questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

And what are we uniting against exactly?

It's a very shiny bright sound, the first few seconds of it.

The evil forces of the undead vampires of course

Ah so you didn't actually listen, cool

We've already got a luka

No I definitely did listen all the way through it, thought it was ok, I just took up a position against it cos thirdform was into it. It didn't really have anything to do with the music at the time.

I'll try to find the quote at some point, but there's an interview I read with dj loser or one of those Greek guys doing very hard trancey music at the moment, where hes asked about why they use a lot of cheesy vocals, why this and that, and he talks about how focussing on various minor signifiers is not what they are bothered about. They don't care about genre borders between music, they just want something banging.

Elaborate. Feels like I missed a memo

A great title for an album and a flawless tabloid headline.

I normally hate having the interpretation of the painting but in this case I think it's necessary, cos it's maybe a bit difficult to see. Basically they are having a scrap whilst they sink into mud. The fight is sort of pointless cos the mud will get them first.

liberals. no spunk. No commitment, no singularly insularly pedantic courage and determination to truly fuck with peoples heads. like Joy Orbison. Are you gonna die on this hill? You are very mean to Simon.

What are you on about now?

I think the other thing though, going back to 808 state, what stops me loving them, is that theres no human voice in amongst the machine, and i tend to favour the combo of the two wrapped up together.

Not necessarily always, i like autechre, for example, and this collab between dean blunt and delroy edwards


But generally speaking. Which is why i prefer, say, voodoo ray, to flow coma.

fuck the human voice! this is machine music. go get into samba or peruvian cumbia or jazz funk (the good early 70s stuff) if you want humanistic dance music. this music is supposed to sound alien-y incomprehensible. (I mean it's electronic for a bloody reason ain't it!) otherwise 70s dance music is far more rhythmically and melodically sophisticated on the whole. noone wants the human here, we just want cathode rays

 

[thirdform]

disown your feelings, save them for your skunthorpe mates.

 

[thirdform]

this is the brilliant humanistic dance music.
