Bent never really did it for me, but Royksopp are quite nice to relax to, not really inspiring i thought, but... nice

Bent share a lot in common with Avalanches in their musical style but they seem to diverge into a slightly more chilled out vibe. I just love the track "Swollen", it is beautiful......oh look i am gushing again

Why didn't it do anything for you?

We haven't mentioned the king of the turntables Dj Krush, the man who over the course of 8+ albums has still managed to keep his air of cool

Zen is magnificent, it is also charming to see N'Dea Davenport formerly of The Brand New Heavies doing a track

@Georgi, I am into a load of the same bands as you (with exception to Embrace, Badly Drawn Boy and Belle & ****ing Sebastien...****s all)

Now now, no need for language like that

I'd have thought you would like B&S, they're the same kinda vibe as Gorky's IMO... And don't you bloody dare diss Embrace you accursed guttersnipe!!

Well actually I have come to accept that most people just don't see the gloriousness of Embrace, and I suppose that's their prerogative, but still... you're all fools!

anyway you might be interested in the packet from some bangers in France about a year ago

Why the theiving little...!

Yaaaayyyaaaaayyy!!! Supergrass rock my socks! OXFORD! OXFORD!

Supergrass rule

Really must get round to buying more of their stuff... but their damn albums are always like, £16 or something ridiculous

My cousin's mates with Danny Supergrass y'know

Elbow and The Hives are bollocks. Appaling wankers, dreadful men. They ought to get real jobs, the swines.

Elbow are fab

Did I actually say the Hives were good? I think I just mentioned them in the context of Swedish bands... I did find them amusing for about five minutes (and they were quite entertaining when they played on Jools Holland a while back), but the novelty has worn off

Yeah, everyone in Oxford knows Supergrass somehow or other...Though as a matter of fact their drummer used to live next door to my best friend of many years, so they were always around smoking funny smelling cigarettes when I was little...

Did I actually say the Hives were good?

No, and I therefore feel the need to say quickly and with authority that they are not. They are bad bad bad.

check out Handsome Boys Modelling School

One step ahead of you, sleep

. I've even got Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By...recomend it to Rob though, he likes avalanches

Bent

never heard of em. ?.

We haven't mentioned the king of the turntables Dj Krush

D...J...Kr-u-u-uush...! You liked Zen? I thought it was bollocks...I liked that purely tribal drum track (sonic traveler? or something? can't remember the title), but the rest was boring, and the samples were boring too, IMHO

.Have you heard his cold cuts series? it's the best stuff he's done, apart from that This Is Acid Jazz mularky...but I've only got that on MP3, never seen any records of it...CODE 4109 is his best solo album IMO...

I heard he did a live set wher he was actually pressing records on stage, and mixing with his own mixes of mixes of his own mixes...

The Gorillaz...I haven't heard any of their stuff, but I have (only since last week) been converted to Del Tha Funky Homosapien and Dan The Automator (the other two thirds of gorillaz). Their album '3030' is a work of genius. It's incredible...it's rap, but even if you don't like rap (as you can well imagine a fan of Gorky's and SFA wouldn't) it will expand your mind. It's the best hiphop album ever ever ever...*
Will buy as much of Del Tha Funky Homosapiens stuff as possible on monday...am hooked. Have listened to that record about 100 hours straight now...

You should get The Gorillaz Albums, I'd use to play them while SPAMming or at work

my coleagues are now as hooked as I do - We used to play it loud in my room nowadays

BTW I also love their Video Clip

That is what i heard too, i will probably pick it up in my next buying spree, i have some 200watt 6x9's to pick up for my car so i don't have the cash at the moment and then next stop after that is amp and sub

I heard he did a live set wher he was actually pressing records on stage, and mixing with his own mixes of mixes of his own mixes...

That is so cool. That is why he is the King!

You should have left it up at least for a few minutes for god's sake. If I wanted in the PST forum, I would have put it there!!

I did the best of both, you have a referrer for any SYM members, and those that don't browse SYM will pass by it in the P:T forum

@T' How true

And YOU, T'lainya, stay out of it, you would have deleted the whole thread if YOU had seen it first....

spammers. This thread's menna be about DK Krush.

i have some 200watt 6x9's to pick up for my car

how old are you sleep? I got the impression you were about 17...

anyway...yeah buy Code 4109, it's a hundred times better than zen

...and..LOL wait that reminds me of a bloke I read about who spent £10,000 on In-Car-Entertainment (ICE

) after playing GT2, in a car that only cost him 16,000...men eh?

Wouldn't you like to know....oh wait that is why you asked the question

I am 20 this year actually

Better in what way? Better beats, better raps, better vocals? They have a world event where everyone displays their ICE and the one with the best wins a prize of more ICE. The winner a few years back had so much sound that sitting in the car would have boiled his blood, so he had to use a remote to turn the stereo on from outside the car

Code 4109's got much better samples and melodies than Zen and Meiso, but it's not really that which makes it cool (well I guess it kind of is actually)..anyway, it's the vibe of the thing, man...[

]. It's got a really smokey jazz kind of a style, bit with really old-skool rap sampling and loads of crazy saxes, pipes and blues-ish piano...the beats aren't as complicated as his other stuff, but that's not really what we're here for is it?

ps, and if I am still failing to convince you, just think of this: It's got Japanese rapping on it...
