Holy shit! Zettel is back with the same Mokira avatar!

""in da mix" ? that mix is great, starts with Playstation 1 opening"

no it was called Big Reso Mix or something like that. I didn't hear any ps1 opening, it ends with a song called Cedar Green by Keaver and Brause that's all I know track-wise what it contained

Holy shit! Zettel is back with the same Mokira avatar!

lol you always reviewed the best stuff!

Well, I see you reviewed Deru, Marc Leclair, Vladislav Delay, among others. Major props for that. I will keep an eye on your future reviews.

Thanks! I hope to see you posting more! :]

Thanks for awakening me from my slumber. The review is a little too long for my tastes, but served its purpose. I checked out this album, and certainly I have no regrets. Is this what people call "brostep"? I expected something pedestrian; instead I found something fun and fresh. Good call on this one.

Album Rating: 3.0

"Basically any dubstep with a lot of really loud, heavy sub-bass (often not even sub but like mid-range bass eg. Skrillex) gets called brostep."



The mid-range part is pretty much essential. Heavy sub-bass is pretty standard in regular dubstep. About to give this my first listen.

Wubs with sweet fuck all of anything else to do with either dub or garage

yeah pretty much this actually. disregard much of what I said.

This is a fine listen and all, but some of the lighter tracks are completely uninteresting. The heavier stuff on here isn't his best work either, I think Ishimura is my favorite off this which is disappointing.

Album Rating: 2.5

Near the end of the album, "Check 1,2" throws one more curveball into the mix, with its faded beat, synths, and samples leading right into a glitch hop banger with Reso's trademark wobbles. It's got everything you'd expect from genre superstars like Opiuo and K+Lab, except with a spin that's distinctly Reso.

Album Rating: 4.5

Basically anything off of Opiuo's Slurp and Giggle or Butternut Slap series is pretty similar, and I'd call Check 1,2 glitch hop since its triplet-based 100 BPM music which is pretty much how that's defined these days.



Also Ishimura is one of my least favorite songs on this haha, but it's still OK.

Music is not defined by bpm lol. And triplet based? Um...

Album Rating: 4.5

What would you call it if it's not glitch hop then? As far as I can tell it's glitch hop and I can't really see it being something else.

Album Rating: 2.5

It's still a dubstep tune; like I said, things aren't defined simply by tempo. Though the drumstep crowd would argue otherwise lol. And Opiuo, K+Lab, Tipper and all the rest are also not "glitch hop", nor are they dubstep; they're breaks artists, and Reso's tunes are more often than not draw influence from that scene



How could it be seen as "glitch hop" (and yes, it's not really a thing either, but that's another discussion) when that is defined as: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMjmg1igZ4U

I guess it's just that every other site I've used for electronic stuff has called that style of 100BPM glitch hop, and I'm not one to

go against that (after all, for all the protests I make against labeling myself as such, I do enjoy the presence of the EDM

community as well as the darker electronic music one, and as this song falls more into the former category I might as well go

with the tag "glitch hop"). It's more me using what I know, because after all, you're the first one I've heard to label that style of

music "breaks."



Also, I'll be honest: I'm starting to get tired of the fact that (aside from the neurofunk/techstep recs which were nice) all your

comments on my writing and thoughts are nitpicky and condescending. While I appreciate the fact that you know a hell of a lot

about electronic music, it doesn't mean you have to call me out on a genre tag every time I do something questionable, even

if given the type of electronic I'm reviewing both of us could be right. I take my writing seriously and I don't want to have to

post an electronic review knowing that I'm going to have to fend off some term I've been using since I started listening to

electronic stuff a year and a half ago. I'd appreciate it far more if I could get some criticism of the music itself or the actual

review (which, granted, you kind of did on the first page, albeit in an incredibly snide way), and I think it would be fare more

beneficial to an already poisonous Sputnik community if instead of spending time making sarcastic, short comments or

condescending comments implying I don't really know much about electronic music (which, although true, isn't really

necessary and just accomplishes making me feel worse about my contributions and less inclined to write more), you made

comments that made people glad that they joined the Sputnik community. You're staff, people hold you in high esteem. It's

your choice what to do with those red letters next to your name, but I'd really appreciate it if you were more constructive.

No problem.
