I just don't have the time for 2 LPs of hellish soundscapes these days. I wish I would have grabbed the special edition LP with the cassette of extra material when it was first released but I slept on it and now they're like $75. Hell yes same here. I remember that special edition coming out and I didn't realize there was such a demand for it. Really wish I'd leapt on that when I had the chance. I really just want more of what we got.

Especially since afterwards Cut Hands played for loving ever and it was the woooooorrrrrrsssssst

Just to put in my bitchy .02 I thought Pharmakon was decent but absolutely generic power electronics. Cut Hands was goofy and boring but that's still William Bennett from Whitehouse, one of the creators of the genre. I'd take his nipple-tweaking racist techno over her derivative routine anyday. I haven't heard any Pharmakon recordings though, and will happily give it a listen sometime. I'm just going by the show. e- Uncle Boogeyman posted:In an ideal world no live set would be longer than 15 minutes. I mostly agree. Leave em wanting more.

BigFactory posted:A McDonald's hamburger is a great example of the fast food industry - it's safe (in the sense of it's not challenging. Actual safety is debatable), it's predictable, and it's the same every time with slight variation. It does its job very very well, and there's something admirable about that in the context of the industry. What's it like being this far up your own rear end?

Well and "he always makes safe choices" and using a tired metaphor about McDonalds is pretty hollow criticism. It doesn't really say anything about why he doesn't like the scores other than "They're not that good!".

Talking about records in the same thread, each day with same people can have such drastically differing results. That's, that's chaos theory.

If you can find the one with the rat and the haunted castle on it, pick it up. It's the closest thing I've found to media representing what a bad trip feels like. Edit: this one -

Being a chronically unfunny person myself, I don't know if you're making a joke or what but John Williams is incredibly prolific and I seriously doubt anyone would struggle to name more than two of his works. Anyone remotely interested in film has probably heard at least a dozen of these.

I'd argue that there's far more to composing a film score than coming up with an easily identifiable theme but Jaws? Superman? Indiana Jones? Those don't spring to mind as iconic themes? What other composer has more iconic and easily identifiable themes than John Williams?

I guess that just proves the point. (I mean, I like some of his stuff, but no, he really does hit some of the same beats repeatedly, and not in a cool Ramonesy kind of way.)

That doesn't mean that they're Strictly Bad Music, but you shouldn't be aghast if someone doesn't give a gently caress about Score to Superhero Film CXVII. quote:What other composer has more iconic and easily identifiable themes than John Williams?
