    cursing

    In a modern context. I always understood that in the Western European (British inparticular) context it goes back to French being the Official language of Norman Britain & mono-syllabic Anglo-Saxon words being pushed out of use. So piss is replaced by urinate, fuck becomes intercourse etc.etc...

    cursing

    Sorry, should have stuck :D in. I'm assuming that translation of vulgar is correct, especially as the German is sorta half-way between (sort-of) Not being vulgar is ssssooooo 19thC & Swearing for the sake of it is ssssoooo 20thC :rolleyes: :p :D

    cursing

    I'm a devoted swearer. They are magic, ancient words & I refuse to modify my speech patterns according to the whim of someone else. That said I have a pretty good internal censor & only ever swear in the correct context ie. not around my nan / job interviews etc.etc. I feel this is due to...

    Logic 8 is out

    I kind of liked Logic 7, but I sold it in the end. Couldn't really do it justice on my 1gHz PB. The only way I'm gonna give L8 a whirl is with Hackintosh, or, round someones elses. I don't really ever see myself buying another computer.. dont wanna end up like this guy;

    Acid tekno

    Intro is ace!!! Not suttin I would play, vocal is WAY to loud (& not pitch shifted!) but when the reverbed kicks drop in = very cool! I like the alternate take on acid sounds in that one & the 'Erotic Discource' as well, the latter using AM/FM rather than filter sweeps is sick! I've managed to...

    Music that is psychedelic

    I agree with the you that the 'loudness wars' cobblers is just another guise of 'everything was better in my day sonny' (unless I'm wrong & thats not what you mean?) but, the bolded bit is totally wrong, from a technical standpoint anyway. Compression is distortion, the idea is to make things...

    Dubstep

    not really the point tho isit? its cool if people can chart their personnel taste thru those kinds of trajectories, but once you've got kids on DSF demanding that Hatcha aknowledge Scorn as an antecendant of Dubstep something has been lost in translation. mms is 100% right about 'retroactive...

    Funky/London/UK House

    I only have digital versions - wavs still, so I can't comment on the vinyl, but all of his stuff has that 'everything turned up to 10' sound & the waveforms look crazy, 'Gone To A Better Place' is just a thick black line - tho that tune is 'a little bit european' It works well on the Bakongo...

    Dubstep

    Funky/London/UK House

    :D I confused myself, yeah I meant to post 'Baba' thats the one I been playing alot cos it has 3 of the best things ever in, vocal noises, rattley drums & piano, but, the slow one 'Arctor' is alot as well - for all those times when 118bpm just aint slow enough! it has enough low end to survive...

    Juke

    I'm gonna go with track, just cos it lasts so long & is kinda all in time & coherant - totally a product of fruity splicer tho! I think that is a big part of alot of the chopped up & looped parts, the ablity to easily load a full song & have it being chopped up, but without sample accurate...

    Juke

    DJ Clent & DJ Rashad are ill! Its wierd, the youngers don't seem to care that people outside of the circle may be interested in their music, I think Bok Bok was tellin me he contaced DJ Nate on myspace & got no response. Some of these tunes are proper OTT emotional as well; <object...
