teardrop, don't feel bad because if you didn't say it, I would have. The
thing I am getting tired of is that I put in a posta couple days ago about
respecting ppl's opinions. No one in this list (who doesn't like Confield)
has defamed anyone's character that I can recall. If they have, it is such
a small percentage that I must have missed it. On the other hand, how do
we know that all of those who do like Confield aren't blindly following
(Sean and Rob, forgive me if this is offensive) whatever Sean and Rob do, as
if they were following some blind religious faith.
Sean and Rob are, in my opinion, the greatest IDM artist around, they have
done everything imaginable, and I look forward to them doing more. But
that doesn't mean I can't go around saying I don't like this song, or this
album, or even saying, "what the hell were they thinking?". That is a sing
of self initiated thought, that I can actually disagree with something that
violates my core values. If ppl say things like this, it doesn't mean that
they disrespect the band, it is just how they feel about that particular
work.
Those of you who love it should continue loving it, those of us who don't
particularily care for it, well..., maybe we will get lucky and find
something meaningful in it. But that doesn't make any of us who don't like
it "less trained" as a listener than those who do. Consider, that maybe
you have a "less trained" ear for deciphering crap from genius(forgive me
again Sean and Rob), that you once heard something good and assume that from
now on it is all good because that is what we were "told" to think.
Anyway, I just see ppl on this list blasting each other on ego trips, I see
respectable people like John Balance getting ridiculed only cause some punk
didn't get it, I see that there is a lot of angst on this list, and I am
starting to question it all. I joined this list to freely discuss the
music, the making, the shows, not to see good people who work hard at what
they do get pinned down by someone's ego maniac ideas. This list is a free
discussion room, why can't ppl dislike Confield, or Autechre, or BoC,
Arovane, Aphex Twin, Nintari, Teardrop, Eggytoast, Me, you, who cares!
Just read it and go on.
PS
I respect John Balance because through all that was said about him, not once
did I see him post up another message using his "fame" to his advantage, he
let it go and I think I can learn a lot from him. Thank you John.
