Top tier stuff, superb content - I've been a big King Tubby fan since the late 80's, but never really looked into the man, only listened to the music/work that came out of his studio. Much appreciated. god bless
Thanks for that great video. I'm french and even if there are things you can feel in the music or the lyrics of Ian Curtis (also a certain historical background explained in the excellent documentary Joy Division) your explanations go a lot deeper than the few elements evoked in '24 Hour Party People' and 'Control' or any documentary I've seen so far and are really helpful to understand the mindset of that era . Thanks again.
PRAISE KING JESUS as a soundsystem connoisseur l felt sorrow WHEN THE GREAT GENIUS KING TUBBYS SAID THAT THE POLICE CAME AND SMASH UP HIS SOUNDSYSTEM GOSH 😢😢😢😢 ARE YOU SERIOUS MR POLICE DO YOU KNOW THE DEVIL USED YOU TO DESTROY THE CREATION WHAT GOD GAVE THIS GENIUS SALUTE TO THE DUB PLATE INVENTOR ❤ YOU
Great job, well done! I'm David Vorhaus's nephew, student and, most of all, friend; if he hasn't already seen these videos, I'll make sure he does, thank you ♥ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZTjK4VEUsgQ.html
I watched a movie called something like "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" and it was about a kid who invented his own form of a wind(?& solar?) powered pump that could run modern irrigation systems for his family farm (and then scale out to the surrounding communities). Great movie also, tbh. So this dude is like: "The OG Who Harnessed Electrons and Club Systems Sounds?"
So krautrock = awesome. Saurkraut = delicious And kraut is not really race slur? Lol What many people do not realize is the millions of heroes who picked up the pieces of one of the worst eras of human history. I do love a good ww2 kraut joke tho lol. I am fairly certain most germans do as well.
The music history of German and also Japan in post WW2 era (like 1946-1975-ish) is absurdly fascinating. Wasnt LSD actually even legal in Japan until 1990-something? Lol. That would explain alot...
Thankyou, yeah spring reverbs are a lot of fun. Realising I could use guitar amp ones with a computer was a great pandemic week lol. If you're interested then using preamps, compressors and eq on the ins and the outs makes them very adaptable.
@@MusicEnthuZone Frequency crowding seems to be a problem with most post FX. Multiple channels and attenuated "sends" seems to be one solution for that issue. Multiband EQ is deceptively powerful and useful. The low tech form still works.
I don't know much about dub music or the jamaican dancehall scene from those eras. I do know a bit about Reggae tho, and Jimmy Cliff is like required listening imo. Bob Marley too of course, yet Jimmy Cliff kinda set the stage. Fun fact: if you doubletime reggae and add some horns...you basically get ska lol.
I appreciate your podcast about this album and Derbyshire. This album is great, I also noted the musicality of her work, there are other electronic records from this era that quickly descend into a noise cacophony, which gets old pretty fast. This record is listenable all the way through
all my favorites, still have the albums!! i grew up on this music, these artworks, probably why i became a graphic artist/painter making music. One Love from Haiti ✊
Too right. And one that's far too familiar to too many of us. I know now that writing and making this video was my version of therapy. I think it helped and hope it does other people.
Great Vid. I would point out that Factory took some ideas from Bob Last's Fast Product Records from Scotland. Fast released the first Joy Division song before they signed with Factory. The Fast Product story is somewhat forgotten. Introduced the World to Gang Of Four, Dead Kennedys, The Mekons and Human League. This, two years before Factory released a record.
I have a story, as a callow youth I answered an ad in the NME for guitarist in a band. Ended up visiting Sonic Boom for the day in Rugby (I went down with two hawkwind fans double my age.). Pete Kember sat in a darkened room. Nice guy. We talked about Brian Eno and Blues music (he was obsessed with the sound of John Lee Hooker records). I was supposed to send a full demo of playing guitar but didn't finish it. Probably best I didn't join knowing what kind of substances were in circulation.
Railing against "Babylon" wasn't against capitalism. It was railing against oppression. All human beings want to earn more money from their work. That point was weak and unnecessary. But the rest is mostly accurate. I was lucky to learn from Clement Dodd aka Coxsone Dodd.
blixa from einsturzende neubauten said the nazis coopted everything therefore they had to start again from nothing ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-posxMfqdgIM.html
@@MusicEnthuZoneHe basically invented the remix. Note this is different than the "version", which I'm pretty sure he did not invent. I forget who did, but I'm pretty sure it was an accident.
Music I’ve only really dipped into from time to time, always really enjoyed when I did. Brilliant background, some amazing archive to bring it to life too 🌌🎸🇩🇪
Loads to get into as well. If you haven't already then try driving on a motorway with Hallogallo by NEU! As a soundtrack. You won't look back (apart from checking your mirror occasionally).
I Can't Disagree with what has been Presented here. So Much to be Grateful for from West Germany post WW2. There would be No "British Invasion" without Hamburg, Germany. 70's Punk and Post Punk would Look very different without "Krautrock". Johnny Rotten's Vocal style is a Direct Rip-Off of "Neu". No Kraftwerk, No European Modern Eelectronic(sic) Dance/Synth music which Influenced American Hip-Hop and Techno/House. I hear Krautrock everywhere today.
I find myself coming back to this video over and over again. Superb work. Joy Division for me is an acquired taste, and knowing the social and aesthetic origins of it definitely helped with the acquisition process. Members of Joy Division always said that their work is open to interpretation, and here is my interpretation of the iconic cover of Unknown Pleasures. A pulsar is the terminal stage of a massive star. Its radio wave was the first signal human got to know its existence. So anthropomorphically, the radio wave is its the last cry. Fittingly, the music of Joy Division is the sound of a decaying, post industrial society, as well as an individual losing his will to live.
You know, this is exactly where I'm coming from with the whole dub angle. Both the Pulsar and those echoes remind me of fading memories. Joy Division are an excellent lens to view lots of stuff through. Thanks for taking the time for such a thoughtful comment.
