Talk:Kevin Martin (British musician)

New page

I moved this from "Kevin Martin (English musician)" because someone on the talk page posted an interview in which he discusses "taking the piss out of the English" with Kode9. Martin is possibly Scottish, though he resides in London now. In any case "British" is more correct, being a political designation, rather than an ethnic/regional one.

Someone tried to speedy-delete this, and someone else removed it. This is not a great page as is, but it cites a few sources, and Kevin Martin's work with Techno Animal (and as The Bug) is quite well-known. Aryder779 (talk) 23:49, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

I just merged in The Bug, which was requested about a year ago, with numerous assenting opinions. Aryder779 (talk) 23:57, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

The article links the subject to various groups but doesn't make clear what his role was. Did he invent them, promote them or was he merely a minor associate unworthy of note? andy (talk) 22:06, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I feel this is clear -- Martin is The Bug, and he and Broadrick are the main creative partners in Ice and Techno Animal. God was also his project. He was definitely not a "minor associate" of any of these groups. Check this source: [1] I've added more detail that should clear this up. Aryder779 (talk) 22:25, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
The confusion might be partly due to Martin's involvement in electronic music. In Ice, Techno Animal, and The Bug, Martin "produced" the music -- not in that he recorded it, but rather that he made all the music, with computers, synths, etc. In some of his other projects, God for example, Martin played saxophone, and as the major sound source -- it's not like there was some sax in the background while someone else played.

Merged from Talk:The Bug

What category should The Bug be put in? His music is kind of noise, dancehall, ragga, grime and hip hop all combined? Should it be mutant dancehall or extreme noise dancehall or something else?

I would say dubstep and reggae dancehall, essentially, but you're right, it's very difficult to classify him. DubCrazy (talk) 20:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC)DubCrazy

Merging

I think this is probably a good idea since Wikipedia usually doesn't have different articles about a musician's different aliases and the Kevin Martin article is very short and probably always will be. It seems like information about (eg) BASH and Pressure should be in the same article. I think it would probably be better to merge to Kevin Martin but maybe not.--P4k 23:05, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I believe that this does not meet WP:BIO standards for being included. Requested a more senior editor to review. C. Williams (talk) 01:47, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I am not a Wikipedia guy but I am all for it as it seems to me that The Bug is Kevin Martin's alias for solo stuff (with numerous collaborators - as opposed to steady contributors or one-time projects). The Kevin Martin article by itself is no more than an extended link page, all that info would make more sense in some kind of a context. Disclaimer: I never understood the differentiation between Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails aswell. --134.76.62.50 (talk) 12:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

In my opinion, I think it's probably more convenient to have two articles for now. DubCrazy (talk) 20:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC)DubCrazy

I suggest they should be merged, not enough on the other article to keep it seperate. There is precedent too e.g Richard D James and Polygon Window redirecting to Aphex Twin. Yorkshiresky (talk) 14:54, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Discography page

Anyone else feel that he needs a separate discography page? The section is kind of large and takes up most of his own page.--Soul Crusher (talk) 08:04, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
