anyway especially now @thirdform's waded in i've got to say that what's interesting about the "epic" is what's interesting about everyone's different senses of music. i agree that gus's picks are totally random and all over the place. personally the first thing i'd reach for if i wanted an epic would be really big loud heavy noise rock, with big cosmic chord changes and sweeping effects, not what i, personally, consider more clichéd big bass drops and vocals going 90 hitting the high notes. everyone's different 100 tracks. a canon is constructed and reached further forward. this is why you'll find not much consensus among people in this thread eh. here's my suggestion anyway:


total heavy grind that never stops and gets worse and worse, that's what i think is epic

Vaguely but nah.

That's strange because this kind of epic piano house is pretty much direct outgrowth of American garage.

UK:

USA:

Of course the USA production is better, but that's not because of any inherent cultural superiority but because UK vocal house music was mostly not very good in the 90s and all the innovation took place in jungle and techno. Similar to how US Florida and Baltimore breaks are not up to the standards of UK hardcore from the same era.

Closer than jazz funk but still not particularly close.

@mixed_biscuits is still the only board member who knows what "epic" means

This is when it starts, slowly the board slips into a geriatric haze, while Linebaugh and Version and Corpsey and I look on in horror, and it all begins here, in this thread

they're both very wholesome. a real emotional purty to them. its not disengenous either. its not cinical like toy town hradcore. its not nutty like happy hardcore. its very relatable. very human.

this plays into an innocence that they have; there's an infantalism encodaoded in them most obviously in that they both use these boy choir-esque synths.

also all these cold air signifiers. reverbs, and trebly releases and noise. sonic breeze. they;re spacious too in their way. its' parstoral. partyiign in a field or on a beach.

very poignant. tragic even. its wistufl. mourning childhood and the e dream all in one. "its a dream", even the title admits its an illusion. that its self contained and temprorary. fleeting dream s of what the world could be.

very touchign.

i sAID ABOUT THAT WOBBLY DUBSTEP THAT ITS PRE-KNOWLEDGE. in both the sense of being like a toddlar and in the sense of being before we ate from the tree of knowledge in eden.

this music properly fulfills that with irony at all.

very direcrt music.

tgis one's from my chidlhood.


very european all this stuff. very tacky and on the nose from one angle, but on tehe other hand it sounds like michaelangelos paintings o nthe cielings of the sistine chapel. the same ham fistedndess. same garish appeals to religious granduer, but it works.

also the sistine chapel has all drugy, trancey geomatry. its the same geomatry as that synth riff.

Luke chimes in

Fucking hell Barty what was you up to last night?!!

Up at 5am sobbing to trance music!

Jack is telling everyone he's battered in totally lucid sentences with all the proper punctuation and spelling while you're having a spiritual experience mind shattering ego dissolving to a Belgium trance record
