Rosli's New Album

I've heard the demo songs on his new album and there's a particular song which is exceptionally emotional and melodic, although i can't remember what the song title is. 8 months down the track and i still can't forget the melody. I guess we just have to wait for the release of the album.

Roast Lee very PARI PARI..

 

[manloloq]

rosli mansor one the best guitarist..

Bila Bila rosli mansor!!!!!

 

[RoRK]

I've had a listen to a few tracks recently. One of my friends is mixing the stuff. It's pretty decent. Much better than the streaming version. Lots of passion and work went into the mixing for the songs that I heard.

It'll be great to check it out live!

yea and maybe you should go all the way to the end before giving remarks like your earlier ones.

yea and maybe you should go all the way to the end before giving remarks like your earlier ones.

My earlier remarks still stand - since you asked. And since you are curious, Rosli is alright as a guitarist, but he lacks something crucial or at least his playing on the album lacks something I find integral to guitar playing. And I'm not sharing that cos' I'm not intending to sound like a bringer of bad news.

IMHO, Shredcow will do a killer album - much much better than Rosli's. All Daniel needs is some belief, a good producer and time to do it fulltime. In the meantime, enjoy Rosli's CD. It's not awesome but it's good enough to hopefully get more folks believing in themselves that they too can do it.

Again Soft's own Shredcow is one of the best guitarist I have heard for a long time, locally or internationally. And since you asked, he is about 10 times better than Rosli.

Thanks for your wonderful opinion and insight. Feel free to share what you think is lacking, since it's your opinion why will it qualify as bad news? In any case, 10 times better is a very big statement :roll:

 

[RoRK]

Well the thing is this. Everyone's saying good things and if I'm the only one saying something bad then it makes me look bad, especially since I'm not with one of the cliques here.

But since you asked - I think his playing lacks speed (when it is needed) and high emotion. It could be a musical taste thing from his POV but to me speed is needed just as much as laying it slow. Take a listen to the stuff when it comes out and tell me if I'm wrong.

I'm not certain if I'll buy the CD - I haven't bought a CD in 15 years. But I'd love to check it out live.

I believe that it's good for Singapore that this album is done.

I'll give you more opinions - since you asked. The stuff's been in mixing mode for a while now. Why would it take that long??? Think about it.

Folks should really get a solid producer from the word "GO". I think this is important for a first album. Experience and direction is crucial to making things happen in any endeavour - creative or otherwise.

The mixing that I heard was done very well. The songs I heard benefited substantially from it.

Lastly, "10 times better" was used as a figure of speech. I've heard some of Daniel's stuff that he's not put out on Soft and they are truly amazing, both from a guitaring POV as well as musically. The statement was not meant to put down Rosli's playing, he is afterall technically proficient but Daniel's playing on a few of his songs really blows me away. I've been spot on when it comes to music - both from a hobbyist POV as well as professionally. Others may differ with my opinions but I feel comfortable with them - my opinions.

At the end of the day, listen to the stuff and judge for yourself.

Cheers

In no way did my previous post insinuated you being the black sheep among us all, your POV is your stand and everybody has 1 and i respect that. You're right too that this album will be a step for our local guys, imo in a different direction.

Why is it in the mix for awhile? I do know all the reasons and it is nothing like you have said, negative yes but not on the artiste's side. You're assuming that if a student enters the principal's office for quite awhile, it must not bode well? In any case, pls do not give such opinions freely when it's based on groundless assumptions.

I'm a hobbyist and into music as much as anybody else could be, opinions and critique are part & parcel or even crucial to development. It's much appreciated but that above guess about the mixing should be retracted if you're truly professional.

 

[RoRK]

You asked and I responded. IMHO, if anything is in the mix for way too long then something is amiss. What it is is anybodys guess. My own take, which I shared earlier was that perhaps more concise direction and/or better direction would have helped. Whether it is true or not is up to anyone's guess or knowledge. It is my opinion and you asked you it. Kinda ridicuous to ask me for my opinions and then to turn around to say that I shouldn't have shared it. ???

I'm a professional in the creative industry. If anything is taking too long in th epost side of things then it is a very good and even educated guess that something wasn't thought out properly.

I could have said a lot worse if I wasn't being professional or truthful. What I did allude to was based on my experience. I did not go into any rumour mongering or things of that sort. Again, it was an honest opinion based on professional experience. It was certainly not groundless as far as I am concerned and it certainly wasn't my intention to put anyone in a bad light.

I do not have a crystal ball or a magic mirror with which to use nor am I in a position to share or exchange rumours or gossips.

It was an honest appreciation of the situation based on experience. Take it as it is.

If you had taken time to read my query, i asked what was the bad news in regards to the artiste lacking something integral to his guitar playing and not anything more.

It's anybody's guess about the mix, i did not ask about this in the 1st place and you didn't mentioned it till the 2nd reply. Don't turn back and push it all onto me Roland. Good and educated guess as far as you're concerned on your side, as i have already said the reasons for why it took so long are quite a handful but nothing negative.

Anyway, reason of sound engineer and producer unwilling to work on an individual's album....sounds familiar? :roll: I rest my case and it's seemingly pointless to argue when i am rebuked for an opinion which i did not sought. :lol:

 

[Marlb0r0]

oooooooo...... Rosli..... Yamaha Guitar teacher. It's gonna be a killer... With Azman and Bani Rahman on bass... from what I saw from the pics.

Will keep on a look out for the Album.

Recorded at Ali's studio.... yes? no?

 

[RoRK]

Ah I see, I said too much, above and beyond what you asked for. Like I said, take it as it is. Folks are intelligent enough to decide for themselves, provided they see it necessary to do so. If I am only to say things that others ask for, specifically, then very little will be said in this forum or any other forum for that matter for the general masses and not specific to me.

I said more than what you asked, it wasn't a conscious effort on my part to do so nor was it intended to put any one person or group of persons in a bad light. We tend to write more than we should and perhaps at times a lot less too. That's the nature of the beast in as far as forums are concerned.

And you did mention that my assumption was wrong and that you have more accurate information. So there you go. My assumption was wrong but that doesn't make it false nor should it show that I was dishonest in my assumption. Again, my assumptions were based on general issues and in this specific case/issue my assumption was wrong.

I, like others who are interested, would like to see the album completed. At least we can concur on this, yah?

Why is everyone so obsessed about speed even when its needed......do you really know when its needed.....but i think its the cause and effect of living in a fast paced world where everything is needed fast and speedy....fast food...speedy deliveries...but what we need is to take a step back and enjoy what is all around......too fast....will stress u out.....relax...and enjoy

 

[RoRK]

I also mentioned that it is a matter of taste. My POV is that when speed is used selectively when the song needs it, then it becomes a near blessing. It really opens up the song so that it reaches a different level, from an emotive POV. It's more of a build-up thing for me rather than a fast, speedy play most of the time.

I do agree that speed for speed's sake is bad.
