Can anyone direct me to a thread that isn't now about mt eden? Really, what the hell is wrong with everyone on here? I don't think he's great, but I don't really give a shit either way.

Nah man this thread isnt about mt eden its about instigating iambullet into lolworthy submissions to urbandictionary, like 'melodish'

[wirez]

I can't be assed to add thousands of quotes but I'll answer anyway:

You see, your fucking problem is you seem to think production values are above music. I've listened to Mt Eden tunes on loop for hours because I actually like what I listen to, I don't even fuck know you, your music or anything. So feel free to brag about higher production values and how awesome produced-to-death music us. I'll come back to you twat once I stumble upon your music and actually like what I hear. You could make your music by singing into a stupid microphone, if I like it, I like it. And as I said, many of my friends who are God knows not into wob wob shit (like I am) dig Mt Eden. You can call him whatever you want, I call him "a guy who makes music people that don't have their head up their ass probably like".

Oh and I like Clipz btw., too. And Clownstep if you will. Melodish? Seriously, have you ever listened to I think "Still Alive", it just sounds awesome and I like to have it playing. And I might have confused your argument against Mt Eden and the likes to be mainstreamish instead of your super-dark-nobody-with-a-right-mindset-can-enjoy-this-shit Dubstep or whatever you may like. But if there's something I'm sure about, I like the melodies and the overall ambience of Mt Eden tracks. You go listen to whatever you want, keep moaning.

Stop making assumptions you fucking stubborn piece of shit.

I make music to suit a commercial and underground audience.

If music is to reach a high audience, it should be properly produced. This is a fault of the music industry as a whole, not Mt Eden.

Oh thats what that tune is.

Every emo and every wannabe gangster has it as their ring tone on the mobile. I mean, EVERYONE.

I probably will get skullfucked for this, but what about Burial then? His music is awesome, no question but what does the throw together? Awesome beats, pitched vocals and vinyl crackle in a great way. Why's nobody hating on him then, if it's frowned upon if you are talented in picking and mixing great samples.

Burial is an amazing producer who is capable of creating unnaturally pleasing harmonies using delay effects and untuned samples. Burial is not only an artist and producer, he's a scientist as far as I'm concerned. His ears do the harmonic maths necessary to create good music and his skill enables him to put it into a track, a well produced track. There's a difference between a well produced track and an over produced track. You're confused. All good producers are aware of imperfections which can be used for the greater good.

You guys focus way too much on the effort spent.

That's because we know what's good. It's the difference between going and buying a properly blended and matured liquor and buying a tesco value one. The good stuff is appreciated by the people who know why it's good, and the dirty chavvy little stnuc like the tesco value stuff because it's cheap.

(That's got to be the best way to describe Mt Eden yet )

I don't care if Mt Eden didn't twiddle knobs for 10 days straight to make all the sounds himself. I and others like what we hear, you can hate as much as you want, he gets respect for that and it seems like people all the big guys here think he doesn't deserve any.

This is a completely valid point and I congratulate you for actually finding one after all this time of chatting shit.

Assasin is pissed off! It's amazing

MT eden and Basic A are both shit!

Especially Basic A but...wheres the bass man?

I'm pretty angry at this ridiculousness, I don't understand how people can listen to archangel and that pile of wank remix and like the remix more, it's truly wrong.

As for the dj slating haters, well that's what forums are for, expressing an opinion.

Mt. Eden, basic a, trpwr, gnome, hurling durvish, whyrez, jfk and futures untold are all shit.

Archangel remix. Sierra leone. New track. Dubstep.

Anyone I missed I'm sorry.

Thanks man I appreciate the support and promotion!

This thread is a shambles.

It should be locked.

A lot of your regs have disappointed me.

I think I made some valid points

when I start putting my stuff out there you can add me to your list

btw just to clear up my position on the whole mt eden thing; I'm not trying to hate, personally I'm not a big fan of his style for reasons I've already explained, maybe he'll improve and I'll become his biggest fan (not likely) I just don't see how he got so damn popular, really it's beyond me.

and seriously, music that sells does not = music that's good

but that's it, I'm not trying to hate (though I am green with envy) I'm not trying to start a fight, hell I don't even think iambullet is that much of a twat. I'm gonna leave it there before shit gets messy.

Just to add my two pence to the peace talk, neither am I trying to hate on Mt Eden or his fans. The points I was specifically trying to make were that the music industry must be in quite a poor state to allow something as poorly mixed as Mt Eden into the mainstream. Back in the day a good musician would go to a good studio engineer to make a good record, the point I failed to make was that technology has come such a long way and adding a bit of wobble over a sample is nothing to wow over, although I accept that people do and if they're uneducated I can sort of understand why.
But I like to believe even if I wasn't a music producer, that I would still be able to notice if a track had been badly put together.

As for 'music that sells = good music', this all depends on what you class as good... If it sells then people must think it's good, therefor it must have something good about it, in Mt Eden's case probably just a hype factor IMO, but I do agree, it takes a lot more than hype to make a piece of music itself 'good', literally.

it's huge.

unfortunately for me I have the face of a 12 year old boy so I don't go to much of it but it there is a LOT going on down here

this is what I was talking about, music that becomes really popular usually isn't popular because of the music, a lot of it is marketing the hype and when the hype dies down so does the appeal. just look at the X factor; people on that are always worming their way into the charts simply because the audience is huge and their music then becomes an extension of the show and feeds off of the succes of that. There are some occasions where music becomes ridiculously popular simply because the music is so catchy and likeable but that's a rare occurence these days

What High Hopes by Sinatra? last bare hit based on 'catchy' I can think of... Catchy died to meaning vs. marketing ages ago.

Meaning sells one side marketing sells the other.

Figure out where you stand becuase we're all a bunch of dubstep producers here, so no matter which side of that fence we fall on, in this genre, its not exactly payin major coin no matter who you are.

Mt. Eden isnt good at technical shit or music theory but for some odd reaosn some people like them, and we have to respect thier opinions or else we seem like a forum full of assholes.

IDC, keep cool merchanting out of dubstep.

But this ones too razy for even ME now.

And its doing nothing but hyping each others dislikeds for each other.

Legend4ry has had a point.

Move along.

aaaarrrgh hate this track.

you should hear him live hahahaa its even worse.

i dj'd after him and he was using a mix cd woooooooooo. his last song was sierra leone watever its fucking called and we touch braked the track before if got to the second drop hahaha, then played Your revolution (reso remix) .

cant blame him though, blame the listeners

[nowaysj]

Look, I don't like Joker and that purple sound. I just don't like it, nothing wrong with that, but that is music, that is music that was worked on, and thought about and felt. I'll never dis Joker or anyone that likes that sort of thing.

But this Mt. Eden, whatever he is, I've got no clue, these songs are just off the scale shit. Like it's not even discussable.

And I think that is the question that still remains, how can something this ununderstandably bad, be liked by so many?

I do like the purple sound and joker.

However I have to agree, I too am dumbfounded about that piece of shit "artist". How can people not realise that it's uncomprehendible shite.
