Dom -
I liked the part 2 track more. I was thinking what would be the optimal settings for listening to this music, and I could not come with anything. Do you alone have anything in mind, what ativity would go with this? I am not too much into this experimental music, but I'd certainly classify this more as 'good' rahter than 'bad, sucking' music. Joeri - drug ghosts - catchy, aggressive , it reminds me of Firestarter and some track from Fragile towards the end hardcore- very nice, I don't like the distorted parts - if you got this with distorted guitars, I guess it would have been better memory - great, made me wept (although around 2 minute mark it starts meandering nowhere) xylometazoline - rhythm track almost your trademark thing intermezzo - this should be intro music for SP2 hitting the stage, haha! lazy journalist - what a sad, heart-breaking song, outro like something by Primus le deestra - fantastic song, fits right well at the end of the record. Paul - I listened to first four songs. I like the versatility of the tracks, that you don't stick with only one thing. I would actually wouldn't mind listening to this while driving. I was pleasantly surprised by your singing on Wilt. It comes across as a honest stuff, and I wouldn't have thought you can sing like this. isle- hah, that is actually quite sympathetic stuff, isle. You should focus on sing-along songs for children, your music sounds quite suitable for that. I am not sure if you take it as a compliment, but I really don't mean it in a bad way. EDIT: yeah I guess it must be that girl, but I think it is really good if this is what she's bringing to the plate. I wouldn't discourage her at all, quite to the opposite. Happy music is a good music! Luke da Spa - you know I still keep the demo of the song (boats) and I prefer it to this. It is more raw, real, spontaneous. I do not agree with isle that you should be more aggressive or that your music is missing edge. I actually appreciate you're not pushing it, when you don't feel it, that you seem to be comfortable with the way it comes from you. And if you rawk out, it is hilarious (all our base belong to UNICRON! I hope you find other guys for the band very soon, and you get to play this material live. You are very talented songwriter, and it shows. COG- I really felt sorry about you with the Christmas song - how much stuff you have contributed and how little was used at the end. You seem to have good ideas, but when it is all thrown together into songs, it tastes weird. If I were you, I would try to develop more certain ideas, here the things like new leaf - it looks like you get something going, and then you don't know how to progress with it any further, so you jump to some completely different idea -I felt a bit lost. I understand your limitations, but still - the music felt plastic to me, like polyethylene - it is machine music, I lack the human being feeling - but again, if someone is into techno or electronica, he will have a different opinion cork_soaker- that is wonderful music. You and LDS should form a killer duo. I liked Revolve the most, untitled reminded me of Walking on the wild side by Lou Reed. I really have nothing bad to say, and I guess you get enough compliments on your own. Do you have any music that does have more full-abnd sound or is everything like this- minimal, effective, good? brendo that's a buttrock, indeed. I can imagine you'd make a great soundtrack for me drinking 3-4 beers on a nice sunny day afternoon and then in the mood mildly rocking out to your music on some open-air festival. That would be a good time. You know that type of music that's OK enough and is not irritating, but the other day you can't really remember any melody, just that you have had a sort of good time. deadaswarhol I am confused - are you going for the TFE sound on purpose or is it only a temporary thing because you have no drummer right now? I like your guitar playing, it makes me feel sentimental for my high school years. what happened to Sprinkles? I downloaded fucknstars, but the music going together with the video is so much better - I don't know, it reminds me of all the shit we were doing at that time - the song with video is doing a great job in bringing all these memories back - I personally think fucknstars >>>> TFE sound I hope you get some drummer soon. But really - what happened to Sprinkles? milstead IDK - you sound like soft NIN, and the last song is a mix of NIN with Starla. Maybe you are too much sound engineer, the songs are too much polished for me. You seem to be quite skillful, but the music doesn't excite me. You know, let's take isle - recording is lo-fi, but I can feel human beings there; your stuff appears to me as well-sculpted statue without feelings. I would not say it sucks, I only find somewhat soulless. johnny how long are your shows? the first song sounds like snorting into water the second song - metalworks? the third one - I don't even know. You should hook up with David Lynch teh!!!bolly I am production and sound engineering cave-man, so not much input there. The song didn't insult me, though. It actually reminds me of Corganist's (?) Rocket variation. deer canada's turn: deer canada - comes a time http://www.sendspace.com/file/23zuou deer canada - jedna dva tri http://www.sendspace.com/file/5d4qdz (this is a collage of about 18 different recent Netphorian songs. DeviousJ and Sleeper contributed probably as much as me. I don't expect a reaction on every piece, I am more interested if you find there something interesting or just say it's all bullshit. thanks. this thread is a reciprocity thing, right?

paul i think you've got a good approach to music in that you always try to do something different, but i think some of the songs are bit hit-and-miss. always interesting, nonetheless. "this is the woobs" is hilarious. "my heart bleeds for you" is evocative of a turtle head poking out. in a good way.

ah, what the heck. ok, i've got some tunes. although this stuff isn't really representative of my own music, i also write/play with my girlfriend so i guess we're a band. the song ideas are mostly hers but i seem to end up finishing most of them...i don't normally feel like there's a lot of room for my guitar in there, so no "izzle's groundbreaking riffs" present here really. i like what we do though, i think we sound a bit mellon collie-ish in a few places.
note: sound quality is pretty ropey 'cause we recorded live into an mp3 player. also, our drummer doesn't play drums. fire away. www.myspace.com/momerathsoxford |

lds you're pretty good. all i would say is that your songs could have a bit more of an edge to them- they're decent overall and you have a good voice but the songs seem quite...delicate? what they have in agility, they lack in power, so to speak...also, the vocal melody to dog days reminds me a lot of "the one i love" by rufus wainwright, if you know it. keep it up though.

Alright, first off. I listened to ChristHimselfs while I waited for the first 2 to download.
I stopped at "Brian, why do you curse my heart" I really like your music. I think I like the instrumental stuff better than the ones with words, however, I really like your voice, it just seems like the instrumental ones are better thought out musically. I really like your use of synth, and the spacey guitar tone is pretty cool. That's all I can think of right now, but I will defiantly be going back and listening to the rest of it. This is the kinda stuff I could go to sleep too (and that's a good thing). EDIT: I lied, listened to two more songs, liked them very much. FURTHER EDITING: Listened to the Loggerhead stuff, and I found it to be quite chill, and while I don't listen to ambient stuff like that too often, I thought it was good. (I didn't really listen all the way through, but I will later, I get the feeling it's something that maybe needs to be experienced from start to finish to get the total effect.) also listened to le joustra - goes to da maxx!, quite a lot of variety, and I enjoyed all the songs. I'm not just saying I like everything, you guys just all write cool music. also, listening to deer canada right now, very cool. I don't know about the spoken word thing, but the music is pretty cool.

i like this a lot. some of the tracks feel a little repetitive, but there's loads of great ideas in here. favourite stuff: that dissonant bell (?) motif in "drug ghosts"; all of "memory of a happy childhood"; latter half of "lazy journalist" (esp. the fuzz bass + guitar squalls) i couldn't get the individual song to download; sendspace free service exceeded or something |
