always some drama goin down round here

Interesting observation. I suppose given enough time and opportunity, people will find a reason to start fighting with each other. Someone asking for musical advice devolved into ethnic attacks. Seriously unfortunate displays of human nature going on in this thread.

Isn't just this thread, The org is just getting worst & worst...
I swear they should make you take an ethics test before joining
But then again, only 5% of people would probably pass it

EXACTLY!...this music is the stuff of dreams! - I haven't tried sleeping to N.E.W.S but i'll give it a try tonight

the scandalous sex suite is a great one to accompany you while you snooze too

3 of my favourite thing to do to music:

1)Sleeping
2)Fucking
3)Dancing

not necessarily in that order.

Gohi

I can't believe these are all improvised jams. The music is so organic, crisp, and groovy. How did Renato and Prince do so many guitar-keyboard unisons?

on a more serious note, i read something Wayne shorter said about making music,

he basically said that when he's really into it, he goes into a trance that is on the edge of sleep/on the edge of dreams...

he put it more eloquently than that, but it made a lot of sense to me...and N.E.W.S has that kind of a feel to me

i think it was on the liner notes to 'see no evil'

(also, i tried clicking on your soundclicksomethingorother.com link and it didn't work)

I've finally decided to add N.E.W.S to my collection. And it seems I am going to regret this dicision.
Half-way trough listening to the CD I got so impatient and bored by it, that I couldn't get myself to listen to the rest of it.
Is it going to get any better? I'd appreciate some advice from the music experts on this site. Am I missing something? :
Where did the vocals go on that CD? Did they go east, west, north or south? eek

If you don't like N.E.W.S you are probably best avoiding 'xpectation' too!

and the madhouse albums!

N.E.W.S was actually nominated for a grammy - something like 'best instrumental...'

i love it with a passion, the stuff of dreams for me, but i could understand if it wasn't to everyone's liking...but, it's not because it isn't any good, if you're bored by it, that's your perception, and for you, it probably isn't going to get any better!

for me, it COULDN'T be any better!

not to sound poncey, but, there's a long ostinato bit, then suddenly this bass note comes in, and it puts the whole tune in a different key....whenever i hear it, i throw my hands in the air and go: whaaa, howww, ehhhh, how'd he do thaaaa!


I love Xpectation and the Madhouse albums. I wish Xpectation had had a much wider release, because it was a real step forward after TRC. Ditto CNOTE.

SNOOZE/NOOSE was absolute boring bland crap. I was expecting sooooo much more than this pointless, formless, shapeless noodling.
There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently

(IMO) I "LOVE" the N.E.W.S cd. Some of Prince's music doesn't need words, he can just play & I am moved. biggrin
God doesn't just tells me how much he "LOVE's" me, God shows me how much he "LOVE's" me. Both telling and showing "LOVE" means to "LOVE". They go hand in hand. You can't have one with out the other. Something is spoken, then followed by an action. That is
