lol Panda hates the welfare state, poor people, japanese manga fans, anyone who goes to comicon
.... it seems there's a lot of analogies that float through this era of Panda's music, and nothing appears to be straight forward.... he talked alot about making something honest and not 'dressed in a costume' this time round so i guess i'm not taking too much from this album as simple one-liners.... IMO

i love this album, don't get me wrong
but it didn't quite reach my expectations
i was trying to figure out what would have.. and wouldn't this be fucking amazing?
less reverb on everything, no interludes, tracks blend sort of like live performances...
DISC 1:
papadum
ms. pacman
g-yeah
jabberwocky
boys latin
come to your senses (long live version, w the drop)
untying the knot
this side of paradise
nadir (w apocolypse now sample + thx sound)
DISC 2:
sequential circuits
mr. noah (w/o intro)
garage (w drop)
butcher baker candlestick maker
tropic of cancer
lonely wanderer
principe real
cosplay
acid wash
im going to try and make my version of this when the EP is released...

The Greaper era is ripe for a fan-made double album with interludes, that's for sure.

dude mixed together the feels tracks with the feels b-sides and added in live transitions to make a big fat feels-era album. It's pretty great! I like tomboiled more though.

Oh right.
I'm surprised an MPP one hasn't been made, although I'd imagine the transitions would be sorta hard to blend in properly

Pete:
Do you know if anything ever became of Soft Serve Rip Curl (below)? He put out that instrumental along with the instrumental for Principe Real and I really like Soft Serve but he's not played a full version of this live yet...
No.....think hes keeping that jam in preserve....
.....sweet one though....
"In preserve" is totally subjective but I'm resigned to it being a one off DJ thing.
Pete might be saying it's never being played live

i read it as "pre"+"serve" i.e. it's a demo and will remain as such

That was my fav hope it gets spread on some toast eventually
you can fit the album + 2 EPs onto one CD if you delete the duplicate songs + Davy Jones' Locker
callin' it...the Goldilox Zone
edit: might have to delete Shadow Of The Colossus too, to make it all fit

I know it's old news, but I'm just now getting around to that Cheap Treat remix and it's reeally catchy. So good!

is that PB remix of Eric Copeland pitch shifted? it must be ! I cannot hear his regular falsetto voice in that at all. Either way, i love it. Been gone for a month or so. glad to be back, y'all ! what'd i miss?
I believe its from transposing the vocal formants
...Shifting from male to female charechteristics .
It's done in a similar way to autotune - thru analysis , editing and resynthesis -
Tho this is obviously more artful that the instant vocaloid fx
.......He told me he spent a lot of time tweaking it to get it convincing...
I think its the bomb .......Il Diva....ha
Is it weird that this makes me picture Panda Bear singing the track in a little dress and pigtails?
...probably not...

Petek, what was it like when you witnessed Noah in the studio performing the vocals for Cosplay? Did you shed a tear? two perhaps?
Wotcher
Er .....nope ... Sorry .... The reverse ..
Noah's voice usually cracks after an hour or so - he likes to do his vox in the morening....
....so quimbo & I got a super sweet time on those daze , coming round to Noah doing his vocal
takes .....but the icing on the cake got spread when he did the backing harmony parts .....
....often off the cuff .... You can imagine hearing boys latin come together ......
The vocal parts in one of the break downs to Jabba are typical of what he'd do on the intros
or breaks in some songs to keep his voice on , or to warm up before the verse , and on the first take
he'd riff or scat , and each successive take sing a second , third or fourth part .
Noah keeps it pretty light in the studio , the only crying was laughter .....
Once his guard is down , he's very witty .....and pretty silly ....
With a pretty foul mouth .......
It was Noah - who has an hillariously tight ozzy accent - who decided his ozzy nickname would
surely be Nobbo .........ha
this is all so good - we've heard so much about how the music came together, but i'm really interested in how these vox came out.... & i'd love to hear him say 'a dingo ate my ba-by', or maybe do a rippin cover of Warpigs?
A lot of people have mentioned the difference in vocal performance between the live shows and the record. Since reading that PM Dawn and Toms Diner remix were big influences or inspiration for PBVSGR I've always heard this LP with a real 90's remix vibe, & that probably explains much of the feel, neither of those two touchstones feature massive drops or anything.....
I guess im wondering what was Panda's vocal intention here.....? There's really only a subtle shit in dynamics on most tracks on the record - was it supposed to sound like he sampled himself? Are his vocal takes that perfect?
I love this record, and its on headphones i can still hear that live delivery, say on Tropic for instance, but it isn't upfront.... is he that shy?
