I kind of feel like the track works and the vocal works but they don't work together?

this 'the most beautiful thing' remix is incredible.

that's, erm, less incredible.

or perhaps in another sense.

haha, I cracked up so hard at the beginning of that

We talked about this one yet?

meh
― the late great, Friday, 7 September 2012 07:01 (eleven years ago) link
Well, compared to the original its a step up. A major one.
― Josiah Alan, Friday, 7 September 2012 07:04 (eleven years ago) link
I'm still having a hard time believing that this Crosstown Rebels, Visionquest, Hot Creations sound that Todd Burns seems so infatuated with is actually a major thing.
― Josiah Alan, Friday, 7 September 2012 07:06 (eleven years ago) link
Ooh so slow druggy deep house with OK drums, so amazing.
Ooh so (insert anything here) so amazing.
― Tim F, Friday, 7 September 2012 09:01 (eleven years ago) link
Dunno, just seems like a very bland and conservative kind of music to be getting all hot and bothered about.
I like Benoit and Sergio as much as the next guy but am so far a little underwhelmed by this "trend".
― Josiah Alan, Friday, 7 September 2012 13:16 (eleven years ago) link
with you, brah, except I absolutely hate that shit
― The Reverend, Saturday, 8 September 2012 04:06 (eleven years ago) link
Even Nick Hannam's "Love You Girl"?

it's tough, stuff gets popular. It's not always the best stuff, it's not always the stuff you like. And it sucks that you have to hear this fake shit night after night after night
― blank, Saturday, 8 September 2012 04:33 (eleven years ago) link
I don't think you can front on Infinity Ink's "Games":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmQKOXbN1_Q
― Tim F, Saturday, 8 September 2012 04:40 (eleven years ago) link
Or indeed "House of Infinity".
― Tim F, Saturday, 8 September 2012 04:44 (eleven years ago) link
which is like mid 90s Carl Craig (somewhere between the Jonny L and Aquarhythms remixes) meets garage.
― Tim F, Saturday, 8 September 2012 04:46 (eleven years ago) link
or indeed

leectric feel is even better
(lee foss)
these actually have a passing resemblance (in struxture) to some todd stuff
― the late great, Saturday, 8 September 2012 04:51 (eleven years ago) link
kinda lowest common denominator but it still gets MASSIVE SUPPORT
― the late great, Saturday, 8 September 2012 04:52 (eleven years ago) link
I still maintain that Rev thinks that all of these tunes are the same as Art Department's "Without You" and Benoit & Sergio's "Walk & Talk" without actually hearing them.
― Tim F, Saturday, 8 September 2012 04:56 (eleven years ago) link
seriously tho the build from the three minute mark of "House of Infinity" is just (((((((((( d[-_-]b ))))))))))

True, well you know BAD FIRST IMPRESSIONS and all of that, but yes Art Depo and B&S most certainly have biased me against whoever else people want to associate with them. These tracks are all fine (or at least that last one was until MGMT came in) but they don't get me excited. I loved the Robin Thicke one when I heard it in a DJ Q mix, so maybe playing this stuff with the pitch way up and surrounded by garridge is the key.
I was saying on twitter tho that even tho I got into dance music through house, I'm kind of super-bummed by almost anything 4x4 at the moment. Seems to kind of have become the provenance of dance music's stodgiest elements (or most garish, but I'm less frustrated with that kru).
― The Reverend, Saturday, 8 September 2012 07:34 (eleven years ago) link
Now to catch up on that other thread.
― The Reverend, Saturday, 8 September 2012 07:35 (eleven years ago) link
I do appreciate this particular piece of sage wisdom I received on twitter tho:
"House is like your mother. She raised you and you'll always love her, but sometimes you gotta move out of the house."
― The Reverend, Saturday, 8 September 2012 07:42 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, and start making techno.
I think what rubs me the wrong way the most about Infinity Ink is the way the vocals have this faint whiff of MGMT/ pseudo Beegees kinda thing.
It doesn't much matter that there's a bumpy little garage loop under the rest of the beat, still yeucch.
― Josiah Alan, Saturday, 8 September 2012 17:30 (eleven years ago) link
Maybe its more Cut Copy than MGMT, I've spent too much time playing this crap for college students.
― Josiah Alan, Saturday, 8 September 2012 17:33 (eleven years ago) link
Are you talking about "Infinity" Josiah or "House of Infinity"?
― Tim F, Saturday, 8 September 2012 17:45 (eleven years ago) link
House of Infinity, that'd be the one with the garage loop.
― Josiah Alan, Saturday, 8 September 2012 17:49 (eleven years ago) link
I did like Games better than the other two.
― Josiah Alan, Saturday, 8 September 2012 17:50 (eleven years ago) link
Out of everything I've heard on Crosstown Rebels I liked the Francesca Lombardo release the most. Old School Anna is pretty good.
― Josiah Alan, Saturday, 8 September 2012 17:52 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah sorry I assumed so I just wasn't sure cos you were talking about "Infinity" above and "House of Infinity" sounds nothing like MGMT or The Bee Gees to me.
― Tim F, Saturday, 8 September 2012 17:54 (eleven years ago) link
Well obviously they're not singing in an Andy Gibb falsetto, but I hear a really strong pop disco thing going on in there.

― Josiah Alan, Saturday, 8 September 2012 18:01 (eleven years ago) link
I am talking just about the vocals, not the rest of the track. Which sure Carl Craig and a little garage influence.
― Josiah Alan, Saturday, 8 September 2012 18:02 (eleven years ago) link
Isn't that just a male house diva thing?
