I think this did come up at one point or another. Hypothetical Recommendations: Ae's EP7 Alec Empire's Destroyer Any Noisex album Winterkalte's Structures of Destruction Mat101's Goodbye Mum Pole a little fuckstorung? Try it, let me know how it turns out. > >(sorry for the cross post) > >I've been on this list for quite some time now (mostly an observer) and >have >noticed that nobody talks about sex and music on here. In fact, nobody >talks about sex and music hardly anywhere. This puzzles me somewhat, as I >see the two and sometimes going hand in hand. Similarly, both are a >natural >part of life for me, and I assume that they must be for others as well. >Why >not discuss the two together in a mature, unperverted way? > >Sometimes I listen to electronic music and see it as being *about* sex. >And >I'm not just talking about the kind of music that DJ Funk spins, either. >I'm talking about a lot of house music, and a lot of techno and IDM, too. > >Take SVEK, for example. This fine Swedish techno seems especially lent to >the activity of fornication. Certain tracks and artists in particular, but >the label as a whole, too. What about Bola? Anyone daring enough for Ae? >Or Moodymann? > >Then you have something like Carl Craig's Psyche/BFC "Elements", which to >me, in its entirety, is the story of sex. Ending with "Sleep," of course. >;) >(has anyone else had this idea about "Elements"?) > >House music is the obvious candidate here, what with the pulsing bass lines >and general thumping around. Groans from those exotic divas we've been >discussing as of late and the rest. > >Sometimes the sex in our music is subtle, and other times obvious. >Sometimes we use music for or with sex in obvious ways and sometimes in >subtle ones. > >I'm curious as to what others thing of music and sex--how they relate them, >if they don't, etc. And I'm not curious in a pervvy kind of way, I'm >curious >in a musical kind of way. We often talk of how music impacts our lives; >affecting emotions, ways of thinking, perception, but it is so seldom that >I >see people opening up to talk about music with another natural aspect of >life: sex. What are the parallels or connections between sex and music, if >any? > >Any comments? > >______________________________________________________ >Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
