Wow already back! Ah, posting from a cafe after all. eh? Make sure the wife is occupied 
Hehehe
@Pink Floyd - Pulse.
I still prefer the original recordings. But I have the video Pink Floyd Live 8 in great quality and that video is priceless to me because it's all of Floyd and not just someone running around making money off of anothers lyrics.. Without Water, there would have been no success for any of these guys, David Gilmours own music blows unless you go back to the 70's. He writes like a child imo. Pulse is ok I guess if you like the 'newer' Floyd..  |

I have had the Pulse VHS version for several years and have always thought it was great. The light show, the effects, and the glorious music put on by 3/4 of the Floyd and some fine suplementary players....Possibly the most damning thing for me personally, though, is the female vocals in "Great Big Gig in the Sky": it's my favorite track from Dark Side, but they basically destroy it in this version (especially the 3rd and last vocalist). There's also a bit of a breakdown in "Money", apparently also from the backup ladies getting a bit lost :-]
BTW: I also bought Slayer - Christ Illusion and was blown away!! The band still sounds as tough as it always has, but the return of Lombardo seems to have given them a kick in the ass. Much like Gene Hoglan, Lombardo can elevate an album just on the strength of his drum work. There are times during this album when I was simply unable to listen to what else was happening because I was mesmerized by his energy! :-]
The album definitely has a theme - perhaps their strongest ever- "anti-religion"----anti-islam, anti-christianity, and blames the conflict in the middle east on a clash between islam and christianity....
You gotta love Slayer. Or you gotta hate them. Those are the only two options. No middle ground!!

ATI is dead...at least for me. |
Slayer rocks man, ya Lombardo rocks as drummer, he's one of my favorite. I actually haven't heard this album yet, but I will check it out tonite likely. I just read some on it and it seems awesome.. Didn't even know about it because music stations here suck so bad!!!
ATI was dead for me forever when I got rid of that junk X800 card.. I have never looked back since getting my 7600, though my interest in the upgrade game is diminishing as we speak... but now that I have this 20" widescreen monitor I might reconsider... Have to wait for G80... |
