Trying to find the bassline of this song is a fucking challenge. Every single time you think you get it you listen to it carefully and the bassline says "not quite" ive.literally deciphered 85% of all crystal castles songs with no issue but this song drives me insane Edit: the chord im stuck on is the first one. I hear A "G" vibrating between two octaves but I play it alongside the song and it doesnt sound right. Every other note sounds correct. I hear GGGG,EbEbEbEb,BbBbBbBb,DDDD GGGG,EbEbEbEb,BbBbBbBb, CCCC The first chord fucking me up! Edit: Nvm, I fucking got it! Its not really hard but its definitely different from the traditional basslines.
it may just be me; but if you listen to some of the unreleased crystal castles songs back to back, they fit together perfectly. i was listening to no skin today, and the end of it like fit right into trash hologram. same thing with 'rot' going into 'dolls'. this may be a coincidence; does anyone know more about this?
God this takes me back to freshman year of HS and being a tiny 13yr old being obsessed with Alice. I'm 25 now and hearing this makes me feel so nostalgic 💓
I wrote a song to this instrumental about the transmission of HIV, using the words 'No Skin' as a metaphour for no condom, and as a reference for the illness (He's got no skin, now I've got no skin)... Strange...
@@halfaaxxawell good news after almost 10 years I found the notebook I wrote it in lmfao, here it is! (i wrote this when i was like 13-15 lol so it’s not very good) No skin (victim version) i looked into the night and I saw his smile i wonder where did i saw him for the first time maybe i did in my sweetest dreams or in my deepest nightmares either way i believed that i should join his darkness he told me all those things that i did believed that it wasn’t him, that he wasn’t ill he said he could fly, that he was the one but all that he did was take everything from me including my skin, now i've got no skin he's got no skin, now i've got no skin (x2) i'm blinded by it, i'm completely ill and now i'm exposed, completely expose help me and during the night that i was trying to survive i was asking for help but it was denied now that i’m possessed i don’t know what to imply my flesh and mu veins are dissolving cause of you now that i feel so ashamed i won't go anywhere you took all that was left except for my stress now i look for you, you are gone why didn’t i realised sooner that you got no soul
This song maybe made me feel like I was riding a technicolor dream rainbow with big flashing halogen laser warrior lights and and comet tail with infinite amounts of marlboro reds.
all there music makes me feel like when ur lightheaded or on acid or almost any drug and you just feel dizzy and OD or when it’s 4am and ur walking at the beach and hear voices
Back to school they used to say. During day we played. Change in season meant being sent to prison of mental decay. Ripped out my ruler like a dragons bane blade took it across teachers head and said Im not taking the chemistry quiz today
I can tell there's a sample from a Pornophonique song on here from someone who plays a gameboy. I'm pretty sure I've heard it before. But of course Ethan rearranges it in such a unique and original way so that it's totally different from the original sample. I can tell that's why this one wasn't released. I'm pretty sure I read in an interview once that he made a few songs early on that used samples of sounds he wanted to make and used them before he knew how to make them himself.
@owca19 You know, i think that there is a kind of game with the songs.. something very special that probably will be a creepy pasta in some years.. im so intrested in find what is back of all this strange sounds and sometimes non-sense words..
Yes well I know for some of there unreleased songs there do use the same samples but remix them more and overlap that sample with others etc. welcome to the world of modern technology! ;)
I got my copy from a file sharing program back in 2008. It was not included on their album. Lots of artists had songs that never ended up on albums, but did get posted on RUclips by fans who recorded it live, or saved on someone's hard drive. File sharing allowed you to search other people's hard drives and find obscure stuff that perhaps even the person who owned the hard drive had forgotten about. Thus, one found obscure Crystal Castles music. Also, if you liked someone's taste in music, you could just get their whole collection and find artists you probably would have never otherwise have heard of. Crystal Castles became known throughout the entire world with no advertising whatsoever and people cared. The music industry paid money to advertise their favourite upcoming artists and nobody cared. That bothered them.
@@beyondwhatisknown wow! thats so cool man.. i only found out about crystal castles 3 years ago and through them i found my love for electronic music, i still haven’t found a band that comes close to them they‘re just so unique its sad that they dont make any music anymore. i wish i would‘ve known them when they were still a thing, do you maybe have a few band recommendations?
@@Helloimsisi It's mathematically impossible for the variables that govern the universe, human behaviour, and musical ability to produce another combination like "Ethan Kath" and "Alice Glass" any time in the next thousand years in my estimation. If you'd like to console yourself while that limitation slowly sinks in, you could search every other Toronto band to get at that "Cold as a Bay Street Banker's Heart" sound such as Rush or Platinum Blonde (Subdivisions) (It Doesn't Really Matter), or perhaps see The Chemical Brothers or Aphex Twin from England, maybe hear "Today" by Smashing Pumpkins to understand depression although it isn't nearly as deep as Alice's, or listen to Crystal Castles's friends and collaborators Health and Pictureplane (Gothstar) (Air War cover -- if you can find it).
anyone else think this song is true fucking art
Me, was just thinking this is nearly masterpiece level

This song makes me feel like I'm inside a video game.

its atonal
Isn’t it an arpeggiated bassline?

Yes,I understand you
go all the way "under the silver lake" into it, you'll find some fucked up shit..

I feel like this might be about the reproduction of the human species and that it will result in inevitable chaos

dude sameeee, I remember watching skins and bumping CC back in 2009, the memories are still there but fading
i am currently a tiny 13yr old obsessed with alice 🫶
I would tune everyone out during lunch and just listen to CC. Best times of my life tbh
literally same. crystal castles was my high school obsession

No skin (victim version)
i looked into the night and I saw his smile
i wonder where did i saw him for the first time
maybe i did in my sweetest dreams or in my deepest nightmares
either way i believed that i should join his darkness
he told me all those things that i did believed
that it wasn’t him, that he wasn’t ill
he said he could fly, that he was the one
but all that he did was take everything from me
including my skin, now i've got no skin
he's got no skin, now i've got no skin (x2)
i'm blinded by it, i'm completely ill
and now i'm exposed, completely expose
help me
and during the night that i was trying to survive
i was asking for help but it was denied
now that i’m possessed i don’t know what to imply
my flesh and mu veins are dissolving cause of you
now that i feel so ashamed i won't go anywhere
you took all that was left except for my stress
now i look for you, you are gone
why didn’t i realised sooner that you got no soul
You just shot one down!
You started a chain reaction that will kill us all..
My first time hearing this in a few years...I like it a lot more now.
Crystal castles will live on!
LucKiXCX ehhh maybe not
I can't believe Crystal Castles predicted Fortnite
yo me declaraba fan a morir y no conocia esta rola!
