____twoism

You keep saying you're not coming back to this thread and yet you keep trying to get the last word, yourself.

I only said I wasn't coming back 'here' once. And I was referring to the Twoism forum completely, not just the thread! You didn't even understand that....I'm leaving this forum for good ...

I knew that guy would have to have the last word, so be it.
I'll explain why I don't like Moby:

1. The music he makes is predictable, it's all in 4/4 timing, it doesn't move me at all.
2. I don't enjoy the commercial bombardment one receives via the media of artists such as himself
on the release ...

You came here specifically to bitch about an album you've said you have no plans to listen to. Okey doke.

Some of us like to actually discuss music here, rather than seeking to string together arbitrary insults about things we don't like in lieu of actually conveying any information.


You should ...

There is literally no reason to be this bitter about a guy who writes pretty music with piano and strings. (Well.. not always :twisted: ) Calm the hell down.

I'm bitter about the music industry per se, not Moby specifically. Also, I don't need to 'calm down', I'm just expressing my opinion.

But I ...

Just listening to Fad Gadget.
My favourite synthpop is (in no particular order):

New Order
He Said
Depeche Mode
Wolfsheim
Heaven 17
Human League
The Presets ('Girl By The Sea' especially)
Gary Numan
John Foxx
Assemblage 23 (mainly the track 'Horizons' which is sublime)
Devo
Yello
Kraftwerk
Komputer ...

Yes, I could listen to the stream directly from his website, I'm sure. I could also rub my naked eye with a bhut jolokia chilli pepper - I don't think I will though.

Just two words sum the man and his work up for me:

Moby Dick

(I realise that is a book about a whale, but there is no point blubbering about it)

Sorry about the pun by the way, but I remain unswerving regarding my stance on Moby.
Also to the list of 'bewilderingly successful musical non-entities ...

That'll be the year when the album is actually released, probably! Only 244 years to go now...

That square wave vibrato oscillation which comes in towards the end is definitely a Casio CZ5000 series! I love those synths and wish I still had mine, it had some wonderful quirks.
Nice track too, thanks for posting it.

That's impossible, the song he posted is from 1980, the CZ5000 was first ...

"We usually imagine our music to have a visual element while we're writing it, so we were picturing this character losing his mind at the campfire and compressing weeks of events into a few hours, in that time-stretching way that acid fucks with your perception,”

Oh, and if I were to ask BOC a question, it would be
"Fancy a pint?"

Mumford & Sons - sounds like a dodgy removal firm. Also, I think their music is bland. They should rename themselves the Dukes Of Tedium if you ask me. Lol didn't Chris Moyles say that! :lol:

If Bibio never recorded another of his tedious "Camberwick Green meets Beck lo-fi on an off day" it wouldn't affect my life negatively at all. Warp Records have some excellent artists on the label like Broadcast, Plaid and Boards of Canada. Also, they are the home to many seminal classic electronica ...

It now seems it's 'deficit', still backed by idiots who realise the price of everything and the value of nothing
A very appropriate quote from Oscar Wilde there, because it truly is an age of cynicism in which we are living. I agree with your friend's points, the big irony of those 'anti-terror ...

Signed and shared the link with pretty much everyone, thanks Mexicola.

Is it me are this government - like MT's in the 80's - just deliberately being utter bastards?!

I'm always a little tentative when replying about politics. If you take any stance which aligns itself with any of the parties ...

Yes, my fault on the link; I missed of the H!
