zircon Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 In my years at OCR I have rarely if ever posted out of excitement for a non-VGM artist, so you know this is gonna be good.. The electronic/rock act "Pendulum" just put up a new single at their MySpace. It's called "Granite" and it is SICK AS HELL!!! Absolutely earthshaking beats, bass, and guitars, but more importantly, they use some badass chords, melodies, and synths. C64-style arps, 'Poltergeist' style sine wave leads, choir... man, it's just awesome. Very reminiscent of VGM in spots. www.myspace.com/officialpendulum While you're there, check out the other tracks and the live videos. *headbangs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I like Pendulum. I like their track "Slam", really gets the blood pumping. Edit: I'm really digging Granite. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hy Bound Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 This is f*cking awesome!!!!!!!! I love Pendulum. I really like the vocals and the C64 bits and the synth whistling. Basically it makes me go a big rubbery one. Good find zirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citris Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 This does sound cool. And it gives me new confidence in my musical abilities. I finally started making music the other day. I have two songs now, and this sounds a lot like my style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Nekko! Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Beginning is sure reminiscent of the Castle Theme from Super Mario World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tensei Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Absolutely amazing. The intro reminded me of Protricity's stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmony Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Beginning is sure reminiscent of the Castle Theme from Super Mario World. QFT. The intro sounded like something that needs to be on OCR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dennis Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 The structure of Granite is very much like their other songs. That being said, if you find something that works... I've loved 'em since I heard their Voodoo People mix. Which brings us slightly off-topic but not too far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMqT7-rVWzg That's a music video featuring Prodigy for Pendulum's mix.

ILLiterate Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Pendulum is my god of DNB, new album should be out before the end of the year, not to mention I've sure I heard something about a US tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Beginning is sure reminiscent of the Castle Theme from Super Mario World.I thought the same thing. Would be awesome to hear something similar to this on OCR.As for the rest of the song: I think it's pretty good. I'm not quite feeling the vocals, but the rest of it is alright. I'll definitely be checking out this band's other music. By the way, is there any reason why a band would post a radio rip on their official myspace? I've heard the incomprehensible words (heard as the song's fading out) on other radio rips from Zane Lowe's show. Plus, the version on their player is EXACTLY the same as the BBC Radio One recording that's been circulating online for the last week (save for the shitty myspace 96kbps/22khz bitrate).
