What I am saying is there are well worn zones of feeling, big swamplands of the done to death, and certain buttons that, being pressed, instantly lead you back to that zone of affect. Ah, the soulful house hinterlands, those warm chords, ah my bubble bath, let me sink uncritically beneath the warm water. Is that an impassioned black preacher I hear? "House is a feeling" ah yes, I like this place

Bad art specialises in the pressing of these buttons.

Happy birthday Patty. You listen to whatever you like and don't worry about my carping.

He's using those references to make pretty much the same point you're making. Something that would be lost on the dilettante.

and more than that: Terre's house is drenched with queer melancholy - it's not just comfortable escapist tune-out music

It's some of the richest, most layered shit to come out of the dance music cannon in the last 10 years. It's subtle, it's not trying to impress you. In fact quite the opposite. It sends out signals that serve the dual purpose of deterring the non believers and speaking to the heads. It's also right up dissensus' alley with all the deconstruction and intellectual stuff. But yeah, def not for everyone.

You lot know, in your heart of hearts that this shit is unacceptable. Some 'ethnicy' percussion, soft shoe shuffle rhythms, some African American voices sampled from the 60s and 70s talking all smooth and rich lovely timbres, some gospelly organ squiggles, it's absolutely beyond the pale it's disgraceful. You gotta feel it in your soul baby let that groove get inside you don't be no square
