Are super human drums marketable?

Quote:Man I just looked him up and I thinks hes really weak.Could you give me an example of something he done thats completely new.Because all I see is re-packaging. And also how can he claim to have invented the stutter?Thats like saying you invented the sound of a record slowing down or something surely.And also his music is bloody cheesy.drcolossus02-I'm not sure how BT's marketing himself on his site or how much of his music you've listened to, but I suggest hearing a larger body of his work before you pass judgement. I'd recommend "Movement In Still Life," one of his edgier releases, if some of his lighter stuff strikes you as cheesy.It is kind of funny to hear someone aspiring for success in such a niche field putting down one of the few heroes (if not THE hero) of the genre...but like you said, to each his own. However, boiling down BT's skillset to "repackaged stuttering" is like saying a brain surgeon is good at cutting (forgive the clinical analogy, pun intended)...there's a hell of a lot more going on is his music than you're noticing.By the way, are you able to post your music on a more accessible site to listen to? Signing up for a new service and downloading a file is 2 steps more than I (and many other busy boys & girls, not to mention A & R folks) am willing to take to hear a new artist.Andre

Quote:Nah fair enough. Im not saying his achievements are weak.Im saying as a listener my personal opinion is that his music is a bit derivative and boring.Also there is something in his christ-like promo photos that make me hate him irrationally. But I admit thats irrational.But as I said this is my opinion you are entitled to yours.I know nothing. And I'm not into trance electronica or beats electronica. But to say that tracks like 'Running Down The Way Up' off Movement in Still Life or 'Flaming June' from ESCM didn't redefine a production subgenre (production, not listening) betrays a total lack of knowledge on your part, IMHO. Sorry.Derivative? Derived from who, I ask?Liam

I find his production is too soft and perfect. It doesn't use production as a way to extend the song and make it better but its just perfect eq-ing and processing (admittidely perfect!, but I personally dislike that aseptic trance 90's pop sound). Im not saying this man isn't very talented. Just understand as a listener I do not like his music. Quote:By the way, are you able to post your music on a more accessible site to listen to?

Im getting hosting soon but currently its not neccesary because I'm not really pitching to anyone (public or industry) at the minute.Quote:Never mind. I went down for a nap and returned to find that it was 178 Mb long. Still haven't watched it yet and only because I'm afraid I'm being punked or something. Two and a half hours to download? Either I clicked the link really, really slow, or my connection isn't worth the money I'm paying. Either way. Thanks for sharing.Sorry I should have warned how big it is. Its basically a audio-visual set by a man called Bong-Ra. I saw it the other day and I was so impressed I've been getting everyone to download it.Its sort of a punk-rave-jungle-hip hop and everything in between with really good visuals.

Just understand as a listener I do not like his music.I'd have to agree that a most of his stuff is very clean and "perfect," which works for certain moods but not for others. Though he can kick some butt, too...listen to "Smart Bomb" off MISL (but don't expect "Hells Bells").André
