Oh No----Ohh no brother Egg!
U're right, I am not saying that. And you hit it dead on the head. I know
that many of these artists are desperately trying to create something "new"
and cant even master the old(whatever that might be, the 4/4 style I am
speaking of here). I was going to post 2 the list my thoughts on this
matter....AGAIN.
Its like Jazz for you jazz lovers, you find those youngsters nowadays trying
to do something new, say Kenny G(I hate to mention artists again but there
are so, so many SISTAS who use him as an example of Jazz that I just wanna
beat my head into the concrete--to stop the excruciating pain of that awful
name and sound he produces). Fact is, and this is what a Hank Mobley or a
Dexter Gordon would say, how can 1 begin to create something new when 1
hasn't mastered the old......besides the old is the basis from where the new
must emerge!
Egg my friend if I bought Ae thinking it was to sound like Stasis but
didn't.....D-day is all I can say!

Yeah kelley, but you're not saying that the new stuff should be like the
old stuff. You know what you like; you know what you're looking for.
You're not buying new releases under the assumption that it's going to
sound like older stuff.
You're wary of new releases because you *know* they probably don't sound
like what you're looking for. You don't buy the newest Autechre thinking
it'll sound like old Stasis and then get all pissed when it doesn't, right?
You already know that it's something you probably don't like, and just
don't buy it.
It's one thing to say "this is the type of music I like, and this album
doesn't sound like that, so I don't like it," and a completely different
thing to say "i like this type of music, and this artist doesn't make it
[anymore], therefore this artist's music is complete shit and no one else
should buy it because my opinion qualifies for everyone!"
