@DavenAza: Wonderful to have you here, thanks for filling in those details and I'm looking forward to MORE PENDULUM! May I ask what your formal association/affiliation with the band is? I've read some of your YouTube comments but would rather hear it directly and correctly from you!

Hi Torley,
Glad you found the vid useful for your article. Apologies for the poor recording. Many aspects made it this way. Such as it being completely live at the time. And was recorded through a mono output. Then youtube also has a habit of adding it's own mark to some videos.. I see we have a few fans of Pendulum here. May i suggest you all check out http://www.pendulumlive.com. It's a fan based site for everything Pendulum. Bootleg recordings, News, Reviews, Interviews, and you missed out on presale tickets for the 'In Silico' Tour in May 2008.. It's a good site.

As for my Youtube space. More videos will be posted soon.

Aza.

I only really liked pendulum early releases, and have most on vinyl.. 'Vault' was impressive when it first came out, also liked 'Back To You'

What followed pretty much was routine for them, and didn't really progress anywhere.
The 'Voodoo People' remix was poorly done, but Rob explained that they only had 2 days to work on it.
'Slam' had a nice intro, very dramatic, but with lyrics taking the piss - the really cheesy riff tops it off.

I prefer 'Slam Dunk' by Twisted Individual *wink*

@Anonymouse: i have both of those EI releases, and i think 7 Angels is a very boring track..one of the worst releases by them i can think of.
No offence intended.
Probably their most interesting tracks are 'Death Row' and 'The Score' - but both have silly comments in between.

I like 'The Blood' in their hard style.

Limewax is still releasing some interesting tracks to date, and Audio made me smile with 'My Generation' and 'Delusional'

Many many other good artists out there too, of course.
Big fan of Fracture & Neptune, Breakage, Fanu, Paradox..the list goes on.

Ah yes, but is it as good as Evol Intent's Flipside or 7 Angels? For truly spine-crushing mathematical bassinyourface displays of epicness, Pendulum are have become a bit too… poppy?

I want my DnB to have the ability to make grown men cry and wilt after it is pumped out at through a Funktion One rig . Pendulum have gone a bit stale, technically speaking, and are no longer as edgy as they were a few years back. They are basically just a one trick pony that mastered one single extremely catchy and hum-able tune and horn-sectioned it for all their songs (see; vault, slam, another planet). Tarantula was the best thing they ever did, and that was because it had the ragga beat and MCing. Also, they were poo when I saw them live and I swear they just sat on their laptops playing Solitare for 2 hours.

@Alyx: Yes, I most certainly do. Glad you do too… what are your fave Pendulum songs? I could discuss at length! ^_^

I can't wait to hear the album mix of "Propane"… I hope Pendulum keep getting better-and-better.

@Ryker: Thanx for the tagging! Alas, I'm not playing this round, but I DO appreciate you thinking of me. =)

Not following you big boy. This is near-trash.
