Point taken, but I personally thought that Atol Scrap by Arovane was one of
his unique-sounding albums - alot of his earlier works sorta just ran
together. It was hard for everyone I knew to hear any of his earlier stuff
and then pinpoint which album it was off of.
And as far as what artists go through to get a tune done, good question. To
me, though, it doesn't matter if they had a song in their head for weeks and
then mapped it out on their equipment, or they came up with a tune by just
farting around with something. Arovane probably does both former and
latter. :) I agree, certain artists just reek of that "hey, I came up with
this cool tune whilst farting around" sound. Like Muslimgauze. No offense
to anyone else in the mailing list, but I think that Muslimgauze sucks. All
of his crap runs together from his 120 - 125 something damn albums. Just my
humble opinion.....
