I love breakcore

[Sperge]

I'm just amazed that a certain girl from north of the border hasn't started a "BREAKCORE = WANK" thread.

[acid]

theres no rhythm or melody. no rhythm or melody!
just seems like a mess too me!
maybe thats the point?

[Magma]

Oh breakcore *definitely* has rhythm... it's all about rhythm! It's just that it doesn't necessarily always have 4 beats in the bar like most electronica.

Melody can be debatable sometimes though, haha

i rest my case!

[Magma]

Can't see that one, but how about something like Venetian Snares - Abomination Street that I mentioned earlier? That's what I always play people when they ask what Breakcore is... like it's totally fucked and silly as hell, but it's coherent and definitely danceable... in fact, I find it quite difficult not to hurl myself around the room when I hear it.

Having said that, it'd be pretty dull if we all liked the same music... although it might mean that my housemates forced less Shoreditch-electro on me.

maybe i'm missing something.

or just getting old.

"where's the flow?"

seems like jungle played at 1000 mph to me.

cant see people quoting music like that in 10/20 years time. like i can quote things like aux88, model 500 or 808 state (too name a few).

It's like any genre, there's a fair old amount of guff, but there's always some stuff in there that's the work of seriously talented musicians at the height of their powers. Most of it's pretty silly, but that's the mood of the genre, largely... but then most old school rave was fairly silly, it didn't stop some of the sillyness being absolutely memorable.

I'm rambling. I've managed to (possibly) lose my entire digital music collection leaving me with a fairly uphill struggle to re-rip and 'acquire' everything, so I'm not quite thinking to the best of my ability!!

god that is fucking horrible when that happens
i feel for you

[Magma]

Yeah, the worst bit is the "I told you so" from my subconscious which is reminding me I'd been planning to sort out my backup solution "next month" for about the last 2 years. I think I have a backup of the music from 2 years ago on a drive at my parents place, but that's a whole lot of collecting/ripping still ahead of me..... and a lot of lost photos, too

Now's God's time to reveal himself to me... I reckon He's got about 48 hours where I can be convinced...

I feel your pain, it happened to me a few months ago when I had a hard drive crash.

That's what prompted me to get an iPod Classic, so I always had a backup of the lion's share of my collection, and have everything backed up to another hard drive too.

Good luck with rebuilding. You might find this thread useful... reveal-yourself-soulseek-merged-t521.html

I'll have a looksie, cheers. Currently the best bet is to pray that it's the RAID controller/psu in the enclosure (it's a 1Tb RAID0 volume - ouch) and that switching controllers might let me bring it back up. Powering the disks from my old PC seems to let them spin up a bit better, so I'm clinging onto this raft of hope with all my will at the moment.

Just found myself a free software RAID solution, so as long as I can work out the stripe size (and avoid the big if on the health of the discs) then I should be able to get it back online, at least long enough to get the data off.

I reckon I'm currently looking at reacquiring about 8,000 tracks (the last 2 years worth, since I moved hard disc - luckily most of those are on genuine CDs, but it'll be a bitch ripping them) and several hundred gigs of tv shows (all within the bounds of the law, of course..!) if the worst happens.

Hard Discs are shit.

[Magma]

I know this is still off topic, but as the conversation went this way for a while.... Turns out my friend had the same enclosure, so we figured we'd try switching my disks into his. First alarm bell rang when his contained different hdds (Samsungs, mine are Seagates), so it was going to be a bit lucky if the stripe size was the same.

Still, tried it... nothing, same sounds, same situation.

Put his disks back in, fired it up. Fuck. His is dead too now.

Realise we're using my power supply/transformer. Swap it out for his.

His now fires up.

Put my disks back into my enclosure and MINE NOW FIRES UP AND MOUNTS! Wooo!

The most annoying thing is that my housemate actually had a compatible power supply and it didn't work when we tried it!

I'm currently copying everything off (in reverse date order - it's easier for me to restore the old stuff) to random storage around my network whilst I work out a proper solution!

THANK FUCK FOR THAT

[leah]

let that be a lesson to you, young man

[Magma]

Word.

So anyway... how fucking great is Breakcore?




Free compilation! Track 10 is a friend of mine (Twocsinak/DJ Sarah Wilson from Wrong), but they've mislabelled the cover apparently!

Oh, crap, the download isn't working anymore.

seems like jungle played at 1000 mph to me.

1000bpm = 250bpm = 125bpm

it just depends how you dance to it.
