Hey Jeff, thanks for this writeup..definitely some new nooks to dive
into there. I wanted to pull this sentence out because you really
nailed a subtle and important point here. I noticed this most recently
with some of the 'deeper' Chain Reaction releases (Substance, Porter
Ricks) which did nothing for me when I first bought them back in '96
-- unlike, say, Monolake which grabbed me from the outset. But when
I picked them back up for some long-distance driving music last year,
it was revelatory.
I've heard the adjective "repetitious" applied to hip-hop, electronic
(house, techno, and trance variants), jazz, classical (Steve Reich and
Phil Glass, in particular) as the reason why somebody didn't like it.
I'm curious about how the process works whereby we (as you put it) go
"inside" a particular genre and start hearing the differences instead
of the sameness.
