hello hello
Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson, Blackfield discussion thread in here.
Best songs? Personal favorite album? What does mew think of this/these musician(s)?
>>64034363
Porcupine Tree is my favorite band.
Best songs:
Arriving somewhere but not here
Lips of ashes
Russia on ice
Don't hate me
The sky moves sideways
Sleep of no dreaming
The Watchmaker (SW track)
Best album:
In Absentia
>>64034485
As poppy as it is, 'Trains' is my go to for down days.
As far as albums, Blackfield I is my favorite. I saw Steven and Aviv in seattle like 4 years ago, really intimate chill crowd. I probably ruined it because I was underageb&... Great time though.
PT was my favourite band for years. I mean, they still are probably, it's just I don't listen to them so much because no new material.
Fav songs: TSMS 1, Arriving Somewhere, Anesthetize, Russia on Ice, Hatesong, Even Less, Buying New Soul, Drown with Me, Chloroform, Trains, Stop Swimming, Lightbulb Sun, What Happens Now, Don't Hate Me...
I like SW's solo stuff but not quite in the obsessive way I loved PT back in the day. Probably the most important band getting me into music, I can trace my taste for pop rock, prog, ambient and psychedlia all...

Are turntables instruments?
Turntablism is the art of manipulating sounds and creating music using turntables and a DJ mixer.
John Oswald described the art: "A phonograph in the hands of a 'hiphop/scratch' artist who plays a record like an electronic washboard with a phonographic needle as a plectrum, produces sounds which are unique and not reproduced—the record player becomes a musical instrument."
Modern day turntablism is the closest hip hop music gets to art music.
Turntablism repertoire has written notation, creating a musical part or score for their compositions and pieces. Great examples are DJ Yoda & Heritage Orchestras Concerto, Martin Tetreaults musique concrete for turntables, Kid Koalas Your Moms Favorite DJ, eriKm and DJ Spookys Ice Music works.
Of course, the history of the turntable being used as a musical instrument though has its roots dating back to the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s when musique concrète and other experimental composers (such as John Cage, Halim El-Dabh, and Pierre Schaeffer), used them in a manner similar to that of today's producers and DJs, by essentially sampling and creating music that was entirely produced by the turntable. Cage's Imaginary Landscape No. 1 (1939) is composed for two variable speed turntables, frequency recordings, muted piano and cymbal. Even earlier, Edgard Varèse experimented with turntables in 1930, though he never formally produced any works using them.
This school of thought and practice is directly linked to the current definition of hlp hop-related turntablism, though it has had an influence on modern experimental sound artists and composers such as Christian Marclay, Kid Koala, Otomo Yoshihide, Philip Jeck, DJ QBert and Janek Schaefer. These artists are the direct descendants of people such as John Cage and Pierre Schaeffer and are often credited as a variant to the modern turntablist DJ and producer.

..............so yes?
>>64034336
No, Patrick, turntables are not an instrument.
/mu/ would become a better place if we banned anyone who does the following:
>changes their opinion of an album following a critic's review
>makes fun of people's taste when they aren't as interested in music
>lets /mu/ change their opinion of a band/album
>believes listening to albums in full is the only way to go
>genuinely care about tripfags
>makes fun of Reddit to fit...

I slightly disagree about tripfags, once you see someone that's like "Wow this person likes a lot of the same shit as me" and you can identify him now, you grow fond of them.
>>64034347
I mean berating one for even posting with a name
Huh, usually posts that start with "/mu/ would become a better place if we banned anyone who does the following" are cringeworthy faggotry but not this. I agree, OP.
>best songs on an album
i'll start with an easy one with pic related:
sing about me im dying of thirst
>swimming pools, sing about me, backseat freestyle
best GKMC songs IMO
>>64034234
I love that song but it's too depressing to listen to it even semi-frequently
Slick is the best song on this album
Great talent or just eye candy?
>>64034233
this is the guy from lightning bolt right?
His solo stuff under the name Black Pus is pretty good. He's defiantly a talented drummer. Not breathtaking or anything but he's got skills.
that's quite a picture

I keep trying to update my topsters top 50 but it keeps sperging out on me
>>64034416
yeah, it's been fucked up for a while
Is he right, /mu/?
No I don't think so. I would say I am more into music than others (not the way /mu/ is), and I can still respect others opinions and not look down on them for what they listen to
permute movies, literature and music in any order and it still makes sense
this guy has just been btfo too many times regarding music
every kind of judgment like this is an expression of personal pain
>>64034086
yes. Most people don't know I'm into music besides my friends

Jesus H. Christ this is an uneventful, boring album. I mean, for background music while playing videogames, yeah, it's alright, but there's a ton of better stuff out there for that purpose. Namely, just about anything with guitars in it. The video for "Frontier Psychiatrist" is entertaining, though, even if the song isn't. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, or really used to guitar-driven music, but I just can't get into this group. This shit is way overrated.
great, it's a fucking meme now. i hope you realize what you've done
Your meme is a normal type attack to my Ghost conscience
i'm not old fashioned and i hate guitar music
but i agree that it's boring as shit
