No, no, no, it's not about hearing the synths you techy-dork. :-p It's about the ENERGY, MAN! I just listened to the Japan set, and I'm not a fan.

It's weird... I love to hear crowd reaction and a reminder of what it's like to be in that space. It definitely makes me groove a lot more to hear people go off when the drop in something like Tits & Acid hits.

But, yes, admittedly from a tech standpoint the Japan set is better. Could you possibly send me over a link to the I Love Techno set, or post a link here? I have half of it, I think, but I've never been able to get the other half.

i didn't like the japan set because I thought the songs weren't as good and lacked the energy that the sf one did.

I love crowd sound! Makes it more authentic!

New SMD ! Synthesize

I heard this in one of their recent sets I downloaded from TheMixingBowl, though it was a horrid recording of the set. I definitely like this. :)

It's not quite as intense, but it's a nice continuation of the livelier tracks from AttackDecaySustainRelease. From what I heard from the live set, it works in carrying the energy really well.

I really like it. The visuals are pretty nice too. They remind me a bit of the Saturate visual the bros did.

Loving this!

Really dig Synthesise. Great tune, can't wait to hear it at the clubs, though I'm skeptical as to whether it will get play here. The warehouse/acid sound doesn't play big here unfortunately. Nice video too.

I got to buy my tickets for the Seattle show on Friday, and I'm buying my tickets for the San Francisco show tonight. >:-)

YEAH!

Pooter wins biggest SMD fan on a competitor forum! :)

You can listen to the upcoming single Audacity of Huge on the re-done website.

I'm not a fan. It's a throwback to 1984, and for me that's not a good thing.

Good stuff. But not "SMD" good. They can do much better.

Dunno--sort of felt like it was watered down pop.

Not really what I've expected out of SMD. I hope this isn't a new direction they're going in... ::shivers::

well, it's the first single. It's not surprising that it's a more mainstream, pop track. But I still like it.

WTF ?

This ? SMD ? It make me feel of zouk...

I'm not really a fan of this.

I'm starting to think that SMD should permanently fuse their group with Peaches... the songs they produced for her are just so much better, imo, than the three new songs I've heard so far from their own new album :S

I did not know that ! I need to find these tracks

I can upload the particular two that I'm thinking of if you like.

Upload! YES!
