Re: Soft Cell & Pet Shop Boys

It's pretty good. The Always on my mind style synth stabs are....interesting. They make the track sound very old school, but also somewhat cheesy.

Unfortunately, these days Mike Stock is a rightwing conspiracy nut.

Re: Musik - Cabaret and EP

You're right. I don't know the concept. I am judging the music and it sounds terrible. You are doing the equivalent of judging a comedy as a drama. It's a pointless exercise that makes you look silly. That's ridiculous. Music should be able to be judged on its own merit, especially when said music ...

Re: Today I listened to Elysium for the first time since 2012...

Breathing space is one of their best ever. At the time of release I was going through some difficult times/major life crossroads decisions and it really resonated with me as a result and helped a lot. Beautiful, evocative song.

Re: Musik - Cabaret and EP

Absolutely no need to spend tonnes of money. Just a little effort really. Or alternatively reel in some young producer who's dying to work with a couple of synth-pop legends for a dime. Sounds like you have no idea what the Edinburgh Fringe is, nor the context of the one-woman show itself. The song...

Re: Musik - Cabaret and EP

Erm... just FYI there is no such thing as 'general midi drum sounds'. General Midi only defines the name of the sound, not the actual sound itself, which could be anything. I am referring to two things: One is the rhythmic patterns, which sounds like those found on "arranger keyboards" in...

OK, I didn't even discover this until today. Shows you how much out of the loop I am. Anyway, a mini-rant coming on: The production on this is PISS-POOR. This is arguably the worst production I have heard on any "proper" release by any artist in decades. Frankly, maybe ever. And this is c...
