shitting on their own legend

It's why people like Terry Riley and Wendy Carlos initially sound wrong to people like my parents, despite not using 12 tone equal temperament, because they have little idea of the total way in which rhythm and melody are forged in asiatic musics. Hence the multiple numbers of tala or usul which must correspond to certain time periods and aspects of a performance based on certain progressions.

as you can hear here the band is not limited by diatic counterpoint. What is necessary is to remain in the same mode and progress from then onwards. But the piece does not require all the melodic voicings to be changed in relation to other melodic voicings, which is why you get all those strange pitch bends.

i.e. chord progressions?

Technically yes. My point was a bit broader than that though. They just played three power cords ad nauseam without trying to subvert it. Which would be fine if they weren't highly derivative. so if you break down their melody into its component single notes you get something very dull. You can do this with paulstretch in audacity, set the stretch to go at 5.00 in audacity and you'll hear what I mean.

It's not that they are shit. I am vaguely indifferent to them. They are the most derivative of the derivative, a good 30 years out of date. It's embarrassing for a man of Luke's sophistication to like them. Seen as his poetry is supposed to be modernist, épater le bourgeois. It's like bigging up Russell Brand's book on revolution. Dire.

He might as well get into Arcade Fire, Fleet Foxes, Sasha and Digweed, Caribou, Hot Chip, etc etc. Peak Muggsycore.
