A Jaguar is Forever

DJ Rolando's "Jaguar" is one of the greatest pieces of techno ever made...Its about Aztec warriors (link). Every string is a piece of heaven. It's beautiful, and I love it! - Earlier in the year, Sebastien Leger, released his 128 BPM progressive version of the track. It's gotten a lot of criticism for not being able to stand up to the original (or the Jeff Mills remix) and while I do agree with a lot of it, as a stand alone track; Leger made something that makes me feel good, and has worked really well whenever I've played it, and is pretty cool for what it is.

DJ Rolando / The Aztec Mystic - "Jaguar" (2000)
Sebastien Leger - "Jaguar" (2008)

The original is available in high-quality via Underground Resistance
Leger's version is on Mistakes Music

This post is flame bait and I'm biting. I think most of the criticism isn't whether the leger cover "stands up" to the original, so much as that it wasn't even at all necessary. It was just a cash-in option for leger that added nothing to the original. I'm still unsure of whether or not Rolando and Mike get paid royalties off the sales of leger's version, and if they don't, well that's just a crime. Anybody with half a brain realizes the original is a timeless classic and the cover is just a cheap ripoff. Whether it makes you "feel good" and "worked really well" is pretty far from relevant.

this post brings back memories

ahhh the memories

best post on POS in ages, go joee. I wish we would just dig this shit back up all the time, since blogmusic is liek the snake eating its own tail now; we oughtta refer to days when the only critics were on the floor.

word up jamie!
awesome post.
kudos joee!
it makes me feel good too.

Please, you can give any other tracks but you can not give for free Jaguar. It's sacred, you do not download Underground Resistance or any related labels for free. You got to respect the artist's work, especially when it is so pure and beautiful like Knight Of The Jaguar is.

I know it's only 192kbps, but still, the track can be listen almost everywhere on the internet, youtube for example. You don't have to give it.

Anonymous said...

@nothuman you know jaguar is downloadable on other blogs and dozens and dozens of file transfer sites and rapidshare libraries, right?

Prince Money said...

Joee

BIG ONE, JAGUAR IS THE FUCKIN ANTHEM!!!!!

JoeeIrwin said...

LOVE IT!!!!

nothuman said...

So because every blogger on the internet give the track you have to do it too ? I don't read the others blogs you mention, and I don't use rapidshare or else for downloading music.

I just say you don't have to give the original Jaguar to say "hey, I like the motherfu**** crappy Leger's version, it makes me feel good". If you want to educate people to good music you can do it without giving a track for free in a crappy encodage. You have to respect Underground Resistance, you have to buy theyre records, you have to support related labels/artists, because they've created something beautiful. And if you like it, you don't download it, or you're as pathetic as Sebastien Leger.

Boo,now every blog kid will be playing this inbetween the latest Crookers remix or whatever fidget crap they like that week. Somethings should be left to be discovered on their own

Anonymous said...

they put this track on the PS2 racing game Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition - great track to race through a city at night! ;)

dubbel dutch said...

to anonymous number 2.

perhaps, but some of those "blog kids" will go sifting through the history of house and find a wealth of inspiration, somebody has to first clue them in.

im tired of people who talk about house and techno as being so sacred and pure. if you claim to support this artist then why does the thought of some kid rinsing this out upset you?

apparently they wouldn't have to dig TOO deep to find it anyway, peep the post below yours.

stop sippin' and boo to you sir.

jean baptiste said...

You are aware original is a little less than 138 BPM and most of today's techno djs never reach that speed, yes? - Leger's track is not as good but he produced it for himself and released it after demand!

cz said...

@jean baptiste - never heard of pitch control? i hear they're making them these days with extreme settings like +32% with pitch correction even, not just +/-8! see, it goes both ways too. :P

in all seriousness, the tempo of a cut at 0 pitch is a complete non-issue. a great dj can work any cut in to certain effect, it just takes finesse and a little foresight.

maybe you've just never heard any great djs.

Leif said...

the point of blogs are to let cats out of bags. if it wasn't for internet piracy, we wouldn't have figurehead pioneers like crystal castles and m.i.a. at all. i doubt dj rolando made this shit thinking it'll be an underground fade away instead of the hit it is.

Roy Manseras said...

Hi, this is very interesting. I hope you would continue this advocate to spread your good news. By the way, I have a site which offers Free E-Books for computers, programming, cooking lessons, sexy magazines and so much more. Please visit my Free E-Book Downloads website. Thanks.

cz said...

@Leif - I think you just convinced me to shut down my blog and stop reading others if crystal castles and m.i.a. are the result!!! Aside from that, your comment is relatively incoherent. Good job!

Leif said...

hmm relatively incoherent? please enroll in college before you revisit our blog please. thanks.

cz said...

@leif - what is that supposed to mean? your comment was relatively incoherent. it puzzled me to no end. "i doubt dj rolando made this shit thinking it'll be an underground fade away instead of the hit it is." this is actually probably pretty far from true. i imagine rolando thought that not many outside of a small circle of friends and a few techno nerds would ever hear jaguar. so, your comment seemed relatively (as in "comparatively") incoherent (as in "difficult to understand").

dig?

Dekker said...

Leif wins!

Leif said...

dude. so you're saying that if you made a song, for any reason, and a major label stole the song and the rights to it, you wouldn't want blogs to be posting up your original?

hypnotyza said...

@ Leif - i'm not going to comment on Leger's "remake". HOWEVER...

most anyone who made a song (as you say, "for any reason") wouldn't want their shit given away on a blog without their permission, which is *exactly* what's happening here.

quite possibly TWICE, since it is POSSIBLE (though not probable) that Leger is paying royalties.

i've got no problem downloading mashups, and non-officially released tracks from this site, but this is a clear case of taking money out of someone's pocket...especially someone as respectable as the UR crew.

additionally, know a little bit about that of which you speak before you pick a battle. Rolando and/or the UR crew give approximately less than a fuck about being "popular" or "mainstream". it is well documented.

you really do not want any part of an intellectual battle with CZ. he has forgotten more than you'll ever know about dance music, and will bend you over a chair in the "not good" way.

cz said...

@leif - I am pretty sure Rolando/Mike and Sony managed to work something out regarding the mishap with Sony's initial release of Jag, and I'm somewhat sure that Mike (reluctantly?) gave Leger his blessing too. I never said anything about whether it benefits or harms UR to post the track.

I don't think Mike and crew are crying about getting paid, but they obviously have never gone out of their way to make hits. They do what they do because they have to, they do what they do as a community of ghetto guys in detroit. That's straight truth.

@hypnotyza - get off my dick ;)

Anonymous said...

this is an 8 year-old track and that's largely unknown by people reading palms out or discobelle or big stereo or whatever blog!! and it's available for download all over the internet. even with a video, the majority of the blog generation wouldn't be familiar with this track and wouldn't spend a dime on it regardless.

so let me ask you all:
given the views of underground resistance, do think they would take priority? a track (readily pirated on the internet) given away to people who wouldn't buy the track or their message being passed down to a new audience years later?

@hypnotyza

coool. i really just wanted to start that discussion because both our blog and his puts up many musician's work. cz, do you get permission for every song on your blog? i personally appreciate it when i see someone has plugged my track. and as someone involved with blogging, producing, and distribution, it's interesting to note that the tracks that get blogged the most are the ones that sell the most digitally. so, the more the original track is promoted, legally or not, the more pennies they get

cz said...

@leif - Huh? What? My blog is decidedly NOT an mp3 blog. I've posted only two complete tracks ever. One I posted on the day after the election and admittedly I did not ask Ce Ce Rogers nor Marshall Jefferson permission to post it. The other track I posted was given directly to me for the express purpose of posting it by Tampopo, whom I featured in a lengthy interview. I made the decision early on to not make mine just another free mp3 blog. There are plenty of those out there.

Leif said...

oh, i consider mixtape and radio pods as well since the non-djs don't care about bit rate

cz said...

@leif - It's pretty long standing that promotional dj mixes are by and large acceptable to most artists as reasonably fair use. Honestly, though, your pathetic attempt at making me look foolish grows tiresome. I didn't comment on this post to get into a fight over internet mp3 sharing. I never begrudged you your mp3 giveaway posts, so arguing about that is pointless. I only commented that leger's cover of jaguar is unnecessary bullshit, the original was nearly flawless and couldn't really be improved upon. End of story.

wow this new remake is a huge improvement.

Jaguar is not an underground track. I first heard in on the Eins Live Loveparade 2000 broadcast. That's not underground.
