Yes indeed. Ocean Machine is by far my favorite album of his and probably one of my personal top 5 albums. Ziltoid is not far behind that though and that says a lot considering that it has the worst drum sounds on any pro album I've heard in recent history. Its obviously DFH in EZdrummer not Superior. I'm with CJWall...I used those samples enough way back in the day to know them anywhere. They were cool back in 2000, but not anymore. Great album regardless!

This was obviously programmed, but...
I don't give a fuck.
And you shouldn't either. At this point, it doesn't matter. He'd sound godlier than we could ever hope by hitting tin cans with dead squirrels, just fucking because. Him making an album that badass with total disregard for details like that pretty much makes me want to stop bothering with this shit altogether sometimes.
And, yes, if it's not obvious enough, right now is one of those times.

Whenever I listed to Ziltoid, it's always a huge reality check. I often obsess so much about little details and new gear and all kinds of crap to sound 'better,' never realizing that the most important part is the music, anyways, and that my recording setup is a giant, glorified writing tool.

Do you find inspriation there though?
I sure as hell do when I plug into my amp and hear the tone that reminds me of so many great albums, yet at the same time is my own.

I think I'm at the point where the quality of my recordings doesn't detract from the overall music, which is all it really needs to be, you know? I love when it sounds great, definitely, but I really get more inspiration out of listening to what great things others have done with 'cheapie' gear or 'less than stellar' production, than from the most godly guitar or drum tone on the latest Sneap production.
I definitely agree with you there, dude, but that being said, the music can really suffer if you don't have, say, a really punchy percussion session to slam the beat home...relatively speaking though, I'm with you
