The Music Discussion forum has replaced the old Lyrics and Samples forum and the Live Scene and Music Reviews forum. This forum is used to discuss anything relating to Music including Orbital topics, the live scene including Orbital gigs past, present and future. This section is an ideal place to post your live gigs reviews and album / single reviews. This forum can also be used to discuss Orbital lyrics and samples. The website will never disclose or confirm samples for legal reasons - so this is the next best thing.

If music is described as "Lo-Fi" then what would you expect to hear ?

I'd expect fairly basic technology to be used, but then, I don't know shit...
Slugs! HE created slugs! They can't hear. They can't speak. They can't operate machinery. Are we not in the hands of a lunatic?

fuzzed up sounding beats, scratchy vocals, scruffy sounding guitars, characterful but crap production...

I would expect lo-fi to be quite minimal sounding with a rough edge
Quite raw sounding... and simple.
Lots of distortion.

Very little production and recorded on simple, less than 'standard' studio quality equipment.

It means music of such high quality, originality and genius that anything other than basic equipment would be a waste of technology.
Possibly.

I've just had a followup on the comment and it was meant as in the "fuzzed up" and "distorted" kinda of way so i guess Dog/Rich were on the same wavelength. I was told the production was fine though. thank god

Depth Charge stuff always gives me the impression of being Lo-Fi, but the music is quality.
