This song reminds me of the summer of 2002, when I was living in the Bronx with my fiance. I played this album all the time in the car, wherever we went.
I can only surmise you don't know Half Japanese's music since their earliest stuff is almost totally devoid of chord structures, time signatures, song structures. Enjoyable music doesn't have to always be innovative, although that can be an exciting attribute. I like DJ John Peel's quote, "I just want to hear something I haven't heard before."
From the statement "I like music that makes me smile for whatever reason; really, it's a mystery." We can agree that the appreciation of music is subjective, and on that basis, disqualify the notion that any music is objectively more effective at making anyone person feel an emotional of intellectual reaction. Even John Peel's preference for novelty to familiarity (though respectable) is logically unquantifiable, as one's experience of music is unknowable to another person.
Even a preference for innovative music is based on purely subjective emotional reactions as "exciting." It doesn't make sense to me to then, to argue that any type of music is objectively "Bad" or "Dull" while other music is "Good" and "Exciting." (all intangible qualities.)
I do admit that my experience of Half Japanese does not encompassing their entire canon, however, I am familiar, and would, if you care to PM me, be willing to accept recommendations.
@The Teliko - His music would not rock my parties, me and my friends would prefer other things and would turn FSB off in a heartbeat, because we share the same music ideologies. Popular beats, they can be great or not. I like music that makes me smile for whatever reason; really, it's a mystery. Overused sampled beats have grown tiresome to me, that's all. To me Pierre Henry's original is more exciting w/o the dance beat grafted to it, that's all. Party on TT!
Ha ha, probably so. I am no expert on FSB's music, but I have heard enough to not like the frequent overlaying of popular sounding dance beats. those beats have been used by djs for so many years, where is there any innovation? for my info, who might the real enemies be?
He overlays popular dance beats because he makes popular dance music.
He does not exist to innovate on the razors edge, he exists to rock a party.
And for the record, Nirvana and Half Japanese were not particularly innovative either. Same chord structures, time signatures, song structures and banal timbres that have been used in rock music for decades. There are no real enemies, just a bunch of people making music that they like, and listening to music they like.
I would go straight to the Pierre Henry original version. It was really innovative and a lot more fun than this Fatboy/Norman Cook thing, yucchh! I don't needy a trendy loop overdubbed to get it, and this treatment negates the originality of the 1967 creation. The worst of house (or whatever you call this cookie-cutter dance beat garbage) The Autosurf version is stupid and fun because the video games sound are right at home.
@Chickidydow : have fun take drugs, but please don't think Fatboy Slim did anything but botch and trendify this amazing record that is from before you were born (I bet I'm right..?).
@mawane2 That's because Christopher Tyng based the Futurama theme song off the structure of the original version by Pierre Henry. Fatboy Slim's remix was independent of that, but since they both come from the same source, they sound like iterations of one another. :)
it is the futurama theme lol
