Re: Infusion - All Night Sun Light

i think this is quite a clear case of 'sell out.'

Well, that's not the way Jamie at least, sees it.

I won't debate if their new sound is any good cos I'm sure the Presets camp will dig it, but they had a good distinct sound that would've been considered too 'underground' for the masses. Now they're on to a trendier sound that the masses are into. If that's not selling out I don't know what is.

Re: Infusion - All Night Sun Light

It could just be making/playing music that they like. As I said just because we don't like it doesn't make it selling out! What does underground mean anyway.??? It all seems a bit elitist to me.

Btw I'm not saying I like it, I don't like what Satoshi does now, but I recognise that people's tastes in music change. I just don't listen anymore and I'm sure they don't miss me. I don't accuse them of selling out because they don't suit me anymore.


Btw I am also not debating if their music is any good either

Re: Infusion - All Night Sun Light

Well what's the definition of selling out?

They went from some tough sick sounding EDM to this fucking ghey shit. They might not have had the influence of acts like Underworld but you gotta admit for a time, their sound was pretty definitive: You could spot an Infusion track from a mile away.

They could've produced this pop stuff from the beginning if they liked it so much, but they produced 2 EDM albums and then this.

If they're producing music they like now, I'd say their taste or aesthetics in music has taken a few steps back instead of forward, because instead of having that signature Infusion sound, they now sound like any other indie electro pop band out there.

Which then begs the question: Do they want to sound unique or do they want to sound like everyone else.

And that's selling out to me.

This is a valid statement, given our taste in music. Although I really don't listen to indie electro pop bands to judge.
I actually believe that very few artists of any description actually see themselves as selling out. People do change . So,more a case of doing something that is new and different to them. Even if I don't like it

It is also a matter of individual opinion. One man's sellout is another man's new and different. And we know where you stand I'm sitting on the fence till I see them

Re: Infusion - All Night Sun Light

Well I still haven't heard it. Went to the launch , but they were late starting and I absolutely hated the venue. Sunny was calling , so I left.

Jamie played a morning set at Sunny! He is an amazing Dj in his own right. I was so tired and just couldn't leave until he stopped playing. At 10.45 am

Sunny is wonderful It was wonderful hearing Henry Saiz doing his own stuff on a great sound system !!

Re: Infusion - All Night Sun Light

i remember infusion remix written on a record meant "cranky shit" but if this is whats happening, then hey... hope they are happy with what they are becoming...

Re: Infusion - All Night Sun Light

wondered what happened to these guys, well, there you have it.. good on them if they want to go this direction, at the end of the day they need to look out for themselves and their financial future.. we dont have to like it, but there's no use in slagging them off for it.. they're making money making music

Re: Infusion - All Night Sun Light

mmm... i have mixed feelings about this. On one hand I agree with DIDI and on the other one with feather.
Thought to say, but I respect them for doing the music they like, it just seems very rare to me that after their last work they suddenly went on a very different direction (and not even talking about the earning money issue), that has little to do with their previous work and legacy (!)
It just seems a little weird to me. But hey, all is good (and possible).That I think is what is sort of a popular definition for the "sell out" term...
