just my humble opinion...lumping Plaid with Orbital...ouch. That's just
not right. And I even dig Orbital. To my ears Plaid is very original. Who
else sounds like them? Hearing a track by them, within seconds you can
tell it's them. I wish I could say the same thing about armada of Ae type
artists out there...
Ed and Andy's songwriting ability/musicality blows me away continually.
While I make music and think I could mimick Orbital's catchy but
simplistic synth lines (of course the success of that remains to be seen,
I am NOT saying I am as good as Orbital), the melodic structures, arpeggio
type stuff, and choice of synth sounds (which are smart to me because they
prove you can use what sound like semi-presets and still tell a great
story) inspire me. Plus the whole 'sense of humor' element in there music
is much appreciated.
Also note I have no formal music training, so perhaps that is why Plaid
seems to strike a chord with me moreso than all the skittery beat
melancholy melody stuff out there...
