Title: Chicken Switch Track By Lee Ranaldo
Post by: bUTTHOLEmAN on August 23, 2009, 11:44:33 PM
Do you want to hear a sample from the upcoming remix album?

this sounded exactly like I thought it would...I'm worried the whole album will be like this.

hopefully some people were able to make decent tracks...this one just sounds like a "patchwork pinchloaf" to borrow a phrase from someone else.

much rather hear eggnog itself, though I'm still holding out hope for other remixer's work.

The other remixes are not like this one.  I heard small snippets of the rest of the tracks on Amazon.com.  On tracks from Speedranch and Merzbow, you actually can't even decifer which Melvins song was sampled.  But then again, it's only 15-second sound snippets, so it's hard to tell.

Ditto.  There are places in there where he didn't even cut and paste stuff together on the beat.  It get's off in a few places.  Lame Ranaldo.

Yeah thats what pissed me off most about this track its not cut and pasted together on beat and I really think that this wasn't done on purpose to be "artistic" i think its just sloppy

I can't imagine it'd be possible to decipher ANYTHING from something done by Merzbow.

How about this electro version of Let it all Be - I don't recall exactly but maybe it's from themelvins.com ages ago - anyone?

lee ranaldo had some great ideas with some of the arrangements but its pretty sloppy.  Who knows maybe he didn't even use any digital gear.

Again, I would kill to have access to an albums worth of studio tapes to play with.  I know there's so much more that can be done than just find the bpm and put a drum/dance beat over it.

My understanding is that they gave everyone a full album, not master tracks.
Weird.....It's much different working with just the album and not the masters....Are you sure they didn't get the masters for each album?  Because that's a whole different monster. 

On the other hand, it was proabably much harder to send each artists all the masters for each album.

I think there's always one bad apple in the bunch. Still looking forward to hearing this album.

I guess it would depend on if the masters were analog or digital. Analog would be way harder logistically.

it's easy enough to digitize the master tapes and send them out.  would have been much better to do it that way.

That would be some expensive/extensive studio time to digitize the masters for that many albums. I read a review of the whole thing today that was very positive. Looking forward to it.

Yep.

buzz should have made them buy the cds and mix off of those. :P

Regardless of how it happened, having the masters would have been phenomenal.    Me and a friend put together an experimental "techno" album years ago and it was received well among friends.  It's fun to do, but unfortunately it's pretty much like putting a puzzle together.  Only all the pieces fit together with all the others.  There's no wrong way to do it.

Crap.

The whole lot of it.

If Melvins are going to let someone rape their material in the future please let it be someone who can actually produce, mix and remix the hell out of a rhythm and make it funky and bad-ass.

If it isn't funky.....it's crappy. And this is amazingly crappy.

Turns out Grandmaster Juan will not be buying this.

I hope this sorts things out for you Fart Eyes.
