YOUNG TURK question


AlphaMale

Recommended Posts

Okay.... so it's towards the end of the hair metal explosion. I am still a teenager with too much money to waste and I was a cassette buying fool. So here I had in my hand "NE 2nd Avenue" by the band YOUNG TURK. Having no idea who the hell they were, I bought the tape blindly. And I remember the first song playing and thinking to myself..... I done got burned.

 

As I struggled through the rest of side 1, I dreaded the thought of flipping that cassette tape over and enduring side 2 of this pile of dung.

 

So on to last night, I am cleaning out computer files and deleting a bunch of crap that cluttering up my music database and I come across something I know I have never listened to and didn't even know I had.

 

YOUNG TURK..... some of their earlier material I am assuming as it's dated 1987 and it's sounds nothing like that garbage that was on "NE 2nd Avenue". This collection/disc/demo is called "Do You Know Where Your Daughters Are?"

 

Has anybody ever heard this band before, old or new? Pretty cool stuff they were doing until they changed their sound.

What's the sound quality like on those early demos? I agree that the CD from 1992 is absolutely horrible. Did not last long in my collection.

I think I did. Sorry mate, will have to check back to see if I still have it and can remember it. I think I remember it being pretty cool.

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
