Choon of the Day

[Corpsey]

1994 was a great year.

The mythos of Kung Fu, the mythos of jazz, the mythos of mafiosi

Passing through as sampled spirits

 

[Corpsey]

Music linking with music history without a sense of inauthenticity, then passing through computers to become less joined to the world to become less real or hyperreal.

Even sampling sounds too computerised now.

 

[version]

Memory Lane's my favourite Premo beat. Thank God Nas stopped him binning it.

 

[luka]

Not even my favourite premier beat on that album. Weird choice.

not even. computerised is subconscious code for 'I don't like how this sounds.' Which is fine but using the term computerised is inaccurate because most sampling done with computers is still designed to be congruent with human perception. a truly computerised sampling would have to exceed the limits of human perception so 5-10 samples per second. will take you 5 months to make a 5 minute tune. a computerised sample tune will have to sound like a computer processing data.

to argue that futurist music is not happening today and then berate music for sounding too computerised is mutually exclusive imo.

I only own about five hiphop records and one of them is "come clean", love that empty oil drum beat. close your eyes and the backing track could be some weird PIL outtake circa "flowers of romance".

I wonder whether quantum computing is the new musical instrument we've been waiting for.

Doesn't have one bad song on it.

The first song isn't bad but it's definitely one of the weaker ones.

[craner]

A song about mortality, and the relationship between memory and death.

 

[Corpsey]

One of the worst rappers ever

Absolute classic

That's NERD

 

[Leo]

A song about mortality, and the relationship between memory and death.

and prostate cancer.

The one band that can make dissensus a consensus. Godly.

 

[Arthur Brick]

The genius here is the scratch of that high tone, sounding like a mournful alien signal over those strings

Always loved the scratching right at the end of this
