i like the last one and the cover is nice aswell ! :-)
Commercial?
I beg to differ
This is quite Lush I think is the word I would use.
when i say commercial i dont mean commercial in a madonna way i mean commercial compared to our small techno "underground" (haha) universe. "easy accessible" is a better description i think. nothing wrong if you prefer stuff like that tho. but there is a difference between melodic like afx and most of the idm shizzl (dont want to list them all) or detroity stuff on the one hand and stuff like this on the other hand.
in the end its still just music. if you like it buy it. if you dont like it dont buy it.
easily the weakest record Itoh's released, nothing melodic about it. Sticking a riff over beats doesnt make it melodic, as alot of the elements here are not even in tune, they dont sound coherent and the actual mix downs of the tracks leave alot to be desired on this record, things just dont gel at all on this release, very poor i thought
which was a shame as i love Itoh's stuff, he makes some amazing records, and what a shame to waste such a beautiful artwork on this record
it's certainly nowt special and one of itoh's weaker releases but it'll work in a big room so I guess the jobs done if thats what he's after.
it'l sound ok out of course, but then again most things do in a club nice and loud
that artwork is immense though, loving that
i might buy it just for the sleeve
Different strokes for different fokes
I like it
Everybody needs to make some GayTek now and again.
gotta keep those bigger bookings coming in ey?
2nd track was ok 'til that cheesy funk d'void style bass riff kicked in.
rest of it sounds like some dodgy prime distribution release from 5 years ago.
just hope it's a one off and he's got it out of his system :laughing:
:laughing:
i think it's quite nice...
the 3rd track is a lovely pounder in my ears....
the rest,average fodder.
I'd like to see some of the naysayers make something better, or sell more than this record will. Even the lowest amount of records this may sell. Seriously Boa used to be the shit, then all the negative nancies walked into town with their noses so far in the atmosphere you're wondering if they had a nosebleed.
You cats can give two shits less about techno, you only care about yourselves, and how cool your opinion looks with the rest of your crew. Keep standing off to the side with your black cloaks on trying to swat the storm clouds over your heads away.
do you mean me?Quote:

it's one record mate, get over yourself. he's released some belters and plenty of not so hot ep's - just like this one.
and the day sales figures have any relevance...
@SOS
thats a bit of a generalisation!! is it wrong not to like every techno record that comes out???
as my taste would have it i dont play alot of melodic stuff, but the odd time, Inigo Kennedy or Joris Voorn or some1 comes out with something that catches my attnention, with some serious melody, which this record doesnt achieve IMO.
sales aside, this is not groundbreaking or fresh IMO, but we all have diifferent tastes, and if you like it, im sure it will sound good stuck in a set somewhere!
Before I've' even heard of him?Quote:

I actually like when you have something to say.
Not sure if I do anymore after this one though.
tried to Pm u there SOS..
its all good :;
Dint realize my settings were as they were
prob fixed hit me up
SoS you're the first to dish out insults almost daily in this place so don't come the hard done to just because someone dished it back, even if i did throw that "before you'd heard of him" in purposely, knowing it'd pee you right off :laughing:Quote:

Daily, yeah that's me. You got me.
Now if you'll excuse me I have to discipline my daughter & get drunk after wards.
i'm not sure what you're trying to insinuate there mate but you need to be careful.Quote:

ps. i got your apology via pm, i would've replied but your settings didn't allow.
The third tune is pretty good, not so keen on the other two.
Like everybody else has already said, he's made some belters, but im not feeling this one too much to be honest
Insinuating you are not the only one with stress or children, nothing more nothing less. You're the one with your panties in a bunch for a comment that wasn't nearly aimed at you, so yeah, fall back.Quote:

i'm glad it's a whole tune.
sometimes i find records with just 1 or 2 minutes i like.
even then i would consider using it.

Some of us don`t like a record some of us do, but it becomes personal.
It`s just opinions, and I personally find it more healthy when not everyone agrees, than if we all just smiled a glazed over expression and agreed
Personally, I`m indifferent about this record. It looks like it`s meant to be a bit of a mainstreamer, but to me, musically, it`s not up to scratch compared to other stuff in this side of techno. However, it`s pleasant enough.
Love the artwork, but I think I`ll have forgotten the tune in no time.
But I`m sure there`ll be another Itoh tune out in about 4 or 5 days anyway, so these things aren`t meant to be built to last.
couldnt agree more, some people are just way more precious about other people's stuff when they dont need to be
i liked the first version of your post more :;
yeah, but it would be toy's out the pram time then for certain people here and you just know it. Im actually just off to my grandfathers funeral in about half an hour so a little diplomacy was called for i thought :(
Some people just don't know how to respect other peoples opinions around here. All this bickering in here nothing constructive. Fac thinks he's Surgeon. Hawtin plays Scott and now he's sippin' mojito's with Carl Cox. Seriously get over your little over inflated ego's and try to contribute something to this community. CONTRIBUTE say it with me slowly
CON
TRI
BUTE
Give something of yourself that builds, not detracts.
Bueller?
Bueller?
All this hogwash because I posted a record that I still think is hot.
I get donkey kong lookalikes running off at the mouth pounding their chests throwing barrels for no reason.
meh.. techno is shite and we're all homosexuals
Couldn't agree with you more.Quote:

After that I can watch the video where Hawtin and Vath give an oh so gentle caress. To top it all off I'm grabbing my assless chaps and turning it loose to I'm So Sexy by right said fred while the boy george screen shots flash across my screen, then will I truly end my day on a great note.
you know what i hate?
when your arsehole gets itchy and you're in public :whoops:

is it not allowed to say you dont link something? do i have to stfu only cause this record doesnt give me a boner? itoh is a man who made some stuff i really like and now there's a record from him i dont like. thats it.
wow, someone's had a heavy night on the white stuff
AHEM,*whispers* i think you'll find its called football :briggin:Quote:
