Amygdala Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I bought it. I actually pre-ordered it, but because of the immensely crappy service by the danish postal watchamacallits, I haven't received it yet. One thing should be said though. The samplemagic crew (thanks Dave!), is bending over backwards to make it come through. I will post a review when it finally comes Good or not, I am impressed by samplemagic's service and patience! - A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I want some other cds from Eat Static far more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amygdala Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 So I finally got it. I have very mixed feelings about writing this review... As a sample CD it is a tool for creating music, and the less people who has this, the more "original" my use of it will seem. I know that's whack since I didn't make it in the first place but... you know That being said, I have to say it's really good. Very good. Incredibly good. There are sounds I recognize from pretty much all Eat Statics different styles - the old rubbery and shiny analog stuff from "Implant" and "Abduction", some of the spookier "Science Of The Gods" stuff (best album ever!), some phunky jazzy/swingy latino-like percussion sauce from "Crash and Burn" and "In the Nude" - and some supa-futuclysmic 'scapes out of "Declassified". As an Eat Static related disc, it has pretty much all of it. Quoting Merv from the inner sleeve: "... the aim of delivering something special that would not only satisfy the hungriest producer, but would aldo stir the imagination to discover new avenues of sound.". I am going to have to disagree a little with the first statement. A hungry producer can always eat more (static), and I had hoped for a bit more singleshot drums and perc. The ones that are there are good, no doubt - but still. The second statement is spot on, though. Listening to the loops, pads and soundscapes instantly magnifies my wish that I had more time to make music. Not only do they inspire pieces of music around them, they also give a lot of hints to new ways of thinking and creating sound from scratch. That's it I guess - oh, just one more turn off: the pads are not multisampled, so they are hard to tune correctly without mangling them... All in all an extremely good sample CD, that I will enjoy for a long time. And yes, I *will* hate hearing its' sounds in released material, except in my own. Well, and Eat Static's - A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergroover Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 what would be the best place to get it? any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amygdala Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Well, I can only recommend getting it directly from Samplemagic: http://www.samplemagic.com/ It took three attempts to make the silly dansih postal service get it through, but all contact with Samplemagic (again, big-up Dave!) has been a breeze. So get it there - A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonMan Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 So I finally got it. I have very mixed feelings about writing this review... As a sample CD it is a tool for creating music, and the less people who has this, the more "original" my use of it will seem. I know that's whack since I didn't make it in the first place but... you know Well I've been locked out of the forum for the past month, forgoten password and no remiders being recieved. However I managed to get the disk just before Christmas, and the samplemagic crew where fantastic. I recieved it next day (in the U.K) even though the post was screwed up by christmas traffic. On top of that, there was a known fault with one the audio CD, Smaple magic not only sent a replacement after christmas, they through in a free sample set just to say sorry. You're right, there is a lot of great material on the DVD and I'm pleased to say, it's not a "Eat Static" construction kit. As you say there are familiar sounds but you can't just layer stuff to make a soundalike track. So for the record, here's a track I put together using just samples from the disk, some mangled, some left alone. Listen to "Eat One" at: http://www.myspace.com/rtwoproject If it's crap, it's my fault, not the samples form the disk ! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with this, I too had hoped for a fw more single shots and infact afew "clean" drum and bass loops. But then, I was just hoping to deconstruct their way of working....
