Why would you do that to yourself?:(
You're very welcome! Word of warning, though, the rest of their stuff varies greatly. They do have a couple of songs I like a lot though!
In addition, if you're looking for something similar to this song in particular, I recommend checking out Subcarpați - Pe Deal, În Văi, for instance. They follow that dark, heavy beat and the trippy progressions closer than most of everything else produced by Șuie. They also base a lot of their lyrics, structures and sampling on folkloric music from around our parts, can find something from each region!
This one's from 2003, Șuie Paparude were the most innovative Electronica act in Romania at the time (and for many years after, tbh!)
Edit: to be perfectly frank, this one doesn't really fall under Rap in terms of what else is available around here, Șuie Paparude came as a response to the MC'd Jungle which was really popular back in the '00s (D'n'B was pretty big around here as well), which is why they fell into my lap as well. I don't really have any pertinent Rap examples to offer, as I don't much consume the local variety.
To add a bit of rambling (which you can safely skip for the next paragraph), this was an interesting period in Romanian music, as our main influences were from the UK and from Europe/Russia rather than America, and it could be felt in pretty much everything. We had shades of Spice Girls, Depeche Mode's influence was felt throughout basically any "serious" internal turmoil song, there was even a lot of UB40 in our pop. Our Electronica was massively influenced by the British D'n'B and the Techno scenes.
As for the message, it's basically a highly articulated jumble of metaphors and Cool™ technobabble expressing a general sense of "lose yourself with us, ours is next-level shit."
I've attempted a very, very rough translation below - started with an automated translation which I've edited for accuracy and tried to account for language-specific idioms, so it's close-ish, sorta':
"Level I is passed from the start The starting block's only for those who dedicate themselves to a new wave Digital, transient-ambient, vibrato-fatal For those who do not have mental agreement With two-zero-zero-three subliminal Come here so I can teach you not to forget To differentiate between sitting in and participating To what, to what is heard, to Paparude, to Șuie His is the sound that forms the soul from white to black From white to integral, integral or better said Ready for a dream a bit too real, not at all subliminal Nothing is accidental, it's a digital exercise Eloquent, insane, super-elastic Straight from the world of music drawn on plastic. Straight from the world of music written on plastic Junkyard and Șuie intervene technico-tactically You have 10 seconds to start moving If you don't do that, it’ll suck for us. Straight from the world of music written on plastic Junkyard and Șuie intervene technico-tactically You have 10 seconds to start moving If you don't do it today, it’ll suck tomorrow."
For further context, Junkyard's the dude providing the vocals, and Șuie are the dudes who do the tracks.
Heh, sounds like what one of my exes used to do when she wanted some alone time, she'd throw me an informational rabbit hole and let me dive right in it for a couple of hours=)))
It has such potential! The mechanics they added are already everything one needs to create some awesome operations! Imho, I'd also polish the mechanics up a bit, like remove the rolling rubber bands and add more mass to the Railjack itself (this last one was the first thing a friend remarked when playing at release, and I agree).
Either way, every single thread could do with more fleshing out, it'd make the world feel less like a super-wide puddle and more like a cohesive, evolving thing.
The worst thing GTAO did (other than the griefing and Shark Cards) was not evolving the world with time. Staring at those construction yards which have not changed in over a decade pulls me out of the world entirely.
i can understand that, yeah. Honestly, I think it's a neat addition which serves as something else to do, speaking a someone who has nearly 3k hours in the game. It's enough on its own for the first 1.5k hours, but then the grind slowly started getting to me, at least. Adding more depth to the character interactions can always only ever be a good thing.
I do agree with you that the trend chasing tendency is pretty dangerous, and I get that distinct feeling they still rushed it a bit [edges sanded off too abruptly, some points in the flow feel jagged, people hate your guts if you tell them you won't leave them (in a positive way), etc.], and my main fear is it ending up like pretty much every other branch, kinda' like toys forgotten in the sandbox.
Personally, I would've thought of a way to deepen the mechanics, meaning build upon what's already there instead of further widening the spreadsheet of buffs and unrelated activities. And I will never shut up about how the Railjack is just begging to be used more...
Yes, it's a surprisingly deep rabbit hole.
Weirdly enough, I let him do his thing and it eventually broke down. Which seems organic, he got to trust me and no longer feels the need to secure cooperation through debt.
Unlike Lettie, who seems to be thrown even farther into avoidance the closer you get to her. Which, again, makes sense! But nah. No more, thanks... She has become yet another reason why one should never dip their pen in company ink.
You're not wrong, it really did feel like I was gaming the system with her. There are moments when you seem to break through and have a "normal" conversation (i.e. her not slamming the door in your face after your third sincere word), but this avoidant dance is making me really tired.
I seem to have reached the same point, we're Best Friends (down from Loved) and she's not messaging me anymore. Fun. I've been through this IRL more than I'd care to remember.
That awkward moment when I've been holding my mouth open for 30 minutes and my upper lip starts twitching, which causes anxiety because I must look like I'm losing my mind, so it worsens when trying to control it.
