Quote (Sweetpea @ Nov. 03 2008, 00:52) | PPS: And the vocals at the end are not "ATROCIOUS" at all, Sir M. They are quite inoffensive. You probably hate the "Eeyah, eeyah, eeyah..." from "Pacha Mama" as, well. |
Yes, I do. But the "vocals" on Tubular Bells II are just beyond bad. In fact, all those synthetic sounds and samples on the album come straight from the time when you'd see a guy-in-a-suit before a big box filled with buttons and switches saying "And with this tiny machine, we're able to reproduce with perfection the real sounds of a living orchestra!", and then it proceeds to imitate a violin by sounding like a buzzing mosquito. This in itself is not necessarily atrocious, but there's so much focus on them, it's like the music is working for the machines - and not the opposite, as you'd see on a, say, Aphex Twin release from that time.
