i was surprised not to see any comments about john b's album in:transit...
i have to say i was very surprised when i heard it...very different. i don't much care for electroclash, but i have to say he makes a pretty good case for it. and the bulk of the album was hard as hell! all in all, i liked it - definitely some great tracks.
anyway, i was wondering what the rest of you thought about it.
book my face.
Take Me Home - funny lyrics (screw me at night and screw me in the morning
im a sex addict like "me so horny") - good grooves. i wouldnt spin it, but i liek it
Vampire Eyes - BADASS those drums represent complete ownage. good bass. love it and would spin it.
Broken Language - retarded sick track. bass doesnt get phatter than that my friends, the vocals really contribute to the vibe on this one
Mercury Skies - good track, good drums, and enough depth to it to make you feel it
Faith In Me - not a bad track.. pretty good drums. this is one I *might* spin depending on my mood.
it's good.
One Way - more vocals adding to the track on this one. more drummy goodness. coming thru with the bass as well, once again.
All in all I gotta say "right the fuck on" to John B for this LP. IMO Vampire Eyes and Broken Language alone make this LP worth the buy.. they are just so fucking sick. Thanks for reminding me about this, Method.. I really need to pick up this LP soon
I'm Deftil aka Steve aka Liftedsteve | Me on Myspace.
yea! my thoughts exactly!
my favorite line in "take me home" is: "that's my bellybutton, genius". i laughed so hard i almost ran off the road when i heard that the first time...
i thought broken language was fucking awesome!!! hard, deep, complex...perfect.
i really like "rinse it out proppa" a LOT. gotta give it to him for pulling off a "bassline" that spans 3 octaves.
i was surprised when i didn't see any of the tracks off this album in the "track of the year" thread, but i hadn't heard a lot of the ones other people were nominating, so i decided to stay out of it b/c of my relative ignorance.
book my face.
were you referring to the mixed cd or the vinyl LP? I reviewed the vinyl LP above....
also there is a vinyl in:transit sampler with "Midnight Air" and "Amnesia" on it.
amnesia is bangin tuneage...

i really think peeps around here are sleeping on Mr. B......
Broken Language is just awesome. I could def see it as worthy of a track of the year nomination.....definitely
I'm Deftil aka Steve aka Liftedsteve | Me on Myspace.
i have the CD, and it has midnight air and amnesia on it...the guy @ the record store said they were the same.
book my face.

the only thing innovative imo is the electroclash...the harder shit sounds way generic. not to say that i like the electroclash anymore, im a bit tired of it..but nobody else is pushing it, and he seems to be evolving somewhat. I did like 2 of the tunes on there, from what i recall.

I like in:transit, not quite as much as brainstorm. About a year ago i was all about electroclash, and John B at cubik was great, but lately i'm kinda burnt out on electroclash.
wow, i'm glad i don't own 1200's for once. (not really)
book my face.
yea, i never liked electroclash from the getgo honestly. i thought it was a really crappy followup to trance, and i knew it was destined to be a short-lived fad (how much lasting appeal does "pump me full of cum" really have?). "innovations" that involve a reduction in complexity usually are short lived.
book my face.
i dont agree. there is definitely such a thing as too complex. Often when a form of music becomes overly complex and saturated, people have a tendency to look at more minimal approaches. Take the whole virus/ram/no uturn transition of the second half of the 90's. The whole amen thing pretty much burnt out people's ears, so in comes techstep, delivered subtly as opposed to complex. Same deal with neurofunk now, minimalistic and deep as a contrast to the bigbeat dancefloor stuff thats getting pumped out of England.
The vibe John B is pushing with his electroclash offers a new perspective to anything out there, may it be likeable or not. Its definitely getting a bit stale, unless he finds a way to make it into a totally new and different concept altogether. Be that as it may, he is still being somewhat innovative.
