> And hey, Brian Flanagan, how sad can you get? People discuss electronic > musical instruments, sample cutting up techniques and so on on this > list, and this is just as important to making good music. ###SELF DEFENCE MODE ENGAGED### #identify...target.....# good music must be in key yes??? no stray notes or bizarre ornamentation?? > I certainly > appreciate knowing whether a CD will have out of tune samples hehehe....how utterly utterly snobbish....you ARE joe satriani!!!!!...one hand typing must be your forte as your other must be continually stroking your chin... so, for example "vodka" (a VERY out of tune track) by mike and rich is a bad track???...makes me laugh my ass off and scares me to death at the same time.....I'd class that as making it a good piece of music.. let's list a few more "skippable tracks" shall we? yes?? no??? ah why not... "nlogax" - boards of canada "aquabahn" - drexciya "trapped" - hellinterface - probably the best example I can think of @ present almost everything by ectomorph well, you've heard it now.....all reviews on IDM must now have notes on sample tuning... is this variable by degrees???....how out of tune is a musician allowed to be in your impeccably trained ears?? I thought a tune was either good, bad or average, obviously I neglected this factor... I must now burn all my I-F 12"s....as they seem to be not 100% in key.. I myself thought that what makes music good is... 1.attitude 2.feeling 3.soul I can just see it now....a dingy practice room in soho circa '77 john lydon : "SID YOU TWAT!!...NO!! I WILL NOT CONTINUE WITH THIS RENDITION OF GOD SAVE THE QUEEN IF YOU CONTINUE TO CLASH SO INHARMONICALLY WITH MY VOCAL TONES!" sid v.:"Shiiiit....sorry mate, I'm still fucked from last nights gig...hang on..where's my bass technician????" > than much of the uninformative crap we usually read in CD reviews as I say....good or bad is obviously not good enough for you... > Anal? I don't think so. Perhaps you think so because you're tone deaf, so...basically, you mean"i can listen to music better than you??". > in which case it's like a colour blind person going "For god's sake, > stop all this anal babbling about red and green, who cares?" terrible analogy.... we are all capable of listening to the music we love on this list, so obviously you DO think you can "listen" to music better than me.... Yeah, finished, I bet you're not....... ;) out of tune, out of touch, well in line.... Bri
