I can't believe the utter stupidity of even discussing this. THE ONLY
TIME YOU HEAR ACTUAL MUSIC IS WHEN SOMEONE PLAYS AN ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENT
WITHIN THE RANGE OF YOUR UNAUGMENTED EARS.
Everything else is DSP fuckery. Check out a copy of Mix Magazine sometime
and read one of the blow by blow descriptions of recording and mixing
a pop hit. Artists like Cex, Kid606, Kit Clayton, etc conceptually
turn the artifice of mass culture pop on their head, by flaunting and
abusing the tools the majors use to fool you into thinking you're hearing
music. It's the musical equivelant of the Centre Pompidou, with all the
ductwork and conduit on the outside.
Shit, most of y'all probably don't even LIKE music that can be made by a
human being without electricity. Judge music on whether it moves you or not.
Don't whine about the electrons people shove around.
