the point of a forum is to discuss your views, so why delete this thread.
IMO
Pendulem, Oz Rock band, who proberley discovered dnb on tour, and got high and felt the vibe, started making tunes, with maybe a slightly differnet approach that got Fresh's attention, he taught them how to produce well, and taught them a lot of his skills, and then IMO they then had some good releases.
They then took this given gift, abused it, milked it, got sighned to a very commercial label, and continued to work on this theme, making obvious bs, (although well engineered), and then real dnb fans started to see through it, and made such comments. Pendulum then retaliated by slaggin of the whole industry, genre, and community, by saying they basically make tune to rake in cash, and ergo, clearly don't have a passion for what they are doing.
I believe
they think they have found a niche sound. I think it wont last.
slightly of topic but kinda how I feel about Kosheen, made some faily good dnb, then made a complete different album and shocked the community
bah
IMO music should be about passion, and hearing/ making something that makes electricty shiver up your back, and if that aint the case, get your ass to the job centre.
