i hate to bring this up kinda, cuz i know it gets flamed and people get
worked up about it.
but i also know that due to ignorance people shrug off house and its
offshoots and miss a lot of good music.
if you're ever interested, please hit me up offlist for some good names
in any style of house.
there's even good stuff that's not german/glitch/minimal out there!! :-O
imagine that !!!
a lot of IDMers feel a cut above the rest when it comes to taste in
music and all around knoweldge. rightfully so. our interest, dissection,
and research of it probably parallels only that of people fond of
classical music, seeing as we find beauty in complex theory and
composition not found in much other music thats around now. generally
speaking. some of you just like acidy breaks and jungle on angel dust
hardcore regardless of it all. :P
but people cluster it with trance, and to me what sets this music apart
from the other styles of "traditional" dance music is the fact that it's
not trying to sound "future" and the inspiration isn't useless energy
and striking drug-induced chords for an "oooo ahhh" effect. instead it's
inspired by roots music, reeks of city life, and connects on a more deep
level, one that puts your emotions on like shoes and starts
walking/runnin/dancing/sitting/thinking/whatever.
and even though the glitch may be missing, quality music of that style
is still out there running parallel to idm, even though the ethic of
sound manipulation and experimentation is not the main focus, but rather
something that makes it stand out when it is an element.
anyway, blather blather.
if you're interested in expanding your knoweldge to a) maybe find
something you like, b) validate your opinion that it's crap, or c) give
you something to do while you clock in hours and take a break from k10k,
newstoday, onion, or homestarrunner at your poor bosses' expense. your
poor boss. he slaves over a hot stove in the snow uphill both ways if
he's lucky, to pay your check, and that's what you repay him with? the
shame!! :)
take care, dear turbos, flashes, chiefs, captains, champs and
champettes.
alland.
ps. if you dont, then at least throw on something different today...
some hall & oats, earth wind & fire, donna summer, bowie (fame and
golden years are my favs), liquid liquid, esg, moroder, salsoul even...
or something!
