I should say so as not to mislead you that it's probably more along the lines of the Tonka remix, and quite simple and repetitive. Haven't got the record to hand so that's what I'm remembering. It's not that great, but worth a go for 79p I should think.

Fucking loved the 'making of' video. Like taking a magnifying glass to a turd only to discover a lost race of microscopic Peep-Show-bit-part players living on its moon-landscape surface, each with a name containing more hyphens than this sentence.

what do people think of the magnetic man album, anyone who's heard any of it?
i'm still waiting to find out on what basis they got on the cover of the nme? why those three, in particular, for the big mainstream 'face of dubstep' crossover ting?

Also they're a 'band'. The NME loves 'bands'

cos theyre a 'band'.
they do 'live shows' rather than sets.
and cos they wear leather and shades.
and drink and take drugs.
also perhaps cos its a mixed race group, i mean band.
sort of like a dubstep n dubz.
really though, who else could be the face of dubstep? skream and benga are both pioneers AND two of the most globally popular djs in dubstep. only natural really that theyd be good nominations as the mainstream face of dubstep.
caspa? lulz

I like the Magnetic Man 'I Need Air' song, in theory. I like the fact that it does what it's singing about - it's a congruent song, it achieves intentionality. For me dubstep was all about the space it created, and I think it does that successfully as a song and a manifesto for the dancefloor, to give room.
And I like it cos it proves my point that beneath every experimental producer there's a actually a person that wishes they'd written 'No Scrubs'.

According to Capital Radio, who are giving Magnetic Man plenty of airplay, he's actually an individual human man and by necessity wears a silver foil suit.

if only it was as catchy as no scrubs.
its a dubstep version of a pop song really.
respectable, nice, dreamy, nothing sexual about it, chilled out, 'good vibes' etc.
just a bit muzaky.
forgot about caspa - surprised hes not been more nme-endorsed really, theres a lot there that would make him appeal to the indie crowd, but hes not got a 'band' as such (him and rusko should have done this), which makes MM more of a big deal, cos theyve made that jump to becoming a prodigy type thing for dubstep.

Yeah, it would be only fair to say that I think I Need Air is a bit naff. Katy On A Mission is quite a bit better I reckon.
dont like on a mission much either really.
esp after seeing benga singing along and looking all matey (almost e'd up?) and dancing around in the video.
what is it with dubstep guys always trying to appear all matey and friendly all the time? (this might just be a leftover reaction from seeing producers post on dsf)

rusko already has the appalling haircut which could make this work

I like it 'cos the vocal seems to fit the tune very well. It's not the greatest thing since sliced bread, obviously.
But yeah, none of the videos for the tunes we're discussing are particularly good as videos, though On A Mission does have the bonus of Katy B looking gorgeous in it. The crowd in the I Need Air video has to be one of the most student-tastic I've seen, lolz I'm so cynical these days.
Edit: this was in response to gumdrops not to droid, obviously...

They should do away with all this and just let the squid from the 'night' be the official face of dubstep or whatever..
Edit: He's not in band though I suppose.
