yeah.. I agree, and I don't think that everything between Lunatic Harness
and Tango are crap either.. I only think that Urmur Bile Trax is crap.
And well.. I also think the Brace Yourself remix on Mealtime is crap, maybe
I would think different if it weren't such a total ripoff of Squarepusher's
A Journey to Reedham from Big Loada. Ripoff aside, that is definitely the
worst piece of music I've ever heard in any genre.
Being fans of certain musicians, we all make things that resemble the work
of others, sometimes we release them, but it's not like this track is
something that I can say is worth releasing.
Recently a friend of mine sent a demo to Mike P. and then got a call back
saying that the tracks are nice, but they aren't ready for release yet, but
that music (at least IMHO) is WAY better than that track from Mealtime, and
definitely as good as the other stuff that's out there.
Of course the matter of opinion is here, and that is Mike's, but.. It just
seems so stupid. I mean, is there anyone here who actually thinks that's a
good track (brace yourself remix) ? please speak up :)
but the issue of fame getting crap tracks released aside, I seriously hope
that this is not the future of Mike's music.
