you wrote: should music be liked because of the difficulty of it's production? I write: Interesting story you have, I find myself in a similar boat. I'm always trying to figure out how people do waht they do, and I too miss the time when I didn't have a clue. However, if anything, I had an opposite reaction than you in regards to repitive type music. I find myself listening to *more* repitive stuff, because it serves as a release from thinking about song production/ structure too much. For example, all the Basic Channel/Chain Reaction stuff. I love that shit. I've been into heavily since last summer; it's the music I fall asleep to. It's all about a simple simple vibe. Nothing more. I think it would be harder (for me) to make 'simple music like that', because you have to abandon the snobbery angle, which to some extent I too am afflicted with... Nate
