Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 pretty good percussion but the video is 13 times more interesting than the entire melodic content of the song, I definitely agree with all the people saying flabulb is a soulless douche clown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impakt Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I don't hate on him, but this sounds a bit cheesy and like something an anonymous film-score producer could have made. Make it a bit dirtier and soulful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Member Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 He's not that bad, not that good either. Just a guy trying to make a living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 this sounds a bit cheesy and like something an anonymous film-score producer could have made. Make it a bit dirtier and soulful. exactly I showed up at our local backwoods electronic festival "aesthetic evolution" at about 3am and I heard this dewd wanking on guitar to some really generic sounding IDM had no idea who it was but it seriously made me cringe and I was completely surprised to hear IDM. I had really low expectations for the music there so the fact that I was quickly cringing hearing some randomly playing IDM when I thought it was gonna be lame boring techno says a lot found out a bit later it was flahbulb he definitely deserves the criticism's of not sounding like hes putting any heart, taste, class, soul, raw energy into his music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiddleBot Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 a friend of mine played me an album lately where each track sounded like a richard d james mid-90s's cover.. is this flashbulb? going to check this out nonetheless.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Foil Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I don't hate on him, but this sounds a bit cheesy and like something an anonymous film-score producer could have made. Make it a bit dirtier and soulful. This. He has a couple of good track but it all sounds so... empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sprigg Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Based on this song, I'll probably be picking the album up soon. I didn't like Soundtrack to a Vacant Life very much, but I like this song quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpentintollwut Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I guess the problem is that very genericness. Thinking about it, I'm probably only really interested in music that's got something extraordinary about it, anything, anywhere. I can't find anything special about The Flashbulb. It sounds like he's emulating various things, not necessarily poorly emulating, just ... it's not exploring any new terrain, at all. Plus I just dislike that specific niche he's chosen. I already forgot what the track sounded like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnar Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 it's a nice track. i get the feeling people are expecting afx/squarepusher type quality from flashbulb. there are alot of people doing similar "generic" music, but noone is hating on them.

MadnessR Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Holden: This is a site populated by militant movie buffs. Sad, pathetic little bastards living in their parents basement, downloading scripts and what they think is inside information about movies and actors they claim to dispise, yet can't stop discussing. Sounds like another site I know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 LOL I love how there's this defense like ohh so you hate this but because so many people say they hate it's some type of sign of that there doing something right... lol 9.8 times out of 10 the reason so many people say they hate something is the way its being represented and because it fucking sucks really polished music without any soul or raw expressionistic introspective energy is way worse than badly made music with heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Its just like that one of your friends that you can't really help but make fun of no matter how hard you try, right from the get go this dewds music annoyed me with its cheesyness, its just as simple as that that's the fine line of making music that sometimes you cant even describe how to create or remove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
