i\'m in zuke\'s camp...

i don\'t believe he ever mentioned turning the breakfast into biodiesel or anything, just bringing out more of a style that has not been explored as much yet. no harm in expanding the repertoire


there is some badass drum n bass shiz out there, i\'ve heard it



also, anything to sound less like bruce springsteen is a good thing.

[Jim Cobb]

i think theres a damn good reason it hasn\'t been explored...


and that reason is that i dont like it.


and it\'s all about what i want.

ok well when you start a band you can just play rock n roll. your point is not really relevant at all since the breakfast have never been just "good old rock n roll." they\'re a lot more than that. maybe if you took you nose out of the boss\'s greasy asshole you would have seen that by now.

Sorry, but when any music loses the sound of instruments and becomes too synthesized, it\'s not music to "me".  And don\'t try and school me on the history of The Breakfast.  Go back to 98-00 and listen to Jordan\'s playing - definitely mostly piano and hammond; even the early versions of Buquebus weren\'t all that synthesized; it was of a straight jam.  Yeah, Jordan moved in that direction when he cut down the size of the hammond and brought in a new synth, but it never sounded DB-like.  Tim brought in some synths to fill the gaps when they were a trio and that made sense, but now that they\'re a foursome, there\'s no reason that they should get away from who they are and move in an electronic direction.

it\'s called evolution brah. get with the times. it\'s not 1999 anymore.

I\'m all for diversity in The Breakfast\'s music but that genre (electronica) is soulless and boring to me.
The trance ambient experimentation they do within the rock and roll framework they have defined as their sound is fine for me.

Anything near what the Biscuits play would be the ruination of The Breakfast for me and would get skipped on any disc I came across it on.

[SlimPickens]

Let me caveat this statement by saying that I don\'t know much  about D n B... but I\'ve felt that over the last 2 years they\'ve been incorporating a lot more of it in their jamming.  Example:  the entire second half of \'08 NYE Toads show Rufus, minutes 9 -11 of OE from the same show, space oddity from the Sept 07 daniel st. show.... grant it, I may just not know my ass from my elbow when it comes to DnB style music... but when I hear Adrian kick into that quick high hat snare type rhythm...something about the way the band plays over him that has always made me thing DnB.

Am I wrong... or are you just looking for more of that style jamming?

[tyzack]

Tim uses one of those repeaters when he plays accustic shows (you know the thing that plays some sort of automated rhymtum guitar while he rocks out, sorry I don\'t know the name), I always thought it would be cool if he were to use that type of layering during electric band solos....you know kind of give a more mutli-guitar neo-psychedellia/shoegazing sound, then combine that with the aforementioned synth-electronic sound for jordan...i think that would be epic.

But that\'s just me.

too late. it\'s been explored already. and yeah personal preference i get.

yeah i used to think that too...when i was 15

i agree -- they shouldn\'t try to do what the biscuits do. and believe it or not, the disco biscuits are not the first or only band that played/plays electronic music. i don\'t have to tell you that. kraftwerk has been playing for, what, 40 years? there are many more that do it better than them. what the breakfast is great at is the fusion of genres and i\'d like to see them add a new wrinkle. i\'d just like to see them give it a shot

but i think the guys are diverse enough to be able to keep away from being soulless and boring. i think they could bring there own style into it, i mean isn\'t that what you try to do with covers. sign the song, play the melody but add your own creativity to it to make it your own? same concept

[bdfreetuna]

Are you guys talking like last April\'s Iron Horse Hard Luck Harry?

ser bust-out delay jams? I love that shit but its best used tastefully to climax a jam.... not like all the time and boringly like certain bands that some people here like that I think suck.

[ulee]

yesyesyes  Bring It!
I love (good) electronic music and want to climb aboard for Breakfast musical journeys of this ilk.  
They do incorporate these kind of jams to some extent, but exploring more, as Zuke said, might appeal to some new fans as well.

[NickNels]

Suggestions:

Jordan - Needs a vocorder for voice synths

Tim - Guitar needs to be replaced with a keytar

Adrian - Add some E-Drums to your kit

Chris - Needs a midi board to complement his bass

[jking]

i can see adding elements of it to add to their sonic palette, but why would you want these particular guys to start playing less intricate music? electronica is dumbed down music. it requires the guitar to meld into the background, while a 4/4 beat becomes the leading drive. where\'s the appeal in that, especially with the talent in this band? i\'m all for more experimentation, and, like i said, using other styles\' elements to add to their overall sound is fine, but moving the band in a more electronic-ish direction negates the very virtuosity most people love this band for.
