    An Ode to The Green Spectrum

    in K-BLUB

    Posted

    There's many amazing electronic artists out there I enjoy, and currently I'm still in the IDM kick, with on of my favorites being a hidden gem Ashesinyourmind showed me last year named Ilkae, an artist who does an array of styles to the genre, whether it's glitchy as hell or melodic with beautiful synths that remind you of a video game at times (we call that style chiptune!), and with a consistent record of amazing albums, whether it be Pistacho Island, Light Industry or the recent Formal Format, there's plenty of tunes I go back and relisten to due to how much they bang, or sound pretty, or both, there is one track that speaks to me on a deeper level, one that IDM arists such as Boards of Canada, Plaid or Autechre can't come close to touching, and this track is an ambient one, called The Green Spectrum.

    Why do I love this track? When you first hear it, you don't expect to suddenly be blown away at a repetitive synth note that is 33 notes long. First time hearing this track not only was I blown away and instantly in love, I was expecting it to amp up the godliness I was hearing into some kickass beat, but when I realized it was gonna be an ambient track, I was satisfied with this outcome too. The beautiful synths and samplers that swirl around and repeat with it's reverb and delays, then slowly progresses into the second half of the track where the notes disappear and it's beautiful, haunting ambient. The notes's sound remind you of your childhood memories, takes you back to the days of you growing up, a certain sound that evokes nostalgia, probably to the time it was created (2008), it's a sound from another world, something that just hits you hard and makes you long for the days of chilling in your room, reading your old magazines and books or watching Disney previews on your vhs tapes, or just going out enjoying life. And meanwhile, one man creates a relic of that time and releases it to the public. A love of music is heard in the entire track. I don't see this as just a peak of many for Ilkae, or a peak of ambient or electronic music, but a peak of music in general. Well crafted beauty that sounds like it's from another world, or a time of your life, or a video game. Or all 3. It's sheer beauty I would want to make myself if I were a musician, and I hope Ilkae crafts another ambient masterpiece like this again.

    A Discussion on Squidward's Character

    reviving this since I really want to know people's thoughts on this. And I want to add that refining Squidward is the only way to redeem his character as a step towards better and less cliched writing. Refining your craft and executing it perfectly with love, care and understanding is most important stuff for animation writing.

    "The Eminem Show" since it had "Lose It", "Mockingbird", and two other hit songs which I've heard, but can't remember the name of right now.

    Bruh Just Lose It and Mockingbird were on Encore

    Eminem's Best Album

    Relapse features everything I like about Eminem. His stupidity is shown in here through his very edgy lyrical content with stupid jokes sprinkled throughout, and almost every song features funny accents when he's rapping, as well as some Recovery-tier vocals at some points. A lot of the beats slap too, Dre did some of his best this time around. Also, Beautiful is such an unexpected song after hearing a bunch of joke crap that is beautiful and catchy af, this track features Eminem in a more serious and depressed mood during his time in 2007 when he was dealing with his drug addiction months before he almost died in the hospital during an overdose and would become sober the next year and record everything else that made it into Relapse (which is still Encore-era tier and he was sober!! What are the odds??), but yeah great song and one of his best ever but even then the shit that I should be hating is so hilarious and entertaining. Slaps just like most of Encore.

    I like the old Em albums such as MMLP, SSLP and Eminem Show, but outside of the singles and a few cuts the beats are just so lame it brings down the song even if Eminem has so much charisma and was more clever and less stupid back then (if that makes sense).
