Genevieve wrote:The release of 'Badman VIP' was so anti-climactic. For fans, which I am first and foremost anyway, that whole dub mindset takes away quite a lot of enjoyment out of the music. To me anyway. By the time you can hear the whole thing without another tune or a DJ over it, the exciement was slowly drained from it.
because it was an average tune.
i thought it was a banger on headphones (when it got pulled out on radio/podcasts), then saw KM one night and they droppped it and it massively underwhelming.
Don't think it was an average tune at all.
It got worn out a bit near the end of its life as a 'dub' but that was when it had been floating around for a year or so and people had rinsed the cuts to death & was starting to become a bit of a formality of any Yunx/KM set (saw Yunx a few times when he looked bored as shit wheeling it up).
Nearer the beginning when it had just popped up though it was the 140 tune for a bit. head + shoulders above anything else Yunx/KM were playing in terms of crowd reaction alone + provided probably the biggest reaction i've ever seen to a tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcZ1ic9zOMs
Dubkasm - Victory is a good example of how to use a dub well. Only 2 selectors had it, kept it off radio entirely until it was about to drop & didn't draw it out for 4/5 years until everyone was bored of it. Then when it was released it pretty much shut down RWDFWD

ugh no, fuck that, really dislike this, I like Percy but everybody plays it, or a remix, or a vip
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz boring
and Nev underwhelming live? I had the opposite reaction
also dubs are for live sets imho + "but I'm not gonna sweat over hearing it, its just a nice extra"

Yeah agreed on the zillion Percy refixes, the first 1 or 2 were decent but now i'd rather just hear Fierce

Haha that System video.
Percy was more an example of how you can go see someone and think right up to the point the tune comes in that "oh shit this is XZY" and then BAM its some crazy remix or whatever.
I remember the reaction to the Dread VIP being abit same with The Big Bang

At the first system where Vivek mixed lean forward into big bang then pulled it up and played the big bang VIP.
That was probably the best usage of a dub I've ever seen, properly merked it!!

who said anything about modern day vets? most homeless veterans are older, and fought in wars we weren't even alive for. a modern day vet has a home because the military still has use for him.

i realize this, its more the korean, vietnam and other vets. regardless of what war they fought in, do they deserve to die for trying to make some sort of change (getting mentally fucked up in the process), then having their people turn their backs on them when they're no longer "needed"?
