Hidros 3 vs SYR8
 

Both live performances, and both feature our own Sonic Youth alongside Mats Gustafsson. Do you prefer Sonic Youth performing Gustafsson's piece or the semistructured improvisation between the two?

If this poll has been done before then I sort of apologise. But not in any real sense.

SYR8 for sure.
hidros 3 is surely a nice live concept, with all the rooms and stuff, but it doesnt really work n a non-visula recording format, I think

I am going to give SYR8 a couple more listens before I vote, but I suspect that I agree with you alshabbray.

SYR8 is definitely better packaged. The SYR series are all visually appealing, and this one doubly so.

oh yes they are. but what I was trying to say that the whole hidros concept is something that you should experience live, with different members playin different rooms etc. or at least it should released on dvd or something like that to make it more accesible as a whole concept

That would be a good idea. Or perhaps the seperate audio parts could be made available at the SY homepage.

yeah. an interactive dvd where you can mix the tracks yourself like you were walking through the different rooms, would hot :) but maybe thats a little bit too far out

I actually enjoyed HIDROS 3 considerably. But, since it's recent release, I've already spent more time listening to SYR8.

syr8, more structured and more raw.

Haven't heard 8 yet.

syr8 is one of the best syr's, and you know.

i did not like Hidros 3 that much, but I think I'll order SYR8, ... there's mesrbrow on it!!

both hidros and syr 8 have their great moments. i love both
equally i think. depends on my mood wich one i love more so i cant vote.

I agree HIDROS has its moments. I quite like Kim's vox throughout.

However Steve's drumming on SYR8 gets me every time.

DO it, its really really good. unfortunately no woolvszeeyesssze

where did you buy your copy?

amazon marketplace for 6 euros, new

sell it to me for 3 Euro, why won't you?
it's used now, after all :D

oh sorry I forgot that , you will get it for free....hahahaah

syr8 hands down. hidros is ok but bores me by the time i get to the end of it. havent put it on in well over a year and that speaks volumes......

filed alongside in the fishtank and please dont leave me and experimental jet set...

Mats Gustafsson gives me a headache.

He's cute though.
