all you shut up and listen to Avey Tare's Spirit They've Gone and tell me he hasn't given in to popular tastes cuz he wized up and realized that good experimental legacy music doesn't pay the bills. We have popular tastes and we lick and like and lick so much we dissolve what we eat before we ever digest it.
@sh2master dude, that's my favorite album of all time, but I have to disagree with you. he couldn't just keep doing STGSTV for the rest of his career, nor did he want to, it's good for him to branch out and do new things. if you truly think this you clearly have not listened to ODDSAC yet, shit is insanely trippy and experimental. it's really great, check it out if you get a chance.
The idea of releasing music that is reversed/sped up is quite overdone and does not hold any artistic value in modern times. With all of the ways musicians, especially such diverse/experimental musicians such as Avey Tare, have of manipulating their music for the sake of imparting some greater feel or artistic quality to it, simply reversing and speeding up the music seems like a cop-out. "Wow, it sounds so trippy and eery."- Why use such a beautiful piece to accomplish such a trivial guise?
@chafed Well when they reversed it they went from tangible music to music that was probably meant to evoke mood sort of like Debussy or Ravel. I don't think what they're doing is pretentious but then again I really enjoy the album.
I make music (check out Ghost Toy Castle!), it does sound like a whole new song to hear your stuff backwards. I think they were probably a little swept up in how new that made things feel, especially since it's easy to get sick of a melody you've gone over in your head a million times.
Cause yeah, this song's just amazing. Far from pretentious, I think it's kind of incredible that they willingly chose to make the album so unconventional, despite how it might be received.
Lol to the people complaining about the entire album being reversed shut up, they are trying to engage the audience. Dumb fucks go argue about being pretentious and "not artistic" on a lil b video.
Love this. If anybody doesn't mind, and I am genuinely sorry to be a pain, but I would love to get the thoughts of people out there on some tracks I made called on my channel.
The quality is rubbish, but would be so grateful if people don't mind giving it a try. Thanks so much, best wishes to everyone
I never really understood what the problem was when I heard the album. The songs may sound nice reversed, but when they played the songs backwards, I just imagine scenes and scenarios from carnivals to creepy children's music to flashbacks to music that could soundtrack a dark setup in a horror movie. It adds an element of fun and imagination to the listening experience, like both Animal Collective and Mum songs tend to do.
they didn't do it to make you do extra work. they intended to release it backwards because they liked the way it sounded backwards. it wasn't to be different, hip, or pretentious. You're being an ignorant ass in saying such things. Also, it's not THAT hard to fucking take a song and reverse it and possibly slow it down a bit. Get audacity and quit bitchin
also, im going to die to this song. i will make sure it is played at the time of my death. because if heaven is real, it will surely lead me to it. i mean FUCK. or maybe, i might just fill my room with this song, have it constantly playing. and just meditate. meditate. meditate until something happens. and when something happens, im just going to listen to this song. let my soul free. damn, I need to listen to this song high.
honestly, if every beautiful song came together and fucked and made a beautiful song baby, this would be that beautiful song baby. nothing beats this. leaves me speachless everytime.
this is one the most beautiful sounds i have heard in my life, my first day hearing it and this is my 10th time replaying it. i want to take every bit of it in, from the intricate guitar strums to interpreting the inspiring lyrics.
Btw, you can get the reversed and slowed down versions (only tracks 3,6, and 7 need to also be slowed down) of the songs through torrents or direct downloads online. Avey Tare even said in an interview he wouldn't care if people did that. And, I'm sure Paw Tracks doesn't really give a shit either.
You know. I was one of the few people who heard Pullhair Rubeye without hearing that it was played in reverse and it was a huge controversy. I actually liked it a lot. I could never really get into Here Comes the Indian which has that same "backwards" feel, but I felt it worked with Pullhair Rubeye, maybe because the melodies are a lot simpler.
But, hearing this. good god. This is one of the most beautiful things I have heard from an AC member. And, I consider myself a huge fan of AC.
@jeckeljoan Panda Bear has a really great voice and it's crazy hypnotic, but he really only has one style. Avey can do a shit load more with his voice. So I don't blame you.
My guitar is constantly untuned, but I just got the right and easy sequence (capo 3rd fret): Dm (G string -> 7th fret), C ( G string, 5th fret), Gm (D string, 5th fret), F (D string, 3rd fret). It' s a very simple structure. - Nevertheless, a terrific song,
@kutranewget I think their instruments are not tuned "normally"...you'd have to match one of the acoustic guitar notes, and then tune the rest of the strings to that. and then...figure out the song.
@UsefulChamber You should look for the reverse version of the album, thats playing the songs normally.. I wont tell you there is also a extended version of the album, guess what that does. They can all be found on torrent site's.
@UsefulChamber You should look for the reverse version of the album, thats playing the songs normally.. I wont tell you there is also a extended version of the album, guess what that does. They can all be found on torrent site's.
@talltimberale I just heard this song on the radio today and downloaded it. To get it to sound right I used an audio editing program to first reverse it, then I changed the speed to 50%.
@dylan11dc Yep, at 7:30am on a Monday on WFMU out of Jersey City, NJ. Listener sponsored. They stream the station live on their site...I recommend it. They play all sorts of crazy stuff with no commercials!
@kentman86 Maybe. Also, if you listen to the reversed version of Was Onaip (by which I mean the 'forwards-version' of the song), I'm pretty sure parts of that song were recycled as well, and went on to become Street Flash off the Water Curses EP. But, I could be wrong.
@Spaxx1001 ahhh spax1001, we meet again. for someone who hates animal collective and everything associated with it, you sure do make it a full time job to find out about them. even their band members side projects? its fishy...just a little bit...
@Spaxx1001 i dont know dude. its not really following. i tried to find out more about my favorite band, thats how i found this. you, infested with hate, tried to find out more about a band you despise...thats just confusing to me,thats all.i vomit when i hear green day,but you dont see me finding the side projects of whoever the lead singer is.i just leave them and their fans alone.its common sense.next your prob going to visit mali just cause deakin went there.your a sad man. a sad sad man. :(
@Spaxx1001 its hard to say this to you but...i...i just think we should see other people. you know, like a break. we're just going too fast. sorry, its not you...
this kinda makes me wonder if these people ever do anything mundane. like if avey or kria are at a drive thru ordering a milk shake does the person at the window feel a cathartic response? just asking...
This is a breakthrough! Now we can eliminate the need for suicide hot line operators, instead replacing them with recordings of this song! Thank you Mr. Tare!
@6706993152 i disagree, this song makes things seem so surreal that it makes me want to die even more. It highlights everything I want but will never have.
I know, and I've also got their reverse album. But still "Seasong" is sung with a chipmunk voice - this one is a stretched version so you hear the real voice.
all of the songs on the album are reversed, but sasong, palneka, and foetus no man are all sped up x2, so you have to slow those down for the real version.
This is the reversed version (the normal). It's kinda' difficult to explain. The version that was released on CD and LP (the one you bought) is all just songs playing backwards, but the version that was released on the Internet was just including the normal songs (but they are called the reversed versions, instead of the one that really are reversed) But you know how Avey Tare is, he likes it to be psychedelic and a little weird.
