    Warning: unpopular opinion.

     

    Ok so great synth lines an all that but something bugs me about this stuff. For one it's jumping on the lo-fi bandwagon just a little too hard. I've got to roll my eyes every time I hear one of these tape stop inserts on the recording. Lo-fi sounds great and we all love it but this was such an easy formula to see coming. I want to hear what this guy can do w/ out all the this bullshit texture muck he puts on it. I want him to grow some balls, get naked and see if there's some talent there that isn't covered up by tape hiss.

     

    It's a warranted opinion. Something about 1991's material did grip though more so than many other peers who've been making similar music. "Open the Dark" is one of the weaker tracks (the looped chorus thing has been done a lot already - i.e. Lopatin's EccoJams tracks). The same guy appears to make hardcore techno/industrial as "MCMXCI" - so he appears to be an arguably sincere producer and not just some art student fucking around with tape recordings. Your criticism would be appropriate in the vaporwave thread too, though if 1991 is bad in your opinion you might want to avoid the artists in there even more.

     

     

    No I don't think it's bad. I don't want to give that impression. Just some minor issues I had. However that MCMXCI tape I do not like at all.

    ...and Open To The Dark - wtf, that's not even a sample. It's an entire Cure song shittily taped in room. You might as well be listening to P Diddy or whatever that motherfuckers name is, rip off a Police song. I think I'm being reasonable here.
