Guest Calx Sherbet Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 i like Pale Blue Dot, but that's not at all what he typically makes the preview on page 1 is better than Vacant Life. but still average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o00o Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 i challenge someone to prove to me through usage of youtube clips that the flashbulb has good there are some tracks that are kind of nice 2-3 lps ago (not aphex nice but nice) will listen to the new flashbulb later at home so I can tell myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o00o Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 his problem are the melodies he should just change the scales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 its possible to make a cheese dick melody in every scale in existence and I'm pretty sure he is one to accomplish such a goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azatoth Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 video was more interesting than the track. it just oozes empty calculated IDM tropes, disguised to be deep and insightful. i am sure his teenage fans, who lap up his self-created image of some amazing IDM god, will think this is a masterpiece. he has the chops but lacks soul and just sounds empty and insincere.

impakt Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 i challenge someone to prove to me through usage of youtube clips that the flashbulb has good Here's some tracks I reckon are good. I'm not his biggest fan, but I think he's made both good and bad stuff.

azatoth Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 all those sound like generic emulated squarepusher and afx tracks from their different eras. where is his own sound and touch??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impakt Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Well, I think it's obvious that it bares his touch and I don't care if he wanted to emulate anything - most people do. As long as it's not a total clone of what someone tries to emulate, it's no problem for me. It's when you emulate something too good that you reach the "uncanny valley" and it might put me off. Like monolith and the tuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xyrofen Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I like the Acidwolf tracks, Red Extensions of Me, Girls Suck but You Don't, and the Binedump EP a lot. From there I'm pretty indifferent to most of his stuff, though I have times where I love the Dr. Lefty tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesomeperson Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Agree, his Acidwolf/Human Action Network output is his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 really polished music without any soul or raw expressionistic introspective energy is way worse than badly made music with heart Dj Nate > Flashbulb? :) by that statement I mean more like Daniel Johnston > Lady Gaga diamond in the ruff > polished turd sandwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneaksta303 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I DO like his HAN and Dr. Lefty releases. Acidwolf too. In fact, most of my flashbulb negativity comes from meeting him and intensely not liking him. But really, he hasn't released anything good in a million years.

vamos scorcho Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 wow. those tracks are all complete shit to my ears. obviously watered down corporate trash? it's like he's purposefully trying to make the emptiest, most vile music possible. an insult to the art form, unless it's some kind of brilliant satire or something. i would rather listen to real life elevator music.

Guest Scrambled Ears Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR6VrOYj2Lg i like this one. dont think the drums sound that much like afx...maybe more like squarepusher (especially that red extensions of me album). all in all i havent listened to his records in ages but there was a time where I liked it. this new stuff (and that last album) are too psuedo-emotional introspective. seriously enough w. the violin and piano or just go provide the fresh beatz for a jazzband so we can leave it at that.

Guest Enter a new display name Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I remember liking some of flhabsulbu's material (like some tunes off Réunion and "Lucid Bass I" off Red Extensions of Me), but the videos posted by Impakt didn't interest me at all. I think this kind of generic IDM is what many of us used to enjoy as teenagers and those methods sound like shit once you look back at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
