dedicated drum n bass tracker :yup:
ever thought about torrentech?
Or possibly developing a taste for good music?
If you, like bijoy suggests, think really really hard about TorrentTech, you might get a DB9 of an idea.
No need to be ignorant. I bet the only "Drum n Bass" you have heard is the pots and pans, horrible screechy stuff. There is much more to it than that.Quote:

Probably not the case, the concept of good music changes internally as you age in the sense of what you subject your earholes to on a continuous basis for periods extending over years. Eventually, you learn what what is migraine inducing and what is great music.Quote:

I like good stuff made in 2011 just as much as my fathers recommendations from the 60's and 70's.
What I listen to where and when depends more on my mood at the time than anything else.
me no skylark
sounds like cricket now...
which man dem gonna depart a db9 inv!
ill swap it for teh luv in my heart teh smell of my fart n n apple pie pop tart.
anywayz wuteva if i want one that bad ill make an official request :P
I'm estimating you are in your early 20's, since teenage-ism results in the most fad/trend following and ultimately results in people listening to different genres' every year (I could be wrong though and I'm not having a go). but considering that most adults listen to music they have loved and listened to for years, often as early as their teens.Quote:

You either forget or never learned that great music is timeless. You make it sound like drum and bass is supposed to be complex. Don't get me wrong, they sometimes make good background noise for video tutorials and other visually weighted matters. But it's a bit silly to try to stack it up against other timeless music.Quote:

So in other words you are saying that because NippleCake obviously must like HipHop due to his avatar, he would force his music on others talking like a gangsta nigga from da hood?
Stereotype much?
Yes I do, but not quite in the way you were thinking. First, I believe NippleCake is white because of his name, and, well, black people don't know how to use the internet. Secondly, the commentary wasn't supposed to be from NippleCake in any way. If it were, it would have to be in some ironic sense given his mostly proper use of spelling/grammar, but to what entertaining end I can't possibly fathom at the moment. It was supposed to be a stereotypical ghetto-tongued contrast type to represent the intellectual level on which it can be evaluated against other music. Leave the deconstruction of the post to the author.Quote:

Good thing I only like Dubstep and Trip-Hop resembling those genres a little bit. Wouldn't want to be perceived as stupid. I might be a little weird at times though. Just warning you. But then again if there were no weird people there wouldn't be much to write about.
If I had committed to either joking or being serious, none of this would be all that confusing, it's my fault for loitering in the middle. Instead of explaining specifics, I'll just provide this cheat sheet to reexamine the posts yourself:Quote:

Sorry I completely forgot that there can only be one type of 'timeless' music. Youtube searching "drum and bass" doesn't classify you as immediately clued up on the genre, when you stop being so ignorant maybe I'll take your opinion a little more seriously. Also you further your ignorance and hypocrisy by relating dnb with drug use, when in fact most bands / artists that created your timeless music couldnt get enough drugs. funny how there are so many more drug-related deaths in the music you listen to as compared to the music I listen to. I suggest before you moronically attack something you learn a little about it first.
And I certainly don't see what my avatar has to do with anything, I chose it when I first signed up to this site, and never really gave it a 2nd thought. Don't worry you are doing well to make yourself look like a casual user with that hip MS Paint avatar, no one has clocked that you are a nerd. Also doing well on the racist comments, you must be one of those American's who hasn't got the faintest clue about the world they live in
You remind me of a certain dnb track. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50NMb2JkPHYQuote:

Cant workout if your racist, old or just got beef with, oops my bad, a grievance with Nipplecake.

No, not at all, I'm actually quite a bit older than that. I suppose the point I was making is that over the years I had many favourite genres of music, but as I got older it became less about which genre was best and more about appreciating different songs etc for their own merits.Quote:

If asked now what my 'favoutrite' was, I don't honestly think I could answer... I'd be more inclined to list several different artists, over a wide range, that I enjoyed listening to instead. As I've gotten older my tastes have widened/changed/whatever you'd prefer to call it, hence me asking if you felt that in 50 years you'd still be favouring one particular genre, or maybe become a bit more eclectic in your tastes. that was all :)
Oh you'll have to try a little harder to bait me. I know you're hiding more of that yummy somewhere over there, don't be stingy with your genitals.Quote:

Seeing trends come and go if nothing else at least gives you a certain perceptive.
Anyway I only post this since some people appear to be art lovers.Good luck on your request and I look forward to you cringing in future years when reminded what you use to listen to.:)
You take that one back. I love a great drumbeat, but I tend to desire a little more instrumental variety out of music, including my favorite one, the voice box.Quote:

Where did pepperoni pastry puff go? He was supposed to deliver his dissertation entitled:
"Why Drum and Bass Is Not Simply Syncopated High Tempo Drumbeats with Some Low Frequency Sounds: The Arduous Journey of Understanding a Really Complicated Musical Genre sans Youtube"
All I seem to know about it is that James Bond and friends stopped their evil genius plot to destroy the world. I was really looking forward to it.
I've really given dubstep more time that any other genre for my ear to be attuned to it, but I just have to say: It is utter shit. I've listed to everything the genre has to offer for a few weeks, from Calibre, to Skrillex (and I know the dispute against him being dubstep), to Mt. Eden, The Killabits, Adya & Geisha, Scrumdiddlyumptious Willy Wonka crap, so on and so forth. It is compositionally and climactically shit in ways I cannot even comprehend. The only ear the possibly listens to this crap, is the untrained ear which cannot discern between the artistic and the noisy. Let me explain:Quote:

Drums in the genre aren't used beyond a few fundamental ramps and beats, usually you can hear the same tones across different songs by the same artist for what I assume to be the sheer ease of remixing. Nothing ever exhibited by the genre is compositionally challenging beyond a first grade level in music school. There is no incorporation of systematic cymbals or drum ranges, just the same mono-tone over and over.
Pianos or piano samples are only used to come up with a jingle, which is then bastardized by "drops" and then phased in and out of the song a hundred times with different effects every time, as if by the same unwritten rule of 1990's computer screensavers. The piece never climaxes properly, leading people who do look for such things in more traditional percussion or stringed instrument pieces to wonder where the song was going in the first place. It makes for seeming complexity of math rock, but the auditory experience of running your head through a meat grinder. For any of this to be taken seriously, though, there has to be a theoretically sound systematic addition of electronic effects. You can't just throw a drop anywhere, or a high and low repetitively for minutes on end. There's no music theory at all in the genre which is why it sounds like the production value of a kid in his basement (which by every definition probably encompasses Skrillex) to a multi-million dollar endorsed, signed and contracted artist. Take the 8-bit era for examples (for great modern day artists of 8-bit music check out the demo scene, or my personal current favorite cTrix). The music was simple, due to constraints of the instruments obviously, and yet fairly complex pieces were made.
Finally, a unifying visual style. Disco had the hips. Moonwalking capitalized on the feet. R&B and Hip Hop love fist pumping. What the fuck am I supposed to do during dubstep? The robot? Go into a fit? Want better overall understanding of what I mean? Listen to Chopin, Rachmaninoff and Gershwin and then study the theory behind them. Better yet, spend some time growing an appreciation for Jazz then try to go back to Dubstep.

Like I said, I've given it months of play time on my system, and am yet to come out with anything remotely worth listening to. I'd still be willing to give it months more, if it means I even come out with one favorite "track".Quote:

Seven - Dark Passenger
Killa & Instinct - Haterz
Nero - Electron
2562 - Enforcers or Morvern
Chasing Shadows - Dream On
Laid Blak - Red (Chasing Shadows Remix)
Two Fingers - Bad Girl
Or for something so bad it's actually good Rusko - 2NAQ
Of you only want to try one then definitely
Chasing Shadows vs. Laid Black
Laid Blak - Red (Chasing Shadows Remix)
Or just give everything Chasing Shadows a try because they are by far the best in the genre.
Definitive proof that Marth Bings has way too much time on his hands.Quote:

Darth Rings, sorry but you've been listening to the wrong 'dubstep', and in fact your long post relates to the genre which has been bastardised by America and turned into a competition of who can make the "filthiest" drop. Try these 3 tracks, they don't have any 'drops' so to speak and hopefully you will find them different to that load of noise that is labelled as dubstep. A lot of these tracks are rich in sounds, that traditional guitar/drums/singer bands could not achieve. The second part of the 3rd track in particular, hits the spot for me! sounds gorgeous.

I still don't understand how some of you think you can judge something that you have hardly listened to. If real music to you is sweaty men hitting strings with a wank-shaped hand, then you can stick to it.
Also I should probably be inserting a sarcastic comment about an insult i've recieved here, to show how I hang on this forum but I'm actually way too cool to take anything seriously on here. I do this to try and show I'm a cut above the rest of the shitmunchers
I haven't heard a single Burial track I liked, that one included. Second track I would probably like better without the dubstep. Sounded quite Loungy but not. On the right track though.
The third track again quite fitting in Lounge genre but the dubstep in it actually really fits and it sounds great. Downloading now. Thanks :thumbsup: Do they have any other good stuff?
(this is of course for NippleCakes post.)
@hamurabi. Sounds like Reggae
Edit: Listened to Rendezvous (The other tracks on the single). How can anyone think that continuously playing one single annoying synthesizer tone for 1 minute and 25 seconds together with the starting buildup as good. I bet they stole the second track, because the first one was lost on me after the 30 second mark.
You said they were rich in sounds, but by the time I played them, someone seemed to have completely emptied out the accounts. You should have an embezzlement investigation conducted right away.Quote:
