You aren't likely to create anything of lasting value by tagging
along on some established style either.
Part A is true, but part B is false.
Part A: Look, its that same ole chime from me all the time, most IDM(and YES
its a sweeping indictment) aint shit by itself, or compared to say older
music! It has a shelf life of a year at best. That's probably why most of
you dont talk about older music by IDM artists that was good when you first
heard it but now it just gets dusty in your collection!
Fact of that matter is that Eno is quite true in his assertion, most of the
music out now aint shit, has no lasting power and its all electronic and
thought based. Re-read the quote from Dego and Marc, music should be an
emotional canvass, and computers dont have these. The programmer gets
caught up in the silly notion of doing something better...or...taking a
"new" approach..... Awwh fiddle sticks, if you new how horrible the shit
sounds to most soul-full ears, you'd stop and take up butterfly
catching......
Part B.
Quite the contrary, I have said and have heard from musicians in Detroit
that they like the different takes on Detroit Techno and Techno in
general.....and those "takes"(some of them) still have the soul-full edge
that's needed to get a crowd hopin or chill'n.
Lastly, and I hate to cause a riot, but forget about it! Most IDM
music--totally computer based with no expressed emotions--is good for a
little while, but last about as long as it takes to get to the center of
Tootsie roll tootsie pop(ahhh 1, ahhhh two..........:D!)
BTW, I have been eating "Midnight Rendezvous" by Other People Place for
breakfast each morning....and I still cant get enough of it!
