Guest kingdok Posted March 28, 2002 Posted March 28, 2002 I'm sorry, but the Frankie Goes To Hollywood remix on Joujouka's new album is just...stupid. "Relax don't do it When you want to go to it Relax don't do it When you want to come..." Did someone request this? Is this Mr. Suzuki's idea of humorous nostalgia, like when a trance artist decides to insert a random Pulp Fiction sample into an otherwise fine track? Are we witnessing the beginning of an 80's renaissance? Good God, what IS this? I'll go on to voice my opinion that most of the vocal tracks on "New Asians" blow. Tracks 1-3 are misleadingly awesome, but the album takes a swandive from there. Am I the only person shaking their head in disapproval? The people who responded to my earlier thread seemed to be lapping it up like so much nourishing gruel. I've been waiting patiently for the new Boom Boom Satellites to be released in the US, and was hoping the new Joujouka would help fill the void. It didn't. P.S. -- Oh, and it's mixed, too. Note to artists : Stop mixing your albums! Let the DJs do it! Quote
Guest kingdok Posted March 28, 2002 Posted March 28, 2002 Cali Fasi : I never said he WAS a trance artist. Did I give any implication that I thought "New Asians" was trance? No. I said "like when a trance artist decides to..." but that was a comparison of behaviors, not musical styles. Go back and read that sentence again. And, basilisk, if you're going to muddy the forums with random nouns, do it on your own thread. Quote
shpongled Posted March 28, 2002 Posted March 28, 2002 Heh... well I certainly want to hear that remix. Why do you think it's stupid? Because You don't like it? Quote
shpongled Posted March 28, 2002 Posted March 28, 2002 If I don't like some music I don't think it's stupid to put it on some album. Somebody else might enjoy it and I respect that. There is no need to argue musical preferences because it's simply question of taste. Quote
Guest kingdok Posted March 28, 2002 Posted March 28, 2002 Who am I arguing with? I'm merely voicing an opinon which (correct me if I'm wrong) is half the point of these forums. Quote
shpongled Posted March 28, 2002 Posted March 28, 2002 With Mr. Suzuki. Ok.. so you are voicing an opinion. Now could you tell why is that track on that album stupid? Quote
Guest kingdok Posted March 28, 2002 Posted March 28, 2002 *sigh* Because - it - is - a - cover - of - a - lame - 80's - song. Now that sort of thing may engorge YOUR erogenous zone, but when I hear the mastermind behind Prana and the first Joujouka album do a cover of a lame 80's song, it taints my opinion of the man. Quote
Guest kingdok Posted March 28, 2002 Posted March 28, 2002 The whole pie-in-the-face anecdote is news to me. Kind of amusing, actually. 'Makes me feel better. Thanks, basilisk! Quote
Guest bugbread Posted March 28, 2002 Posted March 28, 2002 Hehe...I hadn't heard it either. I'd pay money to see it though. Tsuyoshi was the very first goa DJ I heard live and it was wonderful. 5 years later and I avoid events specifically because he is scheduled to play. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Quote
Guest Inu Posted March 29, 2002 Posted March 29, 2002 A lot more creative than throwing beer bottles... I wholeheartedly approve :-) Quote
Guest cali fasi Posted March 29, 2002 Posted March 29, 2002 u got an attitude problem, what's wrong - small dick? Quote
Guest eris Posted March 29, 2002 Posted March 29, 2002 is takeshi isogai [ubar t'mar] still a part of joujouka? nobody's mentioned him,and i would be interested to know,being one of the [seemingly] few people who thought that his 'true' was one of the most abstract and ground-breaking trance cd's of the last few years.if they do an abstract version of 'relax',then i can't wait to hear it!--bizarre!

Guest kingdok Posted March 29, 2002 Posted March 29, 2002 If you consider house music "bizarre" then you're sure to love it. Quote
Guest kingdok Posted March 29, 2002 Posted March 29, 2002 I will say THIS, though : the track starts out nice. Quote
Guest bugbread Posted March 29, 2002 Posted March 29, 2002 Nah, Ubar Tmar (Takeshi Isogai) left a good while ago. Now it's Tsuyoshi, DJ Funky Gong, and Mitsumoto from Sinister Association. Quote
Guest Stale Posted March 30, 2002 Posted March 30, 2002 That song is so stupid that it Should be forgoten. Quote
Guest kingdok Posted March 30, 2002 Posted March 30, 2002 THANK YOU! And it only took 23 posts until someone finally agreed with me! Ah, sweet justification... Quote
