What's a spinnin' in your CD player?


Recommended Posts

 

The one thing I can't get my head around is Skagarack's 'Big time' album. The first 3 Skagarack albums feature the same line-up, then Torben does the solo album with a new line-up; fair enough. Then, with another completely different line-up, he records 'Big Time,' yet calls it Skagarack? Without a single other member of the original band. Why did this happen? Why was it not just called another Torben Schmidt solo album, which is exactly what it was??

 

 

Simple bro, Torben did his solo and probably didn't sell well as Skagarack. He owns the name legally and he has the right to use it so probably it's a business decision. Actually this was done by Axl with GNR and Dave Mustaine with Megadeth too :)

Anyway how's the 'Big Time' album ? haven't heard that but I assume it's a 70% ?

 

 

I'd understand that if Skagarack was a name anyone cared about, but I believe the only reason Skagarack failed was because they couldn't sell enough albums to support their musician lifestyle. After 'A Slice of heaven' the guys had to get day jobs just to earn a living... and that is right in their "prime." So I'd be really surprised if his solo album sold any less than a Skagarack album, but maybe I'm wrong?

 

I read the original line-up recorded a bunch of songs in 1991 that remain shelved. Would love to hear those.

 

'Big time' is a typically patchy Skagarack album. Three gems and a bunch of okay tunes. 'Ain't you got a mother' and 'Somebody like me' are great, and 'Hold on just one more time' is in my top 3-5 Skagarack songs;

    • 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...
