Lets talk about music!

[theinfamousbob]

I'm using ModPlug Tracker and some random samples from the internet. There's a better setup in my basement (read: huge MIDI setup), but we only just got the audio interface and I haven't learned Digital Performer yet, but it's not much of a transition from Studio Vision.

I did a Mortal Kombat remix on it a while ago, hopefully it'll convert so I can import it.

 

[HiTech]

for me bands like:

Uriah Heep
Deep Purple
Black Sabbath
Yes
Genesis
ELP
Pink Floyd
Led Zepplin

This man speaks my language!!
And when he states Genesis, I'm sure he's referring to the days of Peter Gabriel, not when they went Top40 with Phil Collins! Oh and then there's Judas Priest, VanHalen, Triumvirat, and The Who.

And when he states Genesis, I'm sure he's referring to the days of Peter Gabriel.

You mean they didn't finish when Gabriel left?

"It's one o'clock and time for lunch - pom, de, pom, de, pom!!"
"As the sun beats down, and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk"
"Me, I'm just a lawnmower, you can tell me by the way I walk"

Great song!!!.

 

[Dr.EM]

The Prodigy
Massive Attack
Jamiroquai

Blues, like rap, is too much "same old, same old" for me, and jazz is guys searching for they know not what.

Beats searching for something you know. I don't know why I insist on swimming against the stream, but I'm taking the high road by suggesting that maybe the haters on rap, blues, and jazz just haven't had a chance to listen to the best of what those genres have to offer yet.

Hentai ought to check out some Steve Reich - I recommend Music for Eighteen Musicians.

For rap/hip-hop, I like Chuck D, Beastie Boys, RATM (don't know where they fit), and pretty much anyone from the first few years of Def Jam. And NWA.

For jazz, I like John Coltrane, Miles Davis, The Gerry Mulligan Quartet, Jim Hall, Ed Bickert, Maynard Ferguson, J.J. Johnson, Jack Teagarden, Dina Washington, Mel Torme, and Ella Fitzgerald.

For blues, I like Albert King, Steve Cropper (and Otis Redding - any old-school Stax, although that's more R&B and Soul than Blues. Name a Stax tune between 1960 and 1970, and I've probably transcribed it), and Johnny Winter.

For rock, I like Queen (

'Welcome to the machine' by Pink Floyd WITH headphone , Come on does it get any better?

check out "The Prophet Song," definitely a contender), Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton (prefer Cream days), Aerosmith, AC/DC, and Pink Floyd.

Newer stuff: Radiohead, Tower of Power (old band, I know, but they're still touring! Any of the old records with Lenny Pickett are killer), James Brown (I know he died, but I gotta mention him somewhere!), Sublime, any band/musician where their musicianship trumps any spin MTV-bands could produce.

Old, old school and outside-the-box: Conlon Nancarrow, Milton Babbit, Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Debussy, Bruckner, Brahms, Beethoven, J.S. Bach.

Bluegrass: Ricky Skaggs, and that weird kid from Deliverence.

I have no clue whether you're being ironic or not. You're kidding around, right? Either that or Vangelis has done something I haven't heard yet. What do I know? I'm continuously blown away by what people like. So how sincere are you being?

 

[dknguyen]

I like Hello!Project. BUt all my friends strongly disagree.

 

[Souper man]

I hardly ever listen to music. I usually spend my spare time designing robot ideas that will probably never hit concept, sleeping, playing with my dog reggie, or playing video games. I guess I dont really listen to music much is because I dont really like any of the genres out there, but one thing is sure: I HATE RAP

How much Vangelis have you heard? Most people only know Chariots of Fire, and in my opinion that's a bit wanky.

Ever watch Carl Sagan's "Cosmos?" The opening is Vangelis.

Video with the music (but not the opening):

Look up the schematics for the Yamaha CS-80. They're actually beautiful. An art of analog design, complete with simple memory (presets that could be adjusted with pots on the inside.)

 

[hentai]

I found an PC software simulating the Yamaha CS-80, very nice. Personally i love Vangelis. One of my fav albums are City and Blade Runner. As songs i like Fields of Coral, 12 O'clock, I cant take it anymore, Albedo 0.39 and the list can continue.
