i think i was let down because i thought plug would be far more along the lines of aphex twin or squarepusher regarding innovation but i left disappointed

The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that.

Yeah, it kinda totally is like that. For me at least. You find that unsavory?

there is something to be said for the sense of fun and honesty that seem to be common to the vast majority of luke's records, even throughout the many different aliases he records under. i don't ever recall hearing a record of his that seemed too overly concerned with trying to impress the listener with his musical skill (however much you deem that to be). i guess that would be why he may not be considered as prodigious as some of the other "golden gods" of electronic music (i.e., afx or squarepusher), but i don't let that change the way of how i view his stuff.

whenever i first listening to Drum n Bass for Papa, i was just like "this is what the fuss is about?" but after about 2 or 3 listens, i started to feel a whole lot differently.

but since this is supposed to be a "negativity" thread, can't say that i'm a huge fan of Big Soup...

i don't really like luke vibert's music but he seems to have a good attitude and i respect that

Seconded.

Are you serious? Some mental people in here.

This thread stinks.

[boredroom]

cmon vibert knows his stuff! has his head in his own place and his fingers and ears somewhere else.. man he rates TBDP BYTES as one of his top 5 albums - he knows his stuff. I admit that Im never blowing away by his trks like some of afx, ae, sp, pd/tbd era however he seems to have a high standard in his productions Plug stuffs amazing, wagon christ sunset boulevard n throbbing pouch too plus big soup is exactly that, big soup.. deep and classic. hey... good lucky on easy listening

[Calx Sherbet]

[yek]

[Calx Sherbet]

You need a sense of humor to appreciate luke vibert.

[solarion]

i went to the store to buy luke vibert and they only had Tally Ho and Musipal

which neither were in the four I was looking for, so I was annoyed

He does seem like a nice guy, and he is probably honest with his music - but since this is the negativity thread or whatever: why do people keep saying his lack of brilliant musical skill or flair is a good thing? Why listen to an artist who makes music in a (sometimes) half assed way when there's loads out there putting their hearts into doing something special? With most of Luke's stuff, I feel like I could like it, I feel like I want to like it, but it's often just that little bit too repetitive and lazy to allow for enjoyment. I play my music to a friends quite a lot, and Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Plaid, Autechre, BoC, and others, they all get reactions of 'wtf is this!?' or 'wtf, this is awesome!' Whenever I've played Luke Vibert, it's been like, 'yeah, this is quite nice, it's ok.' A little while later it funks along, unnoticed.

Thing is, there IS something special about his music, and it does have lush, fat loops within it, but it never feels capitalized on. I kind of wish he worked with a partner or something, so he could laid out all his ideas quickly (as he does) stoned out of his mind or whatever, and then the other half could render it into something fully-developed and special.

I'm not being harsh for the sake of it. I'm just going by how my ears hear his records and how he comes across in interviews re making music.

i think that's the point though.

the others give new listeners that "wtf?" moment, whereas lukes style would be a lot more easy going and familiar to them. he just happened to get lumped in with the woah idm crowd.

i don't think luke wants nerds scratching their chin when they listen to his tunes. for me (and him too, most certainly), it's just about the beats and grooviness.

eg. i rarely listen to squarepusher anymore. was amazing when you first hear it, but after a while I just got tired of it. keep coming back to luke though, because funnily enough it's the simplicity of his music that keeps it fresh IMO.

electrophy is a terrible track.
