Glenn Wilson - new sound.

**MARKEG** · 11-07-2005, 12:01 AM

Has anyone actually realised the direction Glenn Wilson is going in? Is it just me or is this just an incredible new direction for techno music??? Why the hell aren't we all talking about this?? Seems like ppl have forgotten about him??? Well I'm sorry but if you've got half a care about techno music you should be checking his latest stuff. I've had about 5 or 6 new mp3's from him and I'm putting my neck on the line telling you all this is such a step forward. It really is. Let me know what you all think ;)

I'm all for it - always loved Glenn's stuff and this new stuff is a great progression... and i'm glad that unlike many other producers he's still trying new things and pushing new sounds and forgetting about what's expected. i really do dig the new sound - almost a hybrid of all the techno sub-genres in one package. :clap:

I`ve tried to see something new in it, I really have. And as much as I like some of it, it doesn`t really seem to be anything new.
Unless the addition of some chords counts?
Good stuff for sure, but a new direction for techno? I really don`t see it.

Appreciating it for sure!!!

I wouldn't have called it a new "direction" for techno, but it is a progression - especially for him, but i agree in that it's not amazingly original or anything, but i don't think techno gets all that inventive until you're really into the "vogel-esque" experimental territory which is very dancefloor-friendly (works for me, but for the general crowd).

agree with mark he certinaly is goin in a new direction the last 2 magntics have been outstanding the heros international on with lekebush is wicked 2 :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

**eyes without a face** · 11-07-2005, 08:43 AM

a new sound? thats a bit of a strong claim to be honest, really, i love Glenn's work to a silly extent and always have, but there's nothing new there, these new Hereo's international, Magnetics and latest Punish are just normal Glenn Wilson records to me, if there was any change in sound as forward thinking as being claimed here i would genuinely have brought it up myself.... but alas there's not, its good work no doubt, i love the new magnetics, but imo its nothing new

**MARKEG** · 11-07-2005, 09:21 AM

well then you just must be on a different planet to me then, because if you pull out, say, 'doggy style' and then play the 'metal' track next to it, the progression is incredible. and that's in the space of about 2 years. do that to most artists and you will not see this. marco bailey was producing the same bloody loop for about 3 years :lol:

sure it's not a 'new' sound, but it's a 'new' feel. eyes and dirty, you're entitled to your own opinion, but i'm just thinking that so many artists these days get stuck in a rutt, producing the same track - just with slightly different sounds in them. 90% of artists do this, cause they feel safe. i'm not seeing the safe option in glenn's new stuff, far from it. glenn falls into that 10% of producers who really are obviously pushing things forward. and you're right, you're never gonna get complete innovation without becoming cristian vogel and then, it becomes experimental.

i say new direction for techno cause i genuinely think it is. banging hard techno with soul and funk almost. it's not the 'only' new direction for techno but it's one of them, and i for one love it - just hope more ppl go down this route instead of just bashing out distorted 1 bar loops.

everyone's entitled to their opnion though eh ;)

That Magnetics Ep, was a totally different sound from Glenn.
His material has more of a musical approach to it
The boy has always had rhtyhm no doubt, now he is showing a broader composition range, I respect it no doubt.

**BloodStar** · 11-07-2005, 09:59 AM

Respect to Glenn Wilson for all he did for techno, that's for sure...But i dont"t see anything in his music what could be called new direction. Even his tracks rock for a lot of years,,he did really awesome tracks,,but when we talk about Bailey's loops,, i think Glenn did same,,and he did very often, too..
Nice to hear, he's going differently, now,. I'm for it, but nothing really new,, i'd say.

**wenna** · 11-07-2005, 10:50 AM

it is reallygoood. kindo f like funk d'void on ketamine

**slavestudios** · 11-07-2005, 01:17 PM

i like his early stuff, but he would need to do something drastic..

how can we hear this 'step forward' mr EG or do we have to take your word for it ?

no harm to mr wilson, but anything other than a loop with 1 break would be a new step.. his work & labels have got so lazy & formulaic over the last 4 years.

i don't know, i think his stuff on Magnetics is a pretty different direction from his previous stuf. i'm liking it.

**eyes without a face** · 11-07-2005, 02:16 PM

well Mark ur changing the question there.... if you had of asked "Do you think Glenn has progressed in sound between such and such records " then of course, but on the flip side Magnetics and Punish are 2 totally different labels and "Doggy Style" is a different side to the stuff Glenn does so maybe not the best releases to compare, of course there is a big difference in the sound of those 2 records, but that wasnt the question... u said do we think this is an exciting, fresh new sound and as u said we are entitled to our opinions and i dont think it is, its exciting and i like it, but i dont deem it new

im sure Glenn wouldnt take any offence in that either, i love his work, but i love it for what it is to me and not what others claim it to be, as i do with most techno and electronic music

yeah i agree, its definetly changed and i love it, really top notch stuff.
but i wouldnt agree on it being a whole new techno sound weve not heard before

**slavestudios** · 11-07-2005, 04:27 PM

right, so its a personal step forward for Mr Wilson, but not for techno as a whole.

is that any way close ?

**SlavikSvensk** · 11-07-2005, 04:47 PM

i don't think it's revolutionary, but i like it...

what he said.
It`s good that glen is doing different things for himself, we all need to change formulas now and again.

As for it being a new direction for techno, if you think about it, it may be, because there will probably be a sea of magnetics clones turning up over the next few months.

Is there any really new and fresh techno kicking about though?
I haven`t heard much in the last 3-4 months.
I wish I did.

**eyes without a face** · 11-07-2005, 05:27 PM

yeah pete that sums it up quite nicely id say

**Numeric** · 11-07-2005, 10:06 PM

Glenn is still the overlord of hard techno as far as i'm concerned...

Feelin the new Magnetics, Heroes International and Punish s**t...
