why BT might be halfway interesting or at least old stuff of his

[Ragnar]

so like I insulted the guy in some recent video for being MANTEENAGER (new term like 'manbaby' I want to coin/invent), but um I remembered his album Movement in Still Life and like there might be some DEPRESSIVE SHIT going on in the album, depressiontechno and there was maybe this weird politics behind the album? There was both a US and a UK version of the album that used different track list

 

 

 

flol without checking the wikipedia link guess which cover is UK

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movement_in_Still_Life

 

so like, it's more similar than I thought maybe? But UK exclusive track is GIVING UP THE GHOST

 

 

https://genius.com/Bt-giving-up-the-ghost-lyrics

 

and US version has "Never Gonna Come Back Down"

 

 

https://genius.com/Bt-never-gonna-come-back-down-lyrics

 

SOUL COUGHING or someone like that

 

even this can completely change the TONE of the album imo? Was there some execs saying america is not ready for DEPRESSIONTEKNO

 

also "Dreaming" I think secretly is about a folie a deux suicide thing or just ODING

 

 

https://genius.com/Bt-dreaming-lyrics

 

take my hand givs pill

 

even "Movement in Still Life", I had an out of body experience one time and had a possible interpretation of death being like Counter-Strike logic, you disappear or it's just your unmoving body but the scenery is still there and you're aware of it? Movement becomes Still Life. Spoopy

 

so yeah even if he's not actually deep was there some behind the scenes goings on where MURICAN TECHNO CAN'T BE DEPRESSION LESS $$$$$

 

also USA got The Crystal Method TWEEKEND while UK had Chemical Brothers, "don't rely on this to get you high", "IT DOESN'T MATTER IT DOESN'T MATTER" lol

 

 

Edit: "Dreaming" could be read as pretty optimistic but a lot of suicide I think is people feel a little BETTER and have HOPE but just enough hope to complete/act out the suicide?

[Ragnar]

And they were scrawling on the window with wise-ass keys

And they were driving out the lots in their Mercurys

 

 

would this fuk your interpretation of the album

 

if Giving Up the Ghost was on the version solace could be "solace"

 

 

godspeed lol good speed becomes 'godspeed' sends a rocket coffin into space a la 90's nickelodeon Doug

[Ragnar]

so yeah disparaging him as MANTEENAGER now I dunno because this is kind of objective teenager stuff maybe

[Ragnar]

 

 people feel a little BETTER and have HOPE but just enough hope to complete/act out the suicide?

 

 

 

obama then trump LOL

[Ragnar]

BT in some meeting 'but I want to use the UK cover I liked nirvana mang'

 

US version contextualizes it so Nirvana becomes "nirvaaaaannna" new age crystalz

RULRES OF IDM FIGHT CLUNB even if you're gonna do a lichen remix it's supposed to be complete context mindfuck or a 0.12 second clip of lichen not straight up cover with some breakz with DOO DOOO DOO DU DO

[Rotwang]

Kinda conflicted about BT. On the one hand he's made some legitimately great tunes, like this for example:

But on the other hand, look at his fucking haircut:

 

 

 

I mean, for fuck's sake.

lol yes WORST STAGE PRESENCE EVER, this binary universe was ok maybe trying to make a vy for aphex cred but at least it was low key and it might be his artwork and no frosted tip photoshop photo layered on top of the artwork lol

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J11S648VAM8

 

written for his DOGGO supposedly, john wick decides not to murder anyone and writes song for murder dog instead

 

yeah his image is awful but he had a deviantart account that still exists but I think some artwork is gone because I remember like some of it was kind of SCARY at least in contrast to the stage presence etc. Like more sci-fi dehumanized looking stuff

 

this album was awful but I like these single covers, the main album art is cringe though don't look it up

 

 

 

is that his doggo nooooooo

 

yeah his identity how he sells his music is ULTRAVAPID sometimes but I think he had a legit doggo grief episode

 

also this album was horrible has SOMAMBULIST guiness stutter video but this is on it and kind of like it

 

 

'great escape' is this stealth grief

 

in the context of doggo this is really sad shit

 

 

With the cries of night creatures

I dimly understand…

In your great escape

In your great escape

It's your chance to take

Make your great escape

I remember seeing BT headline a rave on 4th of July during the 90's in Orlando, Florida.  I was there to party and see Rabbit In The Moon.  BT put on a pretty cool live show, with a group of choreographed drummers & live vocalist.  Was a mix of trance/breaks/pop, at least in my opinion.

This version sounds majorly slowed down. The one I have is about 7 minutes and is much quicker? 

 

Aside from that, I thought BT was a pioneer RE granular synthesis in electronic music, or is that all bs?

 

edit: oh yeah also, "This Binary Universe" was a great album any genre bashing aside. Great stuff.

[Ragnar]

also emotional technology UK version cover was probably his idea if either not frostedtips version

[Ragnar]

yeah in that context 'great escape' is kind of a PUT DOWN of a song (subtle)

[Ragnar]

re: granular synthesis everybody thinks of STUTTER EDIT which can be awful but yeah I think there's granular synthesis too. Might've tried it out because it was mentioned in an interview somewhere?

 

good or not haha

 

guy's definitely got hairrrrrrr late 90's nostalgia issues though

 

he also ghostwrote the soundtrack to zoolander hahaha

[Rotwang]

This version sounds majorly slowed down. The one I have is about 7 minutes and is much quicker?

Dunno, but IIRC it's only on vinyl so maybe someone's playing it at the wrong speed? Ratio of times is about right.

My version is off an official release though, R&R aka "Rare and Remixed*?

 

[Ragnar]

also those single covers bald guys dressed in yellow, maybe he's like buddhist to some extent but not hip trendy buddhist, I think he sees SAD SHIT sometimes in it. Like my issue with those people is 'i'm gonna join this group and transmogrify into laughing buddha etc.etc.'

 

there's a conspiracy theory that snares is buddhist but like this CHAOS version of buddhism. breakcore monk. and daniel lanois' studio

 

 

isn't there a buddhist term that's like basically, karma bondage

[Ivan Ooze]

i'v listened and enjoyed music made by rapists, neo nazis, murderers, junkies, baby eaters and trump supporters who marry a kardashian but i will never ever listen to this guy. His music sounds like his hair, it's makes me fuckin puke
