I'm going to judge you based on your response to it.

I'm going to judge you based on your response to it.
Probably too demanding an assignment for many of you.
If you don't fancy that one, here's a single song by the same artist:

(O.L.D. - Underglass)
Respond to this instead.
Not that fussed about this one. It might just be the youtube rip,
but the production sounds really ropey (I appreciate that it's over 20 years old).
For me it has a sorta retro-futuristic vibe that perfectly encapsulates
the transient & perhaps even illusory notion of modernity
and thus, paradoxically, achieves a sort of timelessness
The individual O.L.D song sounds nothing like the Atomsmasher album. How exactly is the response to that song a suitable substitute for the response to the album?
if it sounded like it, then there'd be no point :P
One's extremely noisy & confrontational, the other is elegant & restrained. Both are extremely complex & bizarre pieces of music by the same songwriter. I'm not going to say any more, yet. Someone should probably link a Khanate video for the hat-trick though :D
But your original intention was just to include the album
You are now trying changing the premise of the thread. I listened to the rest of the OLD album as a result of listening to Underglass.
The premise of the thread was to get people listening to James Plotkin's stuff
The judging conceit was merely a device to hook DiSers' attentions. In your case, I'd say the thread has been an unqualified success :D
I just wanted to be judged
Quite like the rest of the OLD album now. Retro-futuristic is a good way to describe it now, 20 years after it was made.
it's a goddamn incredible album ya
you're a good listener & a better pedant ;)
Yeah, I like it.
I don't think it's the finest example of it's type, but yeah, it's alright. I've never seen him live, and with these things it's all about the live show, so it's a bit hard to comment.
Ooh, finer examples!
liiiiink
(melt-banana are the best live band i've seen obv but they're a little different to this i think)
I know it tries to mix everything up,
but I just feel that it reigns in on the traits that make the best of the more narrowly-focused digital hardcore and grindcore acts great. I dunno, I usually like stuff that tries to grab from everywhere, but although I do like it, it comes across as a little diluted to me.
Oh yes, links.
Naked City would be the big one, I suppose.
Here's a link of them playing a show back in 1992: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYgsaeGWNHA
dude Naked City's s/t album was my undisputed 1990 choice in that album/years thread
i guess i no longer have to imagine what they were like live :D
Imagine going to see them play here:

loooool
i'm probably going to sleep now but what i've heard of this video (with a couple of skips for variety's sake) is incendiary; astounding
if there's anything remotely this good happening in london you have to, like, PM me or something
any currently-operating analogues to naked city gratefully accepted in this thread too
and yes I was at Boadrum London OBVS
i mean, who wasn't? all the losers obv
Musical Anthropology for Virgins
or something?
I'm sure someone who likes Mike Patton likes it.
Sorry. I'm a bit pissed.
you judged yourself here
there is no need for further judgement
Here's the thing:
We don't really need another noise record by someone who calls their songs "Pokemon Gangbang"
We don't really need an ironic, Fruity Loops take on Black Metal
It just feels like music for schoolboys.
Isn't this better:

I was really hoping that'd be Crazy in Love or something
i like the phantomsmasher record, it's a lot more chill
there's a bit in anubis innertube where he stutter effects the vocals over double bass drum & reversed reverb cymbals which makes me feel things.
never gt into this one though.
don't judge people though
The Phantomsmasher album is one of my favourites
every listen is as mesmerising as the first time I heard it.
It would have been great to have seen this live. Not sure how it would possibly work with all the trick drums and mulched vocals. It's a real shame Speedranch isn't making music anymore.
never listened to anything by him outside of khanate before
