[buzzboy]

this cd is like a polar opposite of the High contrast cd...very dark and sinister . came with a bonus cd.

i miss the old Dylan.....

[darkenetiks]

i miss the old dylan and the old tech itch.

[buzzboy]

but the cd is still great.

change is inevitable fellas....things get better with age....but we dont have to forget where they started.

[darkenetiks]

nooooooooooooooo no no no no NO my friend.


organized noise is NOT better than well composed music. you need to get your hands on tech itch's "diagnostics" CD and then tell me that what's on the one you feature here is better.

he was YEARS ahead of the game in 99 when he put that album out. people are just not starting to catch up.

[buzzboy]

"to each his own"

besides i mainly mean the first cd....which is a collectin of good tracks. cd2 is a lil leaning towards heavy metal....i still like it.

lemme get my hads on that disk im sure it is better. most of the original stuff is the best....gets watered down as it goes. i still have respekt for this disc and the two as artists and musical madmen.

bottom line: IM NOT GONNA LET YOU GUYS BRING ME DOWN FROM MY AUDIO HIGH!

Bah, don't agree w/ that at all....especially in this case. If anything, age has left Dylan and Tech Itch w/ about a fraction of the orginality they had 5-7 years ago. It seems like most everything they put out now is both an excercise in testing the limits of distortion (w/ mixed results), and gimicky darkness (anybody can take some gloom and doom sample from a sci-fi film, turn up the bass and call it "dark", but truly dark tunes go much deeper than that).

What irks me most is that I KNOW they can make better tunes. These are guy's whose tunes made me wanna shit myself back in the day. Now, I'd rather shit myself than spend money on their records. I know that there's not going to be another "Reborn", "Crystal" or "Dominion"...but they shit they make now seem like giant steps backwards from all that. I mean, the whole point is to be constantly improving, innit?

[buzzboy]

well ...not to compare them to mainstream musicians...but in the beginning records are made for the sake of making good music and pushing your sound, but once you build a name for yourself ..people are buying your name, not your sound.

it starts in the club, as long as there are kids dancing to shit tunes , producers will continue to produce shit.

[buzzboy]

and i will say, that upon further listening to this cd im not as impressed with it, i barely had it 20 hours.

i was innitially floored to see something new by tech itch.

[RickyRicardo]

t starts in the club, as long as there are kids dancing to shit tunes , producers will continue to produce shit.

That's like the argument "as long as the public keeps watching reality shows, then they'll always be around". The inherent fallacy in that argument is that the public does not wholly shape the content that is being fed to them, and therefore accepts the crap that is being shoveled to them b/c there are no other alternatives

Same w/ this. The crowd isn't in there w/ the producers while they are making the tunes. It's not a 2-way process....and if all producers suddenly start making shit music, people will still dance, not because they like shit music, but b/c there aren't any other alternatives. Other sounds effectively get buried under a mountain of agents, shady distributors, and other factors that bring you the same 5 DJ's week after week playing the same 5 shitty tunes.

People will dance, regardless.....but the burden isn't on the crowd to change what the producers do. It's their responsibility to improve *themselves*

I fuckn LOVE this cd, it is permanent in the car! I didnt find not one single trak that wasnt totally sick! I agree with you 100% Buzzboy!!!! We also own the vinyl collection tech freaks....disasterous!

5. MP3 WMA Cause 4 Concern - "Mind Killer"
6. MP3 WMA Technical Itch - "Hunterseeker"
7. MP3 WMA Loxy & BKey - "Battlescars"
9. MP3 WMA Kryptic Minds & Leon Switch - "Primary Objective"

Those are my favorite 4 off the album. they rock

i think not only do musicians change and progress over time, but sometimes they are just aiming for a certain sound that they can attain that they believe there is a niche for in the market.
I imagine both tech itech and dylan could make "tracks like they used to" and that they may even possibly be doing it but they aren't getting released b/c this harder, heavier shit is their current direction, and what a lot of the Dnb community comes to expect from them at this point.
