Not to discount your Omar S opinion (which while not very clearly articulated is at least refreshing compared to the universal acclaim he usually gets) but you seem to hate pretty much all music at the moment

Or have decided it's more entertaining to pretend you do

But it also underscores how, if sci fi isn’t a prediction of the future so much as a reflection of the present, then the future evoked by classic 80s and 90s Detroit techno isn’t sci fi anymore. It doesn’t feel anything like the present.

Meant to reply to this but

Ballard was right. The future became suburban boredom.

Says what I wanted to say.

There's so much land that looks like that wherever you go in the world. Liminal

Actually it's 12 PM here, perfect time to pick a fight. not my fault gmt is behind the times, literally speaking.

 

[thirdform]

Also, yes, I'm insane.

 

[thirdform]

anyway I don't mind Omar S. I don't think he's schmaltzy though. if anything he's quite restrained.

 

[thirdform]

The Naked Music roster are schmaltzy though. But not detroit.
