Hi all,
my name is DJ Ro Prasad, am a longtime follower of the SISTERS,
ever since I first met Andrew ELDRITCH @ zig zag CLUB IN LONDON UK,
IN 1981 I think, when the sisters were supporting THE BIRTHDAY PARTY.
He was at the gig real early and we chatted most of the afternoon.
Am now a DJ with THE KILLING JOKE SOUND SYSTEM ,
and have just released my debut album with ASHIKA.
The album is goth/darkwave/industrial ....
Regards and Respect
Ro

Heeeeeey - I recognize you from the other place. Hmm.

eotunun · 14 Jul 2007, 00:39

Well, Ro. You've asked for oppinions.
I think there are good ideas audible, but very poorly executed. So you allready made an album?
Isn't that a bit early to call it such?

But as said, good ideas are there, I guess the rest is work for refinement.

Thanx Eotunun for taking the time out to listen to the trax.
Fortunately for me your opinion is of the minority, and the majority of comments we have received, including opinions from members of bands like :
The m*****n, killing joke, HIM, THE 69 EYES to name a few
have very highly praised the unique DARKWAVE style .

Thanx all for the responses. Am always interested to hear peoples differing opinions about the music of ASHIKA.
I Guess we are just fortunate that the majority of comments are from people who really like the music,

Well, ro, it's a wll known fact: If you want to know what you can improve, ask someone who doesn't like what you do for a good reason.

And mark: I did hear some good ideas. another

.
I once was member of a band whose members thought having made noises in some order was having written a song. Sadly so, as some good ideas got wasted that way.

James Blast · 15 Jul 2007, 11:09

the nicest thing about those four tunes is that they are short

Cyber Nation did give ma a good chuckle too

You mean it's not?

6FeetOver · 15 Jul 2007, 17:46

I can make some noise, but not really in any "order," as I dunno one musical note from another. Beats, mainly. Meh.

try m*****n forum

ro prasad · 15 Jul 2007, 18:08

Have been getting a lot of DJ requests,
for the version of POISON DOOR by BAY LAUREL.
Some punters have even dared to say it is better than the original.
Has anyone heard this version?!!

6FeetOver · 15 Jul 2007, 18:21

...never heard of Bay Laurel..?

eotunun · 15 Jul 2007, 18:22

Ayupp! And I like it a lot!
But saying "Better than the original" would be a bit daring..
great intro, a good singing voice, very powerfull version. A very nice piece of music, indeed.

have you been involved??

9while9 · 15 Jul 2007, 19:42

After a VERY PAINFUL listen.

The first word that comes to mind is Monotonous..
I believe if you look the word up you will find in the definition allot of words that also could easily be used to describe your music ( tedious, limited etc. ).

You suggest that others have praised your work. Has it ever occurred to you that they just wanted you to continue to buy their stuff and just wanted you to pi$$ off?

Anyway there are some talented people in this forum and I suggest that you take their advice.

Kaneechiwa

dear RO you looks a bit arrogant....
I do not know whether it is worth to listen your LP....you relly want only good opinions....not the truth

Ozpat · 15 Jul 2007, 22:35

...does anyone actually like this crap?

ro prasad · 15 Jul 2007, 22:44
