Guest zaphod Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I hate when bands have to prove that they've recorded to tape by using that "started the tape while playing guitar" sound, ie. the beginning of this track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjhCbsrNpXw It's so fucking common in shoegaze, WHY?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-7MeqSIj4E that national anthem one is just an effect though, from the previous song (kid a). here's a real one: [youtubehd]F2ztWvuyXeU[/youtubehd] another. subtler: [youtubehd]A4Udoa1eaXQ[/youtubehd] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modey Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hit up some Simon and GarFUNKel, I can already hear Scarborough Fair with a synth arpeggio in the background. Haha, maybe! I do want to try recent stuff though, to make it seem like it was actually a cover of an 80s pop song.. zole I blame Glee. Oh this has been happening for a long time before Glee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I blame Glee. Oh this has been happening for a long time before Glee: Hah, true. I should of clarified, I will make Glee the scapegoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autopilot Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 i hate the retro-style stock sample 808 & 909 beats that are in everything. electronic music has infinite potential and the hip thing right now is to make your songs sound 20-30 years old. yawn.

modey Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'd agree with you, but I'd be contradicting myself, considering the amount of time I spend making my music sound like it was made in the 70s/80s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autopilot Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 well at least you'll have an audience as long as ironically retro hipsters are still around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Nah, my stuff isn't the 'cool' kind of 70s/80s throwback. My 70s stuff sounds like Genesis and my 80s stuff sounds like.. er.. Genesis.. as opposed to sounding like Hall & Oates or whoever the cool kids are ripping off these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny O Flannagin Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 When you hear the beat go quarter, quarter, eight eight eight eighth, then a bunch of 16ths. You've definitely heard it before, cant describe it too well ...then 32nds then 64ths then a granular roll and then the beat comes back in? yeah, getting ready for the "big event" that is about to happen... fucking just kill me now i thought the same, and still kind of do live it fucking kills though. Autechre actually uses the drum-machine overload in this track: I want to think it's tongue-in-cheek... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
