New Wave Outpost Forum

As a musicial artist I basically thought he stunk and was just very inconsistant and not very commerical enough.I know I tend to say that I don't like alot of commercial or top 40 New Wave artists,but for someone like Malcolm,i always felt that with his songs and music,that there was no choice for him to be nothing but top 40,or anyway to avoid being just that,and by and large his music was just the opposite.

Certain artists that basically cannot cut it as a non mainstream artist,have no choice and have to go to more of a mainstream style and sound,but since Malcolm never went that route and was just one of these artists,except with "Buffalo Gals" His music style basically was not very liked by most New Wave fans.I didn't care for that African Zulu style at all.And most New Wave fans that I know didn't either.Now had Malcolm stayed with the more commercial sound and style of "Buffalo Gals" I think that he would have been alot more successful.But that was not to be.

Now don't get me wrong as a record producer and as a manager, I thought that he did good and alot for Bow Wow Wow, and The Sex Pistols.But as a music artist himself, he just couldn't cut it at all.Does anyone else feel the same way about Malcolm and his music?

You know, I understand your points, but I think this guy had a great VISION...even beyond the Pistols (and in my opinion, that was enough to hang anyone's hat on for life).

He probably had better ideas than necessarily the abiltity to execute them....h

And Duck Rock is still a great album [:)]

Other than Buffalo Gals I really did not care for the Duck Rock album.It was way too unorganized,and not my style.Like I said before I don't care for his African Zulu style.He was a great producer and manager for Punk and New Wave artists,that I give him

Do any of you own the EP D'Ya Like Scratchin'? Basically a collection of remixes from Duck Rock's more hip hoppy tracks. Absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended if you love Art of Noise or any of the other ZZT stuff. That coupled with the last track

That's a great analogy to Art Of Noise uofsc! Didn't really occur to me before, but of course it is Trevor Horn messing around in the studio with switches, scrambling the beats and stuff like that. I think some of the mixes on the EP turned up on the 'Buf

Can't stand Malcolm, I'm afraid, a ruthless cultural vampire exploiting and preying upon people for his own poseurish self-promotional projects. He's a Situationist master manipulator who worked well in the media to sensationalise the punk movement to tho

I have it as a wma file, let me know if you need it.
