Here we go again, this perpetual refrain, this bizarre notion that if one
is into an IDM genre of music, then it is assumed that this music is the
apex of our listening! I dunno, perhaps some of us just have much wider
curiousities and are hungry for all different kinds of sounds ... and
different music takes us on different journeys, takes our heads off into
totally different lands and it seems strange to me, that maybe some people
want to limit their horizons?
Pet Sounds to me is one of those perfect seminal albums, up there with
Marvin Gaye's Whats Going On, Coltrane, Miles Davis, Kraftwerk, Public
Enemy ... breakin new ground, music so pure and hardcore that time does not
dilute its essence.
and if you listen deep, what Brian Wilson was exploring therein, was
waaaaay out there, way beyond just some cheesy surf tunes!
Whilst I was ravin it up big stylee durin the Acid days, gettin totally
into hardcore techno, checkin out Aphex from his early days, junglin it up
down Rage & Speed, I was also gettin my head well and truly blown away by
people like Tony Williams (Miles Davis's ol drummer), Pharoah Sanders and
Terry Callier down the Jazz Cafe ... all sublime soundz, just different
paths ...
