snowboard_freak 0 Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 G'Day, I thought it would be interesting to start a thread with the last album you got and maybe even write a short little review about it. Here's mine: Artist - Hed (pe) Album - Blackout This is their latest album and is a mixed bag. It's not the same as their earlier albums which i think is a bit of a shame, as i really enjoyed their last two albums because they have a very unique sound. It is a good album however. There are a couple of tracks that still have the roots of their earlier stuff which is good. Then some are a bit more rock sounding than the earlier songs. Less rappy. Then again some of the songs are quiet soft and chilled out. In short, a good album, mixed up, but not the same as their earlier albums. Anyone else care to add their reviews?

snowboard_freak 0 Posted April 19, 2003 Author Share Posted April 19, 2003 BM it did cross my mind to stick that in the subject as well but decided not too. Don't what my reasoning for that was though. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Thievery Corporation - The Mirror Conspiracy and other tracks. How appropriate that name, as I didn't buy the album, I stole it using Kazaa Lite. (Record companies take note: I wouldn't mind paying, if I could download the tracks I like. But CDs or even vinyl? Sorry, I've got no use for them... Last CD I bought was maybe Morning Glory by Oasis) Review? It's good, as is all their music. Cool lounge atmosphere, sweet melodies and beats, a mix of latin, indian, middle eastern, and dub. Most of the artists on their label are worth a listen. Link to post Share on other sites
zwelgen 0 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 IM thinking VERY hard about when i last bought a CD uunggggh aahhmmmm... Ok last CD I aquired was Love Box by Groove Armada and like ever GM album the first listen is a blase "oh yeah" and then after a few times you just cant take it out of the player. Nice mix of stuff some rocking, some lower mood stuff. Highly recommended if you liked hello nightclub goodbye country and a big arigato to Ender0 for the pressie. Link to post Share on other sites
amandanism 0 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 thinking of buying silverchair - diorama. love alot of the songs. can anyone give me a brief review of some sort? Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Len in 2000 I think. I copy everything Im a bad boy. Why buy when you can rent or download. Link to post Share on other sites
iwatehead 0 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Why? Possible reasons >>--- - feeling bad about downloading for free ("stealing"?) and not paying for the product? - and wanting to support favorite artist - wanting to have the original product (case, booklet, etc) Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Record companies have been stealing from us and artists for years. you cant make me feel bad with that. I really dont download much music I just borrow from friends. Link to post Share on other sites
iwatehead 0 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 I wasn't accusing you of anything. You just asked "Why buy when you can rent or download" and I suggested reasons. Apart from the debatable issue on record companies "stealing" from us for years....if someone steals from you, does it make it then ok to in return steal from them?? Link to post Share on other sites
Goemon 0 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 I bought DJ Yoda's "How to Cut & Paste Vol 1" yesterday to go along with Vol 2 (which I bought 2 weeks ago). Good fat beats with some funny skits in between and fine-crafted scratching. Unsolicited comments on everyone else's purchases: 1. powwwers: any Bouncing Souls on that punkorama mix? 2. Ocean11: I think TC's latest album "Richest Man in Babylon" is even better than "Mirror Conspiracy". I highly recommend you pick it up/pull it down. 3. Zwelgen: How do you like that Red Rat tune on there? That was the only one that kept me re-playing the disc originally 'cause it was so bu-bu-bouncy. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Goemon, the 'other tracks' I mentioned are from Richest Man. Have you tried the other artists on this link? http://www.eslmusic.com/artists/artists.html Nicola Conte is good. Stolen lots of him too. iwatehead, do you believe in those reasons, or are you just presenting them as possibilities? Personally, I don't need 'the original product' and if I did, that too could be distributed over the Net. As for the rest, if they presented products that suited me better, then I'd be more inclined to pay for them. That's why I wasn't buying albums anymore anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
iwatehead 0 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Ocean11 I understand both sides of the coin on this one, so don't strongly believe in the points I brought up. I was just presenting them as possible reasons. Just for the fun of the discussion, here's another one.... When you say that "if they presented products that suited me better, you'd be more inclined to pay for them" - how does that reasoning hold up if you are downloading some parts of an artists work etc? Usually don't we either want and buy a product, or decide not to buy because it doesn't suit us? With many products we can't just buy the bits we like (ie the middle creamy part of a creme egg but not the chocolate!). It is just that the internet has made it possible to do this in this case. But the fact that we can do it doesn't make it right. Aren't we still effectively "stealing" (in some peoples opinions), whether we steal a bit or a lot? Again, I've not completely made my mind up on the whole issue myself, so I'm not doing any bashing here just bringing up a few ideas!! Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 If I could listen to all the tracks for a limited period, and then pay for the ones I want to keep... ... then they wouldn't make the crap ones that I don't like anymore! Link to post Share on other sites
iwatehead 0 Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 ...but in the meantime that's not the case... Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 ... so I'm borrowing them for the time being. I see it as transitional period anyway. My current way of doing business couldn't have worked 5 years ago... Link to post Share on other sites
