...oh man! thats gonna SERIOUSLY upset a few people here! :roll:

Nah man, good for him for not sucking his ass, and giving his honest opinion. I'm sure Skoog himself would appreciate the honesty.

**jonnyspeed** · 12-12-2003, 12:48 PM

Cheers! That is my honest opinion. Now sucking up to Henry, one might be accused of that but Mr. Skoog, never!

p.s. "average" is meant in the context of a group of excellent techno producers not the general public... so way better than I could ever dream of producing

peace :)

So Skoog's tunes are not "avin it" are they!?! Because all the tunes I own of his are most definately Avin It! There must be another geezer called skoog, that isn't doin Patrick any favours.... :roll:

**jonnyspeed** · 12-12-2003, 01:02 PM

Might be me but no he ain't avin' it - he's more of a tribal techno warm-up artist than a end of party sprint for the finish... I like to get head rushes from the music when I go out rather than 2 miles an hour plod, plod, plod, have a look around, plod, plod, plod, when the next artist coming on etc. no matter how loud it is

he just doesn't seem to cut it with me. For example BOA9 was worth buying but I'm not sure I'll be playing Rave Killer in 6 years time the same way that I still play Guy McAffer tracks from 1997.

**Spooney** · 12-12-2003, 01:15 PM

I to like to get head rushes from my music - not just when im out. Let his tunes get right inside your head and they will blow it off

I own more tunes by Geezer than by Skoog but I would never call his music boring! I mean Geezer hasn't really been fireing on all cylinders recently has he..

**Adverse** · 12-12-2003, 01:19 PM

in terms of who's "talented" he's average, in terms of who's tracks rock the floor he gets a definitive passing grade. interms of whether his music has no formula? well that is a ridiculous assertion.

**Adverse** · 12-12-2003, 01:21 PM

not that this is all subjective in the first place.

**gunjack** · 12-12-2003, 01:25 PM

skoog gets props.

**MARKEG** · 12-12-2003, 01:56 PM

nope i'm sorry. i'm sticking by what i'm saying.. skoog's stuff is 100% amazing. it's all personal for sure but if you don't think that, well you mustnt be listening to it right. and ok adverse you damn clever clogs (and stop all this lol shit you funny cunt who's gonna get a good old slapping with a wet kipper if he's not careful) there are actually formulas in skoogs music but alot less than most techno artists out there. and there's always really cool clever bits in his production that make his stuff speical.

how anyone can say his music is plod plod plod is waaaaay beyond me :!:

LOL

**Adverse** · 12-12-2003, 02:02 PM

well it's funny? i'm sorry mark. i will attempt to hold it in.

**Adverse** · 12-12-2003, 02:03 PM

lol.

**jonnyspeed** · 12-12-2003, 02:09 PM

I have more an issue with the first track on Club Xperiments than anything Skoog has put out ;)

..but you do rock, Mark.

**jonnyspeed** · 12-12-2003, 02:10 PM

plod, ploddy, plod plod

**jonnyspeed** · 12-12-2003, 04:44 PM

only joshin' wiv ja... ignore me I'm just one of those manic London raveheads - don't get me wrong I like him but probably not in my top ten tracks - guess I just like ****ed up acid and should STFU.

:)

**Dustin Zahn** · 12-12-2003, 06:05 PM

Skoog is pretty dope. Not all of his works are 100% great...sometimes I'm let down but there are other times where I think he's made some of the best records of the year. His Mankind and ND stuff are usually always great. Put this way, when Skoog is on...Skoog is on!

**Buttman** · 12-12-2003, 06:26 PM

The one that goes "UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA fiooooooooooooooooooooooooschooooosh D,D,D,D,D,D KRASCH UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA UMPA TJAKA" is definitely my favourite.

**anx** · 12-12-2003, 06:30 PM

this post is great

just one question

what the **** is a wet kipper

**jonnyspeed** · 12-12-2003, 06:58 PM

a kipper is a type of smoked Herring. Some people eat kippers for breakfast. So a wet kipper is a wet smoked herring. It is used as a term for pathetic.
