The first one would be cooler if it has more variety or was significantly shorter - I stopped in half. The second one is pretty cool the way it is, and listened to the whole song
You people don't understand how to dislike, or appreciate art. Your opinion about whether it should have this or that is both unnecessary, and stupid. The artist made what they made because that's what they intended to make. Your thoughts on adding more cowbell has no place in any conversation about art. Like it, don't like it, whatever. But don't ever talk about what you think it should have. That's fucking asinine.

Just heard this. Just a teaser and it sounds really, really, really good. Later this year's going to be great.

I didn't like it at first. By the first minute I'd realised that it was actually good. By the end I liked it and I've since listened to it a few more times. I love it when a song can be that fundamentally simple yet so interesting. I could talk about the timbres used all day and there's lots there rhythmically. I have to talk about 10 pieces in my composition class and I really think this would be a great one to chose.
I can see myself listening to this band in the future. Thankyou!

I still haven't heard the first Ziltoid. Apart from his ambent and a few SYL records I think it's the only Devin Townsend project (har) I haven't heard.
EDIT: Phylum, I think you'll like these tracks, especially if you like the Beach Boys as much as you say you do:
Relistening to these songs is making me all sad. RIP Bill Doss.
Oi, Bungle! Change that now. I feel like I shouldn't post a song from the middle of the album but it's one of the best songs in the album. Check out By Your Command and Planet Smasher as well.

Here's a rare recording that OTC did for the BBC back in the late 90's. It's a collage of songs that they recorded specifically for the BBC, and includes some of my favorites from their early days.
