in a thread regarding my take on their score. I wouldn't bother making a thread because i had 0 expectations in their abilities to score.
And no, a score is not an album. As far as what counts ? what you think matters in life really doesn't interest me in any way. I don't particularly like you that much and find you rather hypocritical in that you criticize my use of language and concepts i learned via my schooling and work via your language and concepts you learned except your only purpose is to undermine someone for that sake. I do it because someone says something they can't support and it really is the only way to explain to someone why perhaps their opinion lacks foundation and the reason is because of concepts they are not aware of.
Your need to own people when you are often wrong but veil that fact with such pretty wording happens on a daily basis. I like music, i like to talk about music, and the only time i resort to having to question one's ability to parse musical concepts is when they make allegations with 0 support. A clear example of your need to just pass your own to others is say your admission to listening to the UK hard trance and then for some reason you seem to have this hate for scot project who is pretty much the guy that invented the genre which the UK hard house scene tried to do in their usual aesthetically questionable fashion. The reason is because your argument was not with Project Project but rather your awful and childish tendency to use irrelevant things as a springboard to be a dick. Your obsession with having to be right just makes you sound like a fat bitter brit that needs to get his jimmy wacked.
The only dick swinging i do is when i slap your mum in the face. |

I listened to UK hard trance in 2003 when I was 15 years old. You still like Scot Project now, in your mid-30s.
I'm not even going to comment on your accusation of using knowledge to undermine others, that's simply too rich. |

| Kicks with short tail sound better on big system, a big low end tail kills the rest of the sounds, all you need is some extra attack and strong mid to make it pump. But only a good kick won't make the people move and i think get lucky is a way too chilled track only suitable for disco lovers. |

i've surprised myself humming to it's "melody" but it's gay music is just that has a good hook, enough to outshine 90% of people but people on this forum should ask for more there are better tracks with good hooks too. |

Read the Pitchfork review. This plum little bit here:
| quote: | To really understand where they’re coming from here, you have to go back to the height of the album era, which was really just a blip in pop music history. Three things made it different: 1) it was the time just before MTV; 2) it was the time just before the CD; 3) it was the time just before the Walkman. All three hit around the dawn of the 80s and had a profound influence on how recorded music was experienced. MTV, in addition to foregrounding the visual presentation of artists, returned music to a singles-focused realm. The CD did its part too, making skipping ahead so easy and allowing for the listener to jump around at will. (It also made artwork less important and introduced the idea of records as “data”.) And the Walkman's convenience opened up new spaces for listening while decreasing sound quality, a trade-off that has driven the technology behind popular music consumption ever since.
So RAM is best appreciated as a counter to these trends. It’s not that “all music should be this” but that “some music could be this.” By the time you make it to the album’s astonishing final stretch, it’s hard not to think that Daft Punk have succeeded at what they set out to do. |
only makes me go, "Well, D'UH!" How long have Ulitmae been releasing music like this?
I think what's annoying me the most about RAM is this notion that Daft Punk are the first to be doing this. Surely even the twats at Pitchfork should know better. |

| That's what you get for reading Pitchfork. I cannot think of anything less necessary in the world than a Pitchfork review of a Daft Punk album. |

What can I say? Curiosity got the better of me. :p |

I tried listening to the album and it just wasn't my cup of tea.
There's nothing more I can contribute to the conversation than that, because for me it's more of a matter of taste in music than anything technical they're doing with their sound.
It was boring IMO. |
