To be fair, I just bought Severant by Kuedo and listening to it right now... i'm sort of thinking the same thing. Obviously not me, but anyone with a basic understanding of music theory and synthesis should be able to pull it off technically.

No matter what they've done otherwise I forgive 16 Bit because they made this gem.



On another note...god I love Joanna Newsom :U:

Maybe anyone can do it.

Important point is that they didn't.

Ah, you've misunderstood (can see why tbh). I like some of the dub police stuff, but this sounds like a shit attempt to replicate some of the more mediocre releases.

>implying we collectively form a singular opinion on anything


i thought it was a pile of shit. it sounds like what it is, jr. gong on a typical skrillex, and skrillex trying to sound a little extra jamaican on a typical skrillex rave face melter. The drums are inorganic and shit, and the screeches were obligatory rave fodder. Effectively destroying any hint of an element of an authentic dub sound

Nor does it make it good.

Because everyone has called the tune innovative... Not. If a guy makes a 4x4 house tune, you gonna rip him apart because it's not innovative to make the basic drum pattern K-HH-K/S-HH?

Yeah exactly, and it's obvious it was done on purpose (i assume by listening to Jamie Vex'd's other stuff which is flawless) but releases that aren't technically sound, intentionally or not, should have heart and emotion. Severant has that.

^^YES!

Some of their tear-out is good too though.





They make some tunes that I don't prefer, but I think they're fucking all-stars. Creative, tight productions, versatile, and they have a sense of humor (chainsaw calligraphy is jokes).

I hope you're not implying the pre-Kuedo tunes didn't have that :?

So not only are Skrillex's productions (who were in fact, literally thrown together out of presets/pieces created by Noisia and possibly Excision, not that it matters, all three of them suck at any possible rate to these ears) considered top notch and ground breaking, one of the (self-declared) biggest and most 'insightful' music magazines, SPIN has decided, out of the fucking blue, to name him the 100th best Guitar player of all time, on an already bizarre list, this was the frosting on the cake.

And yes, I've managed to type this whilst maintaining a straight face for I already knew the world is full of utter madness and waste. Put man in bin.
