i can't use rapidshare at work, but wanna hear this ;_;
― mizzell, Friday, 19 October 2007 17:35 (sixteen years ago) link
This is awesome! People tripping on "Supertzar" really should check out Sabotage in its entirety, pretty gonzo as a piece.
― da croupier, Friday, 19 October 2007 17:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh yeah! Thanks, Matt. Never heard the Technical Ecstacy stuff before.

SBS went against the Sabbath grain nicely too."Spiral Architect" is the best Who's Next song not on Who's Next.
― Bill Magill, Friday, 19 October 2007 17:53 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah i'd never actually heard sabbath bloody sabbath or technical ecstasy (or never say die -- jeezus that's horrible) until now...lots of cool lazer light show synths on SBS that surprised me.
― M@tt He1ges0n, Friday, 19 October 2007 18:55 (sixteen years ago) link
dude what are you talking about... 'Never Say Die' is a good album.

"i listen again, but it sounded like a band that needed a hot Dio injection something fierce to me."
"dude what are you talking about... 'Never Say Die' is a good album."
These two things are not mutually exclusive, and both happen to be true. I love Never Say Die.

i have to admit it sounded better on second listen. but i think i like technical ecstasy more.
― M@tt He1ges0n, Friday, 19 October 2007 19:59 (sixteen years ago) link
changes is so corny. good mix otherwise.
― LaMonte, Friday, 19 October 2007 20:26 (sixteen years ago) link
changes is beautiful

Well done M@tt! And if want to redo it with "Don't Start Too Late" and "Sleeping Village" (from the debut), I highly recommend this free trial version of RipEditBurn. Then, you can isolate the quiet parts, maybe throw a little flanging or reverb on top, and maybe play 'em backwards (to listen for secret backmasked messages.)

Yeah, thanks for bumping this thread -- I have these all around but it's good to hear it all in Matt's mix!
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 28 October 2007 20:10 (sixteen years ago) link
And yes, if people haven't heard all of Sabotage, you need to...
i liked it! i hadn't heard a few of those later ones before. good stuff.
― one time, Sunday, 28 October 2007 23:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I just listened to this, and imagined a new band who had this as an album. And I love that band. It almost reminds me of a krautrock band or something.
― filthy dylan, Monday, 29 October 2007 02:00 (sixteen years ago) link
I tried to do the same but it's that old purple polar bear thing. Still, it'd make for one wacky ass record. An instrumental snippet as an opener and then a piece of headin' off into battle nuttiness followed by another instrumental snippet all before the first real vocal and longest track which is something from Technical Ecstasy. Some prog-folk nightmare, for sure.
And I second the love for Sabotage, the first side of which is the solidest slab of Sab ever.
Thanx, Matt!
― Kevin John Bozelka, Monday, 29 October 2007 05:37 (sixteen years ago) link
And WTF is that FX thing? That's post punk I daresay.
― Bimble, Monday, 29 October 2007 05:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, Sabotage is a goddam prog-metal masterpiece! Praise be to Chuckles Eddy for introducing me to it via his awe-inspiring metal book.
(I still can't believe how well this mix works, Matt!!)
― JN$OT, Monday, 29 October 2007 07:53 (sixteen years ago) link
Great... now if only there was an episode of Yacht Rock about the making of It's Alright...
― Rombald, Monday, 29 October 2007 09:17 (sixteen years ago) link
This is one of those things that bounced around my mind thinking "wouldnt it be awesome if...."
and now its been done.

It's great stuff. These guys were f'in geniuses and didn't even know it.

"Changes" is great -- a power ballad for werewolves.
What else is great: this mix! THANX!

Are there any threads on ILM devoted to making compilations that showcase a side of an artist that might not immediately spring to mind when one thinks of said artist?
― MarkoP, Wednesday, 22 January 2014 20:13 (ten years ago) link
Here's a heavier, but hopefully more blues rock Sabbath compilation I made influenced by the quiet comp.

Some concert-cruising with "Eyes of the World" might fit---?

"Playin' in the Band"?

I’d say you could definitely make a soft rock ozzy album out of the power ballads etc in his solo career. One would definitely have to include the duet with Lita Ford.
