oh my god, i can't believe you said that! though i do remember mylsef
saying many years back that RDJ had no talent, i am aware now that i was
somehow mislead by industrial music. "I Care..." has some of the
greatest melodies i've ever heard. "RDJ Album" has some funk-ass
melodies too. though i don't know what you might be looking for in a
melody, listen carefully and i'm sure you'll find it in RDJs tunes.
whistlability is a majory plus when it come to melodies, and that's why
bjork and stereolab also rule the melody-scene.
i, unfortunely, can't write melodies worth shit so i like to rely on
fractal music generation on occasion. or stick to monotonous shtuff.
