Cinos Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 This track, along with it's single-companion Beautiful People, is generally considered Hallucinogen's worst. I disagree. Both this and BP are great tracks. The bass/percussion is excellent, and while the lack of melodies isn't too good, the subtle layered shades of twistedness make up for it. And the dial-tone part in Mi-Loony-Um is just hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I also love Mi-Loony-Um ! Even though it is one of his weakest along with Magik. I remember when I first heard Mi-Loony-Um it was the hit and pretty funny tune in deed but after few listens it wore off and now it is just okay. I still hope that his new album would more sound like this song cause it still has the reminiscence of his old stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 i think its quite boring track .. but in dub its fucking amazing.. one of my fav chill tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontier Psychiatrist Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Magick and Beatiful People are horrible. Miloonium owns. I used it in my music class to give example of concrete music (using non musical instruments to create music, much like the beginning of Pink Floyd's Money) Another bad Hallucinogen tune (although a colaboration) is Long Long Arms.

Dajek Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I really like Magick and My-Loony-Um, but I haven't understood Beautiful People yet. Maybe it will come to me one day, but I doubt it. It has onthing Posford in it. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormion Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Mi-Loony-Um! is wicked and it has a great intro but I can't say it's so great. Of course Simon was never of my best-best artists, so maybe this is why I don't like this track SO much. But yeah it's really good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr papa Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Good on ya, Frontier Psychiatrist!! The world needs music-teachers like you. Though I praise your teaching methods I slightly disagree on your comments about Magik and Long Long Arms. It is a matter of opinion, of course, so I give you mine I consider 'Magik' one of my 10 favorite Hallucinogen-tracks. It has all the elements that make up a classic tune in my book. It is complex, varied, twisted and well... hallucinogenic. Of course, it is not Space Pussy, Deranger or Gamma Goblins and will never be (but those are indeed tough acts to follow). 'Beautiful People' is beginning to grow on me. It has taken more than a 100 listens. I admit I was making sad faces at first and thinking: 'oh my god - Simon has finally lost it'.... But it is one of those tracks which proves that first listenings can be deceiving. I simply can't get enough of that insane, distorted wailing-sound in the first couple of minutes and I consider it one of the greatest tricks which Simon has pulled out of the hat over the years. It is one of his weaker tracks, but that doesn't make it horrible (that's a strong word). Way above average, at worst. And THAT ain't bad. 'Long Long Arms'... Oh my! I have praised this one to High Heaven on several occasions in this forum, since I heard it at Earthcore Carnival. New psytrance-tunes rarely delights me at first listen, not even Hallucinogen-tracks - especially when I come to a party and expect some of the old dancefloor-killers. It is at home, immersed in the music in front of my stereo, that the REAL magic happens. But this one was an exception. That 'My arrrms are verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry looooooooong.... looooong loooooong arms covered with beautiful feathers'.... and so on has got classic written all over it. I remember the rest of the track as delightfully melodic and psychedelic and I am looking forward to its release. On another note, you should definitely give one of Simon's other soon-to-be-released-tracks a listen. I have heard it twice at his live sets. MAN! It is a killer! A rhythm formed by an insane, distorted robotic voice talking absolute gibberish. Golly! Don't know the title nor if it'll be released. I'm guessing its one of the collaborations on Unusual Suspects 2. Here is a link with a short videoclip from thump-o-ween in San Francisco. It is one of the clips, dunno which one.

Frontier Psychiatrist Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Sorry for my English I am not a teacher, i was a student. It was a part of my homework. I was supposed to find different pieces of music that fall under several definitions. Like Concrete music, descriptive music, and some other that i don't remember right now. As for teachers, i had some teachers while studying sound that had some connection with trance. But i, myself, don't teach yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insejn Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I loooove that track. Altho not that much is happening in it its so good to blast out really loud. I don't like BP at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyman604 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 to me Mi-Loony-Um is like the same as some hard to define point in the Matrix 3 where you realize everything has gone terribly wrong and that eveything to come after this point is going to be a bit cheesy. Its hard to say that what comes after this point totally sucks because of what came in the beginning but none the less still leaves you longing for something closer to the genious of the earlier moments, when things were a bit more twisted and darker in general.

Oopie Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Yeah I like Milloonium ...though Simon has done many times better tracks too... But well, if Hallu 3 sounds like this I have absolutely nothing to complain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebedee Gherkin Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 For me it's the best track on 'Demented' . Reminds me a bit of the Green Nuns at their wackiest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
