Super not EDM but Kimbra on that lineup is genuinely a fantastic performer. If you don't fall in love with her during the show then you're likely dead, she goes all in every single time.

The markings on that don't even make sense. Maximum hydration in terms of amount in the bottle would be higher than that. Maximum hydration in terms of amount you've consumed would be at the bottom. Maximum hydration and diluted (with water) brain mean the same thing so why are they polar opposite on the bottle? I think Rezz should carry on drinking because she's already damaged her brain if she designed this.

I'm you, I listened to an awful lot of stuff in these genres 10+ years ago when blogs were just kicking off. You could click through all the blogs and collect dozens of tracks, roll through them at random and then pick out some gems and dispose of the others/leave them sat on a hard drive somewhere. It seems when the US decided dance music was called 'EDM' and everything needed a hard drop poo poo started to go South. I've clicked through a lot of stuff posted in here but nothing's grabbed me like the stuff of old, it's just not as interesting. There's some decent tunes but for the most part they're all derivative, like you say there's a million Flume clones and likewise many other 'famous' producers have dozens of copycats. The 'big room' fiasco a few years ago was particularly hilarious when everyone realised it was all the same poo poo recycled... https://soundcloud.com/daleri/epic-mashleg Olympic Mathlete fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Feb 27, 2018 |

...there's a large chunk of that which is pretty much a classic trance set from 18 years ago. Throwback as gently caress. It's cool that kids are getting some oldschool poo poo played to them though, the US seems to have missed that era of dance music for some reason.

Jippa posted:The prodigy are a national treasure. I still remember the interview they did with The Guardian I think where they stated that dance music was dead, nothing new was being done and that there was nothing good to listen to. They then released an album which sounded like B sides to their last album. Their early poo poo is genuinely great but the new stuff is samey as gently caress and they're not self aware enough to do anything different. Live they're incredible though but then they're mostly firing out classics at you...

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I still think Invaders Must Die is one of their best albums and The Day is My Enemy has a ton of jams on it. Fight me. Eh, I can take or leave Invaders. AONO wasn't great either. Day is just b sides from Invaders and poo poo ripped from older albums, I just felt like I'd heard it all before and due to that I was less enthralled. Those albums have some decent tracks but they're not back to front classics. The Day is my Enemy was the one released after they'd dissed everything else around at the time which was loving hilarious because the few years leading up to 2015 were loving STACKED full of superb dance music and you'd have to be some kind of oval office to pretend like there was nothing else good being produced at the time. I feel like you're younger than I am, I've seen and heard it all before... I mean I guess it's because those first three albums were groundbreaking at the time and then of course everything that follows was just an evolution. I guess I just get bored of hearing slight variations of the same thing repeatedly? Olympic Mathlete fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Jun 19, 2018 |

As much as I dislike their newer stuff, it was at least bombastic and in your face, this sounds like a lead-in for a bigger track almost. It's an intro I'm guessing, or a b-side of an earlier album again (this seems like a habit). Olympic Mathlete fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Jul 20, 2018 |

Man it's loving outstanding, they way they've woven multiple tracks together from different albums is superb and I found myself just singing along the whole time. The new WWW versions of tracks as well, excellent. I think I heard Love S.O.S. layered into tracks that don't actually have it named on the album too, it pops up in at least 3 tracks. Just so good. If anything I hope it makes people go back and realise that Woman and AVD are excellent albums in their own right and that not getting more of the same in a Cross 2 album isn't a bad thing at all.

Jedit posted:Let me guess without clicking on it - repeated driving synth guitar line, brief pause, someone shouts the title? Ha, you think they're lazy enough to have a formula these days? You're not 100% right but man that track could be off any of the last 3 albums, there's an awful lot of pilfering of old presets and sounds going on. If I were a cynic I'd say Howlett is raiding a pre-made folder of tunes and sending them to the label for release.

Well yeah, it's loving boring. If everything sounds similar what's the point in making anything new? I've defended them in the past but when they were interviewed by The Guardian and they panned the entire dance music industry saying "nobody's making anything new..." it's a bit rich to just release the stuff that sound similar to that which you've put out before. I hate hypocrisy.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I mean I'm all for innovation and developing sounds and such, but The Prodigy's one of those bands that has a sound I absolutely love and one that I don't mind them not changing much. My issue is they themselves say that nobody is innovating. ...only to go about and release stuff that sounds like B-sides or VIPs. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/jan/17/the-prodigy-the-day-is-my-enemy-oasis-blur quote:“Dance music at the moment is so loving dead,” spits Liam Howlett, still with his trademark Romford Thom Yorke mullet – and still with his trademark venom. “Producers are too safe, they rely on being retro. It’s loving bollocks. There’s no pushing forward any more.” It's the ego in this review that made me realise how up their own arseholes they'd disappeared. Liam's comment about nobody pushing forward just cements the fact he hasn't actually listened to any music in the past 10 years, there's LOADS of new and exciting things out there but he doesn't care because he's only listened to the most middle of the road stuff that gets played on the radio. Maxim's comment about the dance scene is even funnier because if anything, dance music has become insanely popular in recent years to the point where we're hiring out loving cruise liners to hold week long music festivals. Keith's comment rounds it out nicely, Liam mentions everyone's too safe, relying on being retro and then Keith says nobody sounds like them which suggests he knows they've not exactly strayed very far from their formula (is this not that very same 'being safe' Liam was on about?!). First 3 albums were great but after that I hit my limit and everything that followed has been the same old.

Jippa posted:They are cemented as legends no matter what any one thinks of their recent output. Liam has forgotten more about music than most producers know. First bit I agree with, I'm never going to suggest what they produced to begin with wasn't wildly ahead of the game for a long while. The second bit sounds a little too much like you're gargling his nuts though, he definitely knows a lot about production, it's just that he no longer puts in the effort.

HJB posted:Anyway, we all agree this is bad, right? These new tracks all sound like b-sides from 2/3 albums ago. *edit: I realise this discussion is boring but then so are these tracks. I've often wondered about 'fans' of stuff and what it would actually take for them to admit that maybe the thing they're a fan of isn't as good as it once was. There was a point in my life I bought everything Nine Inch Nails put out but by With Teeth I was out, that album was poo poo and stuff that followed was equally as bad. I feel like this isn't the norm when it comes to fandom, the default position is just accept being spoon-fed poo poo because you're already invested in the club.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Well in the case of Nine Inch Nails, for example, they're one of my favorite bands of all time and I've loved pretty much everything they've put out (if you quit right after With Teeth, you missed Year Zero which is one of their best albums by far), but while I could appreciate that they were getting more experimental on their latest album, I wasn't a fan of much of it. Usually if they put out a release, it goes on my favorite albums of the year list, but this one won't and that's okay. They've put out so much other material that I adore. My last NIN purchase wasn't With Teeth, you misunderstand. With Teeth was just the point where I realised maybe this is where the band's starting to lose it, it was OK but not a patch on earlier stuff. Last I bought was The Slip (3 albums later) which had a couple of nice tracks but everything else on there was a big fat meh and not really doing much that hadn't been done before. Ghosts was actually the best thing Trent had done since The Fragile but then surrounded it on both sides with similar sounding stuff as With Teeth again. I dunno, maybe I just get bored of artists more than most people or maybe people are just far more tolerant of having very samey things pushed at them.

Spinning through the album on youtube I've seen a few comments on different videos saying "this seems like it's a parody of <x> genre or track" which is an incredibly weird thing to say. Prodigy aren't known for parody tracks so suggesting they've produced something to mock other tracks or genres is odd to say the least.

This is the best Magnetic Man track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c-s5FtIXyw I feel like it was actively a mistake to put this on the start of the album because it makes the listener expect more than they actually get with that album which although is great, never peaks like this again. It's also the only track on the album that hasn't aged really poorly which is hilarious considering it's a classical track. Olympic Mathlete fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Jan 21, 2019 |

12+ years ago this dude started putting stuff out on myspace. It took 10 years to get an album and by that point he'd switched up his style, fans whined and whined so he's put out a 2nd album which should've been his first... There's a lot of unreleased stuff on there that I heard him play live on the 2 occasions I got to see him years ago.

The first album grew on me quite a lot, it 'clicked' with me when I was walking home from town on a nice warm night quite late at night with my nice headphones on. This is a treat, very, very late but is very much going to be appreciated by his older fans because a lot of this was only available via lovely mix rips at like 192kbps or less, my old hard drive has a few of them. The artwork is indeed similar to his old stuff, in old interviews he says he has a recurring dream about a dark pyramid in the jungle and the character he dresses up as... This is oooooold art he did himself:  Also I forgot I've seen him 3 times, twice in the UK at Bristol and Manchester and once in Paris at the opening of a new museum/arts place.

Also there's a bunch of other classic dance tracks been done like that and I guess they wanted to show off a bit? The Vladimir Cauchemar Aulos track is hilarious anyway so hearing it as a full orchestral piece even if short is amazing.
