Spiderworks - Shiver - 13-Oct-07 02:45 PM
Most people that know of Spiderworks tend to mention this CD. Why? This IS their best one! This is psychedic stoner rock at it's best. Lots of trippy effects like echo on the drums and reversed stuff. The best way to discribe this is imagine the song "Three Days" from Jane's Addiction and then make a whole album like that song. Long epic emotional opera like journeys, except for "Invisible Chains" which is the hardest track on the CD.
The first 3 tracks are most popular and most tend to remember "Whirlpool" for the "I love to get you high" lyrics (perfect for you guys with a stoner girlfriend!). Things get REALLLY spacey on "Cherry Blossom" and "Touch" ends off the journey nicely. "Touch" actually sounds very close to "Shiver" giving you that reprise feel.
Grab your space helmet, fire up a fatty and enjoy the ride.
Tea Party, The - Splendor Solis - 13-Oct-07 02:28 PM
Of any of the CDs they've released, this is the one to check out! Although they ventured into different themes with each CD going from arabic/indian sounds to really hard rock, this was a journey into the soul.
Lovers of the band The Doors should check this release out. Strangely enough, the singer looks & sounds like Jim Morrison. Splendor Solis picks up were The Doors left off. Things are just as experimental but getting just a bit harder than The Doors and at the same time getting more melodious. If you lost yourself in Morrisons haunting vocals and emotions, there's a good chance you'll lose yourself in this.
Still one of my favorite CDs ever and I have a Canadian to thank for sending it to me.
DJ Jason Patrick* - I'll Take You There - 07-Sep-07 03:52 PM
Haven't heard the original "Uncontrollable" but the '99 remix is a great emotional track. It builds up with some pulsating beats and a sweeping soundscape, then releases into the breakdown. The breakdown itself is filled with bird sounds and gets drifty untill...Pow...Breakbeats start booming. Eventually it goes back into a 4/4 kick with sweeping sounds with just enough beats for you to mix out of.
The real winner on this though is "My Definition"! Starts of a house kick for a wee bit but then goes into this mean ass breakdown. It gets so breaky that it could be compared to Aphex Twin or Squarepusher stuff and almost pushes into jungle. Samples at this point go like this:
Girl - "Can I ask what you were doing?"
Guy - "Mixing & trying some new stuff"
Girl - "Like what?"
Guy - "It's kinda hard to explain, why do you want to hear something?"
Eventually it goes back into a short breaky 4/4 kick for the ending. A really great trippy track and excellent sample from such a classic (but slightly cheesy) movie.
Simon - Two Crates - 26-Aug-07 08:03 AM
From what I remember reading about this release goes something like this...
Simon was pressed for time during production of the original and only got in 4 takes on it and always felt that the original was too bass heavy. Due to his lightened schedule (and a little more money) was able to press it the way he felt it should have always been.
For me, i'll take that bass heavy original! YUMMY! Oh well, good way to go if you can't afford an original copy of this classic. But buyers beware! Some are selling these off as originals!
East Coast Boogiemen - Marrying Janie - 16-Aug-06 10:02 AM
Yes it does contain samples from Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust", but the fun part about this record is that...the sample is backward! And for those who don't know that's "start to smoke marijuana"!
(pause for a second to let everyone rush out & dust off their old Queen albums)
The original mix is were it's at. The bassline off the original Queen track gets up updated with some phat moog and tweaks up & down and here & there. Weird pink-plonk type sounds and a subliminal tech-house vibe equals out to be a huge headtrip. Excellent track for a 4a.m. set.
The remix gets a funky filtered house overhaul and makes for an awesome peaktime track. The only bad thing about this mix is that the "Another One Bites The Dust" sample is only played normally.
HIGHly recommeded for all you spliff heads out there!
