first convo about it


me: lol you got involved with the monster monster discussion

reviewer: I bought the CD without even listening to it lol
I like the guy's vibe

me: i don't like his wobble

reviewer: oh really
I still haven't listened to it
I think this is some kind of re-enactment of the old days when I would go into best buy and buy albums with cool looking covers

me: i listened to his soundcloud page and it reminded of of how in reggaetron they use the same drum kits in the whole genre
yah great art

reviewer: yeah, it's the kind of thing where even if the music isn't great, I would be glad to own it just for the package
and I almost never feel that way about CDs


so after its in his hands what does our intrepid reviewer say?

reviewer: yo
I got that Batteries Not Included CD
it sucks

me: lol
is the packaging swanky at least?

reviewer: no
he did a shitty job packing it
so the poster is dogeared

me: dude complain on that thread!!

reviewer: and the package is cheap cellophane with gum on the lip to keep it shut
it's already got cat hair on it

me: lol
dude if you don't post it i'm going to post this log

reviewer: lol
at least redact my name
dude knows my address

dog eared with car hair.  lol

That is true.
I can only mention the case of Dogs On Acid, the biggest drum & bas forum, which is a fucking troll haven and shitstorm-plenty board. Getting your shit heard through on that place is almost impossible. I bet similar occurs with dubstep.

There may be dubstep forums or something, but I doubt that if it exists, it has a small member base that checks every thread and listens to the music people post. Someone may be involved in the community, and may have released chipmusic before, and since it's the place they go to check out music and they are a part of, they post music they make that isn't chiptune.

If it isn't chiptune it doesn't belong here. It's not even a matter of "square wave =/= chiptune", this music simply isn't relevant at all.

Also, I really hate when someone puts out a track that clearly wasn't made on a gameboy, and then claims in their bio (and album cover) to use gameboys. Seriously, come on.

Nah.
He just used samples from certain devices. He didn't use the devices to determine the timbre or style of his tunes (chipmusic as a form) or create the tunes using the limited capabilities or composing methods of the devices (chipmusic as a medium).

As thus, this is just dubstep smile

Mind you I'm fucking wasted right now. You can tell me anything and I'd probably believe it at the moment.
