How can something be 'too accessible' ??

A big marketing budget from the record label.

i think it's a good poppy electronic album. i enjoyed it for what it was.

however, his "dj set" at Rockness seemed to be someone pressing play on a pre-recorded laptop set and playing about with filters for an hour.

i'd feel a bit embarrassed at getting £15k for that, especially with Crystal Method pounding out tunes beforehand.

When its everywhere, tv adverts, ringtones, asda when your shopping...

His album, just like Mobys was everywhere and diluted it. It had a few good tunes on it but thats about it, when Data re-released Drop the Pressure with Gloria Estafan that says it all

Instantly forgettable, commercial crap.

I loved his album when it came out. I agree with people saying it was quite poppy/commercial etc. but for me that was a good thing at the time. I was what, 13 then, and only really listened to rock music, and this album really helped to switch me on to dance.

Plus, i've heard that he and his band put on a good live show, and I also reckon whatever he's cooking up for the next release is going to be pretty good. I have nothing to back this up though...

The album was that god awful I gave it away 2 weeks after I bought it.

seriously? no way he got 15k for that! it was pretty generic.

i like mylo, always have done from begginin, really loved drop teh pressure at first but ive heard it so much now! but i dont get how he can be rated in the big boys i mean he's had one albumand only played like maybe 10 gigs in the last 2 years!

Osmo · 2008-11-12, 17:18:21

Am I right in thinking he only starting djing after getting big from the tunes he released?

Tears For Beers · 2008-11-12, 17:18:37

I'd put Destroy Rock and Roll in the same veign as Moby - Go. Popular and decent albums that got rinsed commercially and ended up losing a bit of credibility along the way.

Mylo was pretty big about 4 years ago but not sure if he'd generate much hype anymore unless his new stuff is awesome.

For example if I put on a party with Justice headlining or Mylo headlining, Justice would sell out in days whereas Mylo wouldn't. Maybe Justice haven't sold as many albums and don't have as big commerical appeal but they probably have a bigger and more passionate fanbase.

Then again Justice might be in a similar position in a couple of years, but if you look at the venues Justice have played and sold out it's a fair enough assessment to say that Mylo probably wouldn't have done the same.

Mylo played my May Ball at uni, so he does have one over everyone else though.

yeah it took a while for him to get ok at djing

his live work is really good tho, no fake speakers to his act

Either that or you've never seen him. (Or Grum and Alex Metric for that matter)

Fool.

ourtalk · 2008-11-12, 21:01:02

aww i just typed a really long replied that got eaten by the board.

im not saying as a dj but as a producer i love his work.

kids from the states, when mylo dropped there was 2 aa stores in nyc now there is 17 if not more. the pool for americans listen to that stuff at the time was still very small. infact i bet i know everyone that was there when he played here. he never had a hit here on the radio. so try to compare them to justice is not right. most the hipsters today in nyc and rest of america were listening to dipset and sleeping out side of bathing ape for clothes when this was all dropping. peter bjorn and john made them all switch over to bad all over printer shirts and listeing to the dj act with no vowels. i love the kylie stuff that he leaked i but he comes back strong. well at least im hoping

pretty sure he wasnt been serious and was just adding more nonsense to this nonsense thread

Prisoner Wrote:Yes this thread is crap.
A lot of recent threads have been utter pointless bollocks.
Examples:

"what do you do after you finish an exam"
"question for fellow djs" (about how people arrange their MP3s or CD wallets)

. and my fave of the moment:
"where does Erol get his hair cut"

...as well as endless bullshit about Justice - what they eat for breakfast, can they cure blindness etc.

its a public forum, and a bit of fun. lighten up.

danalani · 2008-11-12, 23:42:33

I too have noticed the quality of threads declining, what did we actually talk about before!?

Edit: not to say this is a bad thread though. It an Erol forum and Mylo is surely one of his contemporaries?

Shut up you little mug.

You sit there - an insignificant little boy who will probably leave nothing of worth behind when you die - and use the internet to take cheap little shots at people who actually achieve what you never will.

Get a grip.

andy8271 · 2008-11-13, 02:22:52

maybe your reading the wrong section of the forum

this is general discussion which it seems is for generally discussing random crap

t theres decent threads somewhere in the more musical sections of the forum

andy8271 · 2008-11-13, 02:25:43

PS the forum isnt getting worse. it has always had a pretty high shit:not shit ratio , its just that 'back in T day' there was hardly anyone here so we would have to wait a day or so before a new good thread and 2 shit threads where made

That's pretty true. These days though you get a lot more 'I'm bored', 'I'm drunk', 'I'm 17 and in desperate need of attention' threads though but I just ignore these rather than get in a tizz about them.

dangerchef · 2008-11-13, 14:23:32

Yeah things were SO MUCH BETTER back in day.....
