King of Snake Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 I'll try and download at least one of them at the weekend, but I'm one of the people who doesn't like the Beatles (some good songs, a lot of good pop songs but not really great music, just my opinion tho), so don't be surprised if I don't like em, I'll give them a fair go tho.

MyLeakyBucket Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Just heard the new Prodigy song, its actually really good. Album will be wicked if the single is at all representative, wahay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Snake Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Anywhere to hear Prodigy online or is it only being played on that old fangled 'radio' thingy? As for ATDI :afro: , Relationship of Command is a great album, but so is In/Casino/Out (full album), and I've DLed most of the 7-track mini album Vaya, great songs there too. Gonna DL the rest of Vaya and try and download the 7 tracks of El Gran Orgo. And I'll be buying the only other full album I don't have(Acrobatic Tenement, as above) this week. Honestly I have to say I regard them as one of the most consistent bands ever in my opinion, haven't heard a song by them I haven't liked. When I burn you a CD will I put on what I have by them? :approve: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 That'd be cool. I heard the Prodigy song on Radio 1. Speciafically Steve Lamacq but I think the other dj's are playing it as well. Keep your ears peeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 My comparison of Rush to Beatles was in the difficulty of picking just one song to recommend to someone. Anyway. I was thinking about this the other day. I've always heard people say (in Rush circles anyway) that Rush's song, 'In the Mood', was a Lynyrd Skynyrd rip-off (the song 'What's Your Name' in particular). I never disagreed with this because, frankly, they sound almost exactly the same. I did some research based on a whim and 'What's Your Name' was released in late 1977 on 'Street Survivors' and 'In The Mood' was released in early 1974 on the self-titled 'Rush' (that part I already knew), before Lynyrd Skynyrd first album even debuted. Plus, Rush is from Canada and Lynyrd Skynyrd is from Alamaba, making it highly unlikely that Rush could have even copied the 'Skynyrd' sound. If you don't believe me on the songs sounding the same, download them both (or just 'In the Mood' if you already have 'What's Your Name'). After listening to them both, and knowing there was over 3 years between their respective releases, see for yourself if you think Skynyrd copied from Rush. I'd particularly like to hear from IC on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA JUDGE Posted May 19, 2002 Author Share Posted May 19, 2002 Oddly, the most recent albums I've bought are old albums, there's not many good albums out at the moment. I'm not a great fan of Moby's music, he has some good songs but I think he's been overhyped. I'd like to get BDB but the fact it's a soundtrack album has me dubious. Firstly i know what your saying KOS, when i was in town the other day i picked up (among new releases) Stranglers, Buzzcocks & Jeff Beck LP's! I also agree a little bit with what your saying about Moby. Fortunately, i managed to see him in a really small venue in Edinburgh and had the Play album a small while before it all kicked off! The new album was obviously never gonna live up to 'Play', but it's not too bad. In saying that BDB's new LP blows it out the water! Just 'cause it's a soundtrack shouldn't put you off ( think Monsieur David Holmes, Air, Walter Carlos for example! ). Honestly mate, if you liked The 'Bewilderbeast' album, you will not be dissapointed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA JUDGE Posted May 19, 2002 Author Share Posted May 19, 2002 Oh and another thing! The new Mojo mag has a free CD compilation of original movie scores that is worth getting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Snake Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 Well if it's kinda like Hour of Bewilderbeast, I'll probably pick up BDB's if I get the rare cosmic alignment of being at a record store and having money at the same time! I'll look out for Mojo, what're the best tracks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA JUDGE Posted May 19, 2002 Author Share Posted May 19, 2002 There is 20 tracks on the disc, a small example... The Kinks - 'God's Children'... DJ Shadow - 'Dark Days'... Peter Cook & Dudley Moore -'Bedazzled'... Ennio Morricone -'A Fistful Of Dollars'... Not bad for £3.30! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Snake Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 DJ Shadow, cool! If I think of it I'll buy Mojo tomorrow Judge! I think Shadow has a new album either now or the next coupla weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Snake Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Oh yeah JMT, didn't get DLing any Rush at the weekend but I was in a record shop and I saw they had Rush - 'Vapor Trails' so I bought it... I've given it a good listen today and I have to say I'm not keen on their music. I am being over critical I know, but I thought the songs didn't go anywhere and were overlong at 5-6 mins each. The lyrics were fairly wanky too. Don't know why so many people have issues with Geddy Lee's voice though, the vocals sounded grand. Told you I'd probably not like it, I'm gonna get a refund tomorrow. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Vapor Trails isn't there best album by far. I'm just so glad to see them back in the studio making music after 6 years (far and away their longest hiatus). As a Rush fanatic, I like the album, but it's no comparision to some of their better stuff (1976's 2112, 1978's Hemishperes, 1981's Moving Pictures, 1989's Presto, 1993's Counterparts to name a few). Of the new album I really like One Little Victory, How It Is, Nocturne, Freeze (Part IV of 'Fear'), Sweet Miracle and Ghost Rider. I like them all really, but nothing I'm as enthusiastic about yet, but I'm hearing something new everytime I listen to them. Can't say I agree even slightly about your comment on the lyrics, but I'll leave it alone. I was nice to hear a non Rush-enthusiast say somethign nice about Geddy's vocals though. Bitch bitch bitch is all I ever hear about his voice! Anyway, I'd be disappointed if you didn't look into their older catalouge, but I appriciate you putting in the effort you did.

DA JUDGE Posted May 21, 2002 Author Share Posted May 21, 2002 New DJ Shadow LP out on June 3rd KOS, just got the new single which was released yesterday, If the 12" i got is anything like the new album it's gonna be kinda different from 'Endtroducing', but not in a bad way! Also does anyone else here have Cut Chemist & DJ Shadows 'Brainfreeze'? It's a mix of 7 inches they put together and came out about a year or two ago now. Be aware though, it is usually expensive, even on CD, but well worth having nevertheless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 I know you've all be DYING to know, so for your information: Rush's Vapor Trails debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200. Pretty good since tons of people have never heard of them, and of those who have, 99% of the time they are unaware that they are still together and recording music. I hope they move up the chart, but only time will tell that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of Snake Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 Eminem's album's very good SoF, I was gonna try and do a review, but work being as it is I've hardly even gotten the time to post shitty little posts like this one, let alone do a full review. :approve: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Eminem huh? Is Dr Dre still producing and writing the music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Snake Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 I'm fairly sure that Eminem produced the Marshall Mathers LP but Dre produced this one (and presumably wrote the music). It's worth a go, especially to hear 'Hailie's Song' where Eminem sings! Or you could just DL that, but most the rest of the album is mustard.

Reverend Jax Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Two questions: 1) By 'sings', do you mean instead of rapping? And 2) Is 'mustard' old world slang for good or bad? Is it like the word 'shit' over here where if something is shit, that means bad (and by 'bad' I mean bad), but if something is THE shit, that means it bad (and by 'bad' I mean good)? Basically, by saying the rest of the album is mustard, do you mean it's good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyLeakyBucket Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 You've DL Eminem's album despite the threats he has made to deliver revenge on all the asses of those who don't wait for it to be released? Takes a braver man than I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Snake Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Nope bought it, just recommending a good track. :approve: Download songs myself? I would never do such a thing! JMT: 1) I mean he does SING! 2) As SoF says, mustard = good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
