@TimeForBold That's something I struggle with too with a lot of music. Some of the most beautifully produced and composed music is plagued with a lack of creative lyricism. For instance, recently I've loved the hell out of Zero 7's "Somersault" (the chorus is fantastic!) but after viewing its lyrics I can't help but feel slightly embarrassed to listen to it.
@connoraveale I totally agree, especially with the example, many of the vocalists Zero 7 have employed do really embarrassing second rate work, their production on the other hand is really well done and when the couple it with a simple hook like on "ghost sYmbol" it really brings out their best...
@TimeForBold I'm glad someone understands my complaints! This is the first time I've talked to anyone who understands music as I do (not trying to be pretentious, just saying everybody listens differently). How do you feel about Yeah Ghost? I want to try it out but it seems radically different from Simple Things and When it Falls (my only two Z7 albums).
@connoraveale I get what you mean man, with Zero 7 I'm the opposite with what I've listened to, Yeah Ghost being the only one I've listened to and huge depth...
Like I said ghost sYmbol I like, "pop art blue" has some pretty corny folk vocals but I still kinda like it but tracks like "medicine man" are whilst not outright unenjoyable, are kinda brought down by corny cliche lyrical work...
@TimeForBold I'll keep your considerations in mind as I listen to Yeah Ghost for the first time. Thank you, TimeForBold! I appreciate your conversation.
I've been following Tim's work since Pro Agonist and this song really captures his growth . and in response... "We don''t know who we are but we will always be here for you...we'll swim in the sea of change, rearrange."
@cyberslick18 ahahaha nice answer. I love people commenting other users on the Internet but avoids direct answers. You do well not to explain anything, because I'm sure you didn't understand anything of this song
@JuIsTheLaw Port Blue, Milosh, Prefuse 73, Pretty Lights, Telefon Tel Aviv, Tycho, Pogo, and if you're curious, I do a bit like this. I have no pro equipment, so my stuff can't even compare, but you can check my stuff out too at soundcloud[dot]com/r3n3gad3/butterflies
Lastly, Porcupine Tree isn't really electronic, but they have a lot of key and time signature shifting songs.
Damned, I've heard lots of things through my 30+ years, but this one must be right up there on the baffling scale. Jeeze. I do like the first 3 minutes quite a lot more than the last two though. Will probably buy the album today.
This is a deep tune. He says what he's doing musically in the song while still being artistic and accessible. He could have easily just made this completely cerebral. This song IS evolution.
IF this track was premeditated by Tim, then you can completely hear is influence from his Philosophical Degree background. There are hints of nonduality, the now, form within formlessness. If this was premeditated ...I will say this track is absolutely pure genius!!!! If not ....then its just a bunch of happy accidents???
What a F%#!ING brilliant production!!!!! Genuis in a madman sense!!!!
amazing graphics work in the video! I adore how he managed these tempo changes in the beat, sometimes it sounds like pure genius, sometimes like he's completely freaked out
Fish look really nice but it doesn't fit the song at all,its just too sedate. Also they should have done some motion tracking to make the fish feel part of the footage better because the camera shake ruins it.
yeah, this is great! good tunes! pls, also check out our video, just type, jam experiment video file 3. we are still amateurs, so dont be harsh.. pls leave a comment, thanks!
If youtubes comment layout wasn't so slack, you will see that I am simply correcting the title of the song that a person has listed below. That comment was irrelevant to the song.
Video doesn't do this track justice, but I really wouldn't know what would. This track is absolutely fantastic. The album... amazing. Original, beautiful, really well-balanced... and all this just a facet of Exile. His live work being equally brilliant, but so different.
i am so exited to see this artist on Chile soon!!! he is the future and i'm someone that is looking for to reach those goals on music. TOTALLY FREEDOM about electronic style.
After seeing this video, I had to buy "Listening Tree" album, which I spent an entire weekend listening .. tens of times. Every time I hear the album, it sounds totally different. I just can't wrap my head around it.
Can anyone guide me to his set at Bloc Weekender '08 (I think)
He was sporting a strap-on controller, wearing pants on the outside and spent a good amount of time destroying some bloke he invited to try and use his crazy machines.
He also said played a track in which he exclaimed "Acid Titties" frequently throughout.
It is possibly the best thing I have ever seen, next to Jade Goody's televised funeral.
its a lovely song indeed but personally.. I like his hectic style on older albums better. I'm sure he will make more money with stuff like this and he deserves it :)
There is just something about this that makes me feel so extremely happy. It took me maybe 2 times after first listened to it, but now i feel like this is a masterpiece.
Production is brilliant, the composition especially the tempo shift is also great.
His singing tone is good but his lyrics, ugggghh.
"We only have one rule, don't stay the same our you'll be a fool"
I really wish he abstracted his words more, none the less a great track...
