which is the better disc on meat beat manifesto's "subliminal sandwich"

[Fred McGriff]

someone said it earlier best, that it was like having to choose your favorite child. but even mothers have their favorite children. i have thought and thought about this, and i've decided that disc 1 is better. i'm listening to it right now and the shit still sounds 9 million years ahead of its time. fuck me, is this album one of the greatest albums of all time. fuck me. *cries into pants out of penis*

Disc 2

[Fred McGriff]

good choice

[awepittance]

i don't mean to turn this into a hate thread but jesus Subliminal sandwich is one of theee best and most diverse electronic albums produced and then comes Autoimmune. ..... I loved 'at the center' albeit a little bit less diverse than previous works but when Jack Dangers started doing really generic sounding dubstep i kind of lost hope.

[Fred McGriff]

fuck me, autoimmune is one of my fav albums of 08

 

but ss is at least 30 or 40 times better

[autopilot]

I think Autoimmune is pretty entertaining. Not on the level of Disc 2, Actual Sounds..., or RUOK? for me, but still an enjoyable listen.

[Meadows and Labyrinths]

Disc 1

 

Long Periods Of Time

1979

She's Unreal

Asbestos Lead Asbestos

Transmission <----- are you kidding me

 

didn't care for Autoimmune, but haven't heard it in a while. it scarred me for a bit being a huge MBM fan.

[Guest hahathhat]

i got the fear -- part 1, 2, 3, or 4?

[Velazquez]

Disc two.

 

It's a masterpiece, disc one is stellar.

 

Eccentric objects gets no love here... Jack dangers is the man.

[awepittance]

kind of dropped off after RUOK and actual sounds, i dont know something about those two albums never had the magic for me that made MBM so appealing before. 'At the cente'r i think is the best thing they've done as a band since Subliminal Sandwich

 

this solo Dangers album 'loudness clarifies' knocked the absolute shit out of me. One of my favorites of the last 10 years certainly

 

 

the only song off autoimmune i think that stands up to old MBM is Spanish Vocoder

 

Subliminal Sandwich harkens back to the days when Trent Reznor has really good taste in music

[Guest tidbit]

question, why you american so often praise mbm?

 

dont get me wrong, surely lots of europeans like it too.. but it seems to me its always you

guys mentioning them.. theres gotta be soemthing behind all this, im sure

 

 

[awepittance]

racist, that's like asking why do asians like rice

[Guest boo]

so mbm to an american is like rice to a chinese

[Guest tidbit]

ok, then.. so did they play there a lot? or do they have especially wide american distribution?

 

 

 

[awepittance]

ok, then.. so did they play there a lot? or do they have especially wide american distribution?

 

i'd imagine it probably started with Wax Trax records releasing their first stuff, it popularized a lot of European made music to American culture. The first 2 MBM discs were on wax trax records(a chicago based label)

[Guest tidbit]

hmm.. that would make sense

 

could there be any musical attributes to it?

(was that the correct term?)

 

 

 

[Meadows and Labyrinths]

Disc 2

[awepittance]

also jack dangers has resided in the untied states for quite a while, i know he's lived in San Francisco for at least 4 years

[Guest tidbit]

disc 2 it is

 

altho my fav mite be.. at the center or in dub

[Fred McGriff]

subliminal sandwich is a matter of taste, not nationality. people with good taste love it. period.

[Velazquez]

My bro played satyricon for me in 1994 and I was hooked. Shortly after I heard aphex twin, through my brother who would get promo records and what not, as he worked in a record store.

[Guest tidbit]

surely.. maybe you guys just are bit more vocal about it

 

 

[Fred McGriff]

extensive touring/promotion etc then

[Guest tidbit]

back to loving ..

[Fred McGriff]

actually i think in a sample size as small as watmm it is probably just coincidence that americans seem to be more vocal about mbm
