- ok, I can no longer handle 1.82GB of Paul Oakenfold. Sorry guys, he's
- just gonna have to be burnt to disc, and then I can handle specific
- requests. Get what you want now, he won't be up for much longer = (.
- On a brighter note, I uploaded a bitchin' hardcore trance album called
- Trance in your mind, and it's in the techno directory. Get it all, or
- if you don't want to do that, then just get Penguin, Bi Minis, Acid Vol.
- 3, and Turn up the Music. Great stuff. I may also upload this really
- hardcore weird stuff by french dj Manu le Malin. I recently obtained
- his 2 disc Biomechanik comp. I love it, really good where when you're

- Besides Quality Seconds (which wasn't a song), Sniv doesn't have a

- is a nice, almost ambient mix of songs. But, MoN is now my favorite

-
- I think that part of the song is awesome.. it makes it feel really out of
- control! Oh yeah I like "In Sides" the best by far (my favorite cd of all
- time in fact). Every song on it is brilliant. "Middle of Nowhere" is VERY
- close but the fact that I always skip Otono is a strike against it.

- Yes, I must also agree with Anthony here. The first time I heard Middle of
- Nowhere, I instantly noticed the complexity of "Spare Part Express." I think
- that it MUST be listened to on either a high quality system, or a really
- excellent pair of headphones.
-
- I know we've mentioned this before, but I can't emphasize it enough how
- important it is to listen to your albums on both speakers and headphones.
- You'll hear sounds on headphones you never even noticed before. For example,
- on "Spare Parts..." there's just SO MUCH going on in the song! I used that
- song to test my Sennheisers, and they more than passed the test :-)
-
- Oh, and that vocal sample towards the climax of the song KICKS ASS!

- First, let's make sure we are talking about the right part (again).
- It's introduced in 3:22 and played to 3:36 (2 times), and again at the
- 8:52 to 9:22 range (4 times). Not the sliding chord going up and down;
- I like that. It's the high octave whine that makes a few sour notes on
- the way. It's like somebody trying to play a riff on a flute for the
- first time and screwing it up. It may be a very small part of the song,
- but it makes me cringe every time I hear it.
-
- BTW, I don't get the "build up" somebody mentioned with the (only) vocal
- part in the song (7:52). It's not that great. The song has a nice drop
- off at 3:36, which Orbital seems to be good at, but there aren't that
- much in noticable build ups in that song. If you want build ups, listen
- to something like Chem Bros' Sunshine Underground (has 3 really good
- ones), or the slow build up and sudden tempo change of Lamb's Gorecki,
- or the creative vocal repetitions of Coldcut's Atomic Moog 2000
- (Cornelius Mix). The purpose of those type of tricks is to energize the
- listener and motivate him to dance (or at least tap his/her foot).
-
- I'll be including these songs for your listening pleasure, just in case
- you didn't have them:

- I must say i don't quite hear the dissonance! If at all just at this
- one second at 3:35 to 3:36! I agree they DO scale alot in that part,
- but from what i see this is more or less just plain scaling and not
- dissonant!..

-
- P.S.: I somehow feel we already had that discussion, right? <:-)
- P.P.S.: Yes, the song still really DOES loop in itself! ;-D
-
- Addendum.: LOOL! 8) I just read Anthony's mail! Funny how we
- independantly came to the EXACT same conclusion (scaling)! ;-D
