I have not seen a Mosaic record in a very long time. I didn't think they make records any more... perhaps they don't. I remember I really liked one of O'Sullivan's releases on there. Can't remember which one. Would have to look. Was housey though no doubt.I didn't know they had dubby releases... I would have followed more closely.

very true! somehow i just feel trying to get to precise on a result isn't the greatest way to go. But you do have a really good point, for example read at what happened to BLM doing the same thing. :) anyways... i really like hearing the different perspectives that everyone has here. the diversity of everyone's experiences and expressions seem really nice.

Pretty much all of their catalogue is fantastic. I still play all the Steve o Sullivan ones now.

I do think it's understandable why people want to know how to make these sounds. When I first started all I did was try and find out how certain producers made a certain sound. I also remember asking producers that I liked at the time how they did certain sounds.

the metallic sounds in the track just sound like a filter delay on the high frequencies of the minor, 5th chord. i dig the track but there is so much stuff out there that sounds exactly like this. alot of this stuff is really simple music, mainly works because of the artist riding the mixer and delay filter parameters throughout the track to keep it interesting.

i do however agree with luco, to me this is throwback music and doesn't really represent what's possible in the current state of computer music making

but yeah, i doubt any of the track was intentional, most likely the producer just tweaked around til it happened

There's no such thing as a minor 5th, ( perfect 5th? ) You can have a diminished/flattened 5th, but a minor 5th chord doesn't exist. Sorry to say that but I am a pedantic arsehole :lol: . There's nothing extraordinary going on in this track, it is what it is.

sorry dude, i know that. i just meant a fifth and that the chord sounded minor to me that's all. thank you for using my fast and concise typing on the internet forum to expose my lack of musical knowledge to everyone ;) (*)

i am also a pedantic asshole for the record, cheers

i like this type of music and most of my friends are crazy over this stuff but it just all sounds the same to me. i appreciate the use of depth in this style of music with recorded noise and delays, it's very pretty and soothing and of course all subjective like my first comment about it. i like my dance music a bit more primal, the kind that makes bitches want to do huge rails of blow and shake their nice little arses.

Alright Dub chord fiends!lol

Love this tune and the dubby chords that come in at 1:20 and then continue on, those almost muted ones??
They have to be a specific synth right?? Such a classic Dub sound.
Or am I wrong?
