Which SYR gets yout juices flowing?

toxic johnny · 03.22.2006, 10:25 AM

Ok this is my first poll ever...

Partly inspired by Hip Priest's marvelous poll usage and some chit chat about the SYR's.

Also as far as I know there hasn't been a poll about them before so this should be interesting.

Go for it.

Isoflurane · 03.22.2006, 10:30 AM

I say. You only let us choose one.
I like multiples. As far as getting my juices flowing, I've only fucked to 1-3.

Hip Priest · 03.22.2006, 10:35 AM

Thanks, toxic. I've had practice on the Fall forum though, so I'm an old hand really!

I think SYR6 is a stupendous piece od work. It's certainly equal to if npot better than the best improvised work by other artists. At times it feels almost scored, but I suspect this is because the group were performing along to a selection of Stan Brakhage films and therefore had something to guide them.

Marvellous.

Anagrama is the best instrumental ever made by SY imo

Inhuman · 03.22.2006, 10:48 AM

I haven't heard them all, but some of my favorite Sonic Youth songs are on SYR 5.

!@#$%! · 03.22.2006, 04:50 PM

haven't got a hold of syr6 yet. anyone care to review?

krastian · 03.22.2006, 04:54 PM

Voted....1-3 are my favorite. SYR 6 is better than I expected it to be.

AllHandsOnTheBigOne · 03.22.2006, 04:58 PM

I've only heard 1-4. So far SYR 1 is my favorite.

noisemachine · 03.22.2006, 05:01 PM

I only have SYR4...not a fan. I want to try some of the other ones though. I'll probably get whatever one wins this poll...so vote wisely.

toxic johnny · 03.23.2006, 01:18 PM

A bump for more votes

screamingskull · 03.23.2006, 01:24 PM

GOD, i dont have any of the SYR series yet. ive thought about buying then a few times before but havent because they are so expensive everywhere.
guess ive gotta save up some money.

IntoTheGroovey · 03.23.2006, 02:31 PM

I like SYR 1 the best.

stirling · 03.23.2006, 02:48 PM

Ponce de Leon never found
the fountain of youth
Blessed in Zion
Yout' Juice

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 03.23.2006, 02:56 PM

I've only got the first SYR so I can't be sure. Heard parts of all of them though. Maybe SYR5 because its more noisey, Kim's SYR I call it.

Fox · 03.23.2006, 03:53 PM

Invito al Cielo is my favorite one...

I'd say:

1) SYR3: Invito al Cielo
2) SYR1: Anagrama
3) SYR6: Koncertas Stan Brakhage Prisiminimui
4) SYR4: Goodbye 20th Century
5) SYR5
6) SYR2: Slaapkamers met Slagroom

But they are all great (I gave them all 18/20 in my reviews)

thats deffinetly not true imo.
anagrama is one of sy's finest for sure but there are soooo many other good instrumentals - tremens for example on the same ep.
that tune makes me wet.

golden child · 03.23.2006, 06:27 PM

SYR 1 the first one i heard and still my fav

(but ive only heard 1-3)

HaydenAsche · 03.23.2006, 06:28 PM

Never heard them. I'd probably like them.

o o o · 03.23.2006, 06:52 PM

the last time i was asked this on the old board, i chose syr3... now i don't know, i would have to listen to them again.
alas, the majority of my record collection - including all syrs but one - are far away from me at the moment... so i just cannot vote right now...

plus i still haven't managed to listen to syr6 because i could not find it in a shop... (and i don't want to order it, because i still assume i should be able to find it in a "real" record store)

Kannibal · 03.24.2006, 12:35 PM

yes, 3 also.
