The Future of Music Hangs In the Balance.


"Before the Music Dies" is a documentary Narrated by Forest Whitaker that lays out a comprehensive and cautionary story about the deteriorating state of the music business.

The film contains interviews with music heavyweights such as Erykah Badu, Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, and Branford Marsalis. The web site has tons of information including videos, trailers, screening information and ways you can get involved.

Of course a film such as this is expected to have a great soundtrack , and it doesn’t fail to deliver. It contains a ton of great music including tracks that have been previously unreleased.

This movie is a MUST SEE for anyone who is a musician and anyone who cares about the decline of the quality of music. Buy the DVD NOW.

“the most important film a music fan will ever see” (XM Radio)

“a balanced overview of the state of the rock scene of America” (The Wall Street Journal)

“passion to the eternal debate about the industry” (The New York Times)

“A great film… completely mind-blowing” (PureMusic.com)

Interesting!

Looks VERY interesting. I KNOW lastdecember is gonna get it.

I LOVED what Erykah said at the end. We can say the same about 2007 and 2008 too.

Check this out...



Wow

It aired on IFC months ago, VERY good watch

I really sick and tired of that f***ing Autotunes software. THAT is the studio trickery responsible for the success of Ashlee Simpson, T-Pain, and anyone else that can't sing OR rap worth a damn.

I have a feeling this is not a good Kanye stocking stuffer.

I posted the whole documentary on the org awhile ago



but ya'll ignored it

This dude posted it and I wasn't a member?

What did you do? Destroy it?

Anyway, I doubt it's at any of the stores in my area.

Maybe my brother got a burned DVD. Fuck buying it if I can't find it, yes I said it, the internet's not taking my money, bitch!

This film would have been better 10 years ago when this was the way of the world, and people were making money left and right. Now that the industry is losing money and everyone good and bad is getting dropped by their labels, now people are worried and making movies like this. Good concept but a decade too late.

I know people hated what acts like Milli Vanilli and CC music factory,or Black Box did, by putting forward a good looking singer(s) behind catchy songs that were easy hits, but thats all thats happening now, just alot more now. The clip clearly illustrates HOW easy it is, it also shows WHY almost no singer can perform live, with all those things in the studio to jack them up like pro tools and audiotone etc...

Im hoping (though i doubt) that this film addresses how DIGITAL is killing music more than the pretty face on a singer. The compression of what gets recorded in a studio and then compressed to digital for cd, then compressed to "files" etc...in this mix what is getting lost is what the recording sounds like. If you dont believe this then check into T Bone Burnett's new sound recording called CODE, he clearly shows the difference and what you lose in digital.

i kinda like that mama's not home song

PricelessHo said:

Well be prepared because one of those "Hills" chicks is gonna have a record this year and im sure there will be plenty of "well crafted catchy" songs, and audio enhancement going on

Same here regarding Doyle. I'm a big fan now but I still haven't seen the full documentary! Didn't know it aired on IFC. Wonder if Nextflix or Amazon have it.

TBF in retrospect, Rob & Fab, C+C, & Black Box had better music in the very early 1990's that I still listen to. And it better than most of the bullshine that's being promoting in the tail end of the 2000's.

I watched this in school for one of my classes, the opening of the film is this.

TonyVanDam said:

True but theres alot of things that i cant forgive Clivilles and Cole for, they were behind ALOT of these things in the late 80's early 90's, they were also builders and destroyers of Fresstyle by trying to take it and merge in with hip hop.

lastdecember said:

1. The way C+C took the vocals of Marsha Walsh for granted within one song for C+C Music Factory and most of one and only career album of Seduction is well documented. And yes, Marsha did sue and C+C had to settle the matter out of court.

2. As for the genre Latin Freestyle, it was already a shoot-off of electro (the original classic hip-hop sound) when it got the inspiration from Afrika Bambaataa & the Soulsonic Force's Planet Rock. The Planet Rock beats were the foundation of the New York freestyle sound.

The genre's very name came from Pretty Tony's side-project Freestyle, a group that were already the forerunners (along with Debbie Deb & Trinere) of the Miami freestyle sound.

But they were trying to take groups like Lisa Lisa and the Cover Girls and others and make them "hard", they incorporated "rap" into alot of what was going on in the genre, and for the most part they were two seperate worlds and really should have stayed seperate, this is why the "remix" of the early-mid 90's were the law of the land, the puffys and missys etc...or as i call it, the destruction of RB.

It's cool watching Wendy & Lisa on stage with Eric Clapton.

lastdecember said:

I didn't mind both genre being mix. As least hip-house & new jack swing came about within the process.

My bigger beef was when some urban producers & beatmakers alike started to slow down the tempo in an attempt to copy the winning formula of Dr.Dre/DJ Quik/Warren G and their genre G-Funk. And those very things that work so well for West Coast hip-hop was a death for latin freestyle, hip-house, new jack swing, and everything else that used to be faster than mid-tempo.

Exactly. I didn't mind house music having a rapper in it because the drum machines still were hard and the music was still funky and danceable. The midtempo shit is what ruined music and don't forget the type of drum machines the shit hopppers used. Drum machines are fine if they sound good and pound hard but those shit hop drum machines sound weak and cheap sounding like $20 Casio keyboards from Walmart.
