That's incredible! But expected too. Two people can assess a work of art and come to opposite conclusions about it. I'd be interested to know more about WHY you think it's cheesy and/or cheap, and not in a confrontational way at all! These questions are very interesting to me.

I soooo not agree. I think it's cheesy and cheap.... If Techno would ever evoke these feelings in me, I would not like it. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Andrew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 10.

My god what a heartbreaker! Techno has a hard time inspiring the same emotions, generally speaking of course...there's such _ambition_ in a song like 'You Don't Know My Name', it's soaring, beautiful, and melancholy. -----Original Message----- From: Cyclone Wehner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 March 2004 00:29 To: 313 Detroit Subject: Re: (313) what's your favorite track/album right now? Well every time I mention a hip-hop/R&B CD here Carl Craig ends up charting it or playing it, so... ;) I think that 'chipmunk' thing came from RZA distorting samples, I like it, but there's none of that on West productions like You Don't Know My Name by A Keys (a Theo Parrish fave incidentally) or Encore by Jay-Z, etc. The album is superb. > i gotta debate you there. > i haven't heard the whole album but.. > kayne west is responsible for the whole chipmunk sample crazy- easily > the worst thing to EVER happen to pop music. > > now if anyone doesn't mind- i could easily start a thread regardi > hip=hip that i've recently discovered. stuff that probably has more in > common with carl craig than public enemy > > anyone? > > > > On Tue, 9 Mar 2004, Cyclone Wehner wrote: > >> It's not techno/house but I am totally enamoured with the Kanye West >> album The College Dropout - esp Never Let Me Down and Jesus Walks. >> The production is excellent - he's developed the Blueprint template - >> and the lyrics insightful, astute and candid. >> >> > as far as techno, i'm pretty into the new Damon Wild doublepack on >> > Kanzleramt. especially "mr mean" and "halflife." the combo of >> > "tough" stompy drums and totally wussed out synths is, in general, >> > pretty unbeatable, imo. >> > >> > as far as rock music, i'd always have to go with Lungfish and the >> > Lungfish side-project The Pupils on Dischord. if you want to give >> > them a shot, i think i'd recommend starting with Lungfish's "Sound >> > in Time," completely amazing start to finish. >> > >> > not that i necessarily think you've never heard these records, but >> > those are the things i'm into right now. >> > >> > also, i'd agree with Chad about Stars of the Lid. droning, largely >> > guitar based, i think, ambient. and the show they played in urbana >> > last year was one of the best i've seen. which i think is saying a >> > lot, considering i'm an impatient guy and it was an ambient show. >> > >> > eric >> > >> > On Tue, 9 Mar 2004, synthetic tom wrote: >> > >> >> sorry to re-post this question, but i'm craving some new music >> >> that i've never heard of before, and there's no better place to >> >> ask than here. >> >> >> >> as for me, i've recently discovered DeepChord and Docile >> >> Recordings and i'm loving them both. buy on sight as far as i'm >> >> concerned. >> >> >> >> playing right now: Drexciya "Digital Tsunami" >> >> >> >> later y'alls >> >> >> >> t >> >> >> > >>
