Hey P, did YELLOW ever thank you for that sticker pack you sent him?
I really wanted it.

P I totally know what you are saying.

I don't know why anyone would chose 'yellow'. Feels like a strange choice. But I would have to say the true yellow would be the Yello the band. WHICH you misspelled by the way. :)

Agreed. Hope you don't mind me coming back on this one? Think it was the hipster thing that 'got' to me

Not at all. Isn't that the point of a forum. And instead of being defensive and telling me to go away, you present good points of view.

But as the not being able to skip tracks point, I ...

Last quick question...
I seem to recall a lot of people shitting on the old tunes tapes. Wanting better quality versions, saying the recording was shitty. Isn't it exactly the way you want it?

YELLOW, I think its not the quality of the sound so much as the setting and mood you are in when ...

Just a question and i do not mean this as a snide comment - but do the people hankering for copies of things on cassette actually remember how annoying tapes were back in the 80's??!

Like, the reel coming out and having to wind it up with a pencil, or having hiss no matter how great your Dolby ...

So what?

It brings back memories.

Go away.

Jesus, ha ha ha ha.
No wonder Kinski is off to WATMM. You're bringing back memories with contemporary music? Odd.
Memories of a few years ago? When the music that's triggering the memories of cassette days never came out on tape? [Headphase ...

You guys are funny.
You are not really getting the effect of the stuff actually getting recorded to tape.
It was mixed and mastered digitally, to fit onto that standard. And is recorded as hot as can be, as thats the new shitty standard.

See, I don't use patterns. I break a track down into loops or one shots and trigger it myself at the right time and manipulate whichever sample with on-board effects, or sometimes run the samplers through each other and process everything going on in one sampler with the next while using it to ...

Don't do any of those things. Don't even bring a laptop. Get a sampler and don't be scared. Hitting the space bar is a cop out.

Tell that to Ae, AFX, MBM etc.....Theres generally a lappy in there somewhere. You need a hub.
One person can only control so many instruments.
And if hitting play ...

setup all the gear you wish to present. put a cd of your set in the cd player, run it through some real time effects you can control, and hit play.
....and the most important part. fiddle with a lot of knobs, bounce around and look busy.

Listen to Trick of the Tail 20 times, then listen to Duke 20 times.
Though no Peter Gabriel on those releases, that is some awesome stuff.

The music paints a story. Not much does that anymore.

Peter Gabriel gave Genesis more of an edge, but it was a little too deep, theatrical [From Genesis ...

poor recording with someone talking all through it. What's the point?

Don't get me wrong, I'd have loved to have been there!

But he mostly nailed it which i was glad to hear, i knew i could hear some paradox when he was playing it and when he let rip the unreleased squarepusher track, i went completly mad, I was right up at the front for ...

Does anyone else feel that the Pylonesque EP is mastered WAY too loud? It's insanely piercing for this type of music.

Yes the recording on his first three is the worst.
Conflicting frequencies, the hi's are unbearable. Too much reverb. And pointless note progressions.
Extra awful production ...
