I'm pretty adamant that there's no dubstep in this though =P

The last minute of Scarlatti 2.0 has some "dubstep"y-ness to it, same with the very end of Toothpaste. Or at least those parts sound like what I associate dubstep as in my mind.

Didn't pick up in that, but perhaps the odd bit of dub.

Well I'm not the voice of dubstep here either though. You would probably know way better than me what is or is not actually dubstep. I like the wobble bass sound that is associated with dubstep groups like Skrillex and Excision (that is also used by The Algorithm, KoRn and Exotype) but in general I'm not a big fan of dubstep. I checked out a dozen or so dubstep artists about a year ago through youtube and the only one I really liked was Excision, his music is a bit on the slow side for me (I prefer my electronic music to be relatively faster paced) but I still liked it way more than Skrillex or any of the others I checked out (funny opinion, Excision's music sounds like Transformer sex music ). The only other one I really dug was some Greek guy whose name I can't remember for the life of me that was something like Cube or Cubix or something (at least I'm pretty sure his name had something to do with Cube somehow) and I'd love to find him again.

I'm glad this band finally made it on ms.

It's like Mr. Bungle on fast-forward. I'm not sure what to think of this yet. x3

So, are all the non-synth instruments recorded on the their respected individual instruments by this guy or are they just mixed samples?

Damn this album raped my brain

I own the first 3 cds and most of the instruments like strings, banjo, saxophone and others are credited to session musicians. I think he takes care of all guitars (both acoustic/electric) and most of the vocals (some growls and vocals are credited to other fellas). There are of course many samples from well known classical compositions. It's quited difficult to known what has been performed by the guy himself, session musician or by a sample but somehow I think that's the beauty of it. The only thing I do know is that he's still responsible for everything (read: insanely brilliant songwriting) in the end.

This probably one of the most briliant things I've heard in a looong while. And I thought Unexpect was was a mess... >.>

Maybe I should try this shit a bit more. I'm not sure if I'm liking it or not, but it's weird (and I still don't know if in the good or bad way )

Edit: I'm so jealous of you, after the 2nd listen I didn't feel the magic

By god i shall listen to this tonight.

I believe an Igorrr CD was given to baby Yeshua by one of the Magi.

He gave it to him once he found out no one gave a flying fuck about Myrrh.

hahahaha why?

Almost didn't sleep last night listening to this shit till dawn ... one of the best things I've ever heard . brought back memories of the days I would listen to Unexpect and D:S:O all the time.

I'm very glad Igorrr are on the site. Now I just need to somehow wangle Boards of Canada into the database and my life will be complete

Top notch avantgarde.

This is the musical equivalent of ADHD. Vegetable soup is my favourite track for two reasons; CHICKENS! and the lady saying "شربة خضار"

Because I scrolled through the comments once more, grinning at all that praise and I was imagining what would someone, who didn't hear the album yet, think. Then came your comment and I lol-ed and thought: Fuck Yeah!

I don't want to hijack the thread out of being pedantic but just because I can:

Dubstep is not really defined by the wobble bass sound, it has a very definable set of characteristics. Original dubstep was played around 140 BPM with the percussion being at half tempo. This is what gives the tracks that slow and empty feeling, and it also means dubstep is NEVER "driven" by the rhythm. Percussion is generally a rearranged Amen-break and it is NEVER a simple four-to-the-floor type beat and early dubstep took tons of influence from jamaican dub music (hence the name).
It was quiet and atmospheric with most of the music being overwhelming sub-bass, but much less in higher frequencies.

Then came the so called "brostep", essentially a type of post-dubstep, which is more aggressive and has most of the music in frequencies similiar to metal guitars. Excision belongs to this category, but this is still dubstep because it has all other characteristics of the genre. I do not consider Skrillex to be dubstep because, while he might have a couple of dubstep-ish tracks and defo took influence from the genre, he plays in different tempoes and percussions, and is far closer to a type of electro-house with glitchy synth. That is usually referred to as complextro.

I have no clue if there is dubstep in this though because I haven't listened yet but I definitely will!

Thank you very much for updating wiki on DUBSTEP.

Now, get your ass back on this forum topic and discuss about this album(if you want to?!).

btw, Bandcamp tags are sometimes NOT CORRECT. If you really wanna wobble about "tags/genre", then you should check the band's official website out.

Wiki is incorrect and inadequate in many things, I took most of this information off my own experiences and from discussions with music nerds from MMOChampion, no clue what is on wiki.
Also, many times artists themselves have no clue what genre they play. Unless you accept that Children of Bodom is not power metal and The Acacia Strain is not deathcore.
It is so pointless for you to play surrogate mod since then you'd have to moderate every second post of yours, and then I am being generous.

WTF did I just hear? Well, whatever, it was awesome. I feel violated.

This album is just bloody darn fantastic. Has a distinctive, unique sound of their own that I'm really digging.

What the hell is this?!? I hate it yet love it at the same time. So bizarre.

Really fun record to listen. The eclectic postmodern mix of styles turns me off a bit.

Basically what I'm feeling. I can't tell if I hate it or love it yet, but I'm pretty sure I like it. My mind is still reeling from everything that's happening in each song.

Edit: Yeah, it's pretty fuckin' awesome. After a few more listens, I might even give it a 10, depending on how I feel after my brain has worked it all out. Not sure why it's on metalstorm, as it has barely any metal in it at all (of course, I've only heard this one album) but that's perfectly okay with me. I'm glad it's on here.

Igorrr is a crazy insane genius, getting mindfucked by the album and lovin' it.
