why like electronic music

i like just sticking to my electronic music.
which have no lyrics.
i find the human voice Disgusting and annoying. most of
today's artists try and sound all
so "Spiritual, and Deep. cut the bull shit, and keep it for
yourself or write it in a diary

electronic music is all about sound not themes, personal
struggle ect

sometimes vocals can ruin songs but sometimes they make
songs better. the most emotional songs i have, im sorry to
say, arnt electronic.

I like some electronic music because it opens up a new range
of musical possibilities like different sounds and sequences
that are impossible to do live.
I listen to all kinds of music though, electronic music is
only a small portion of it.

human voice is very important sometimes...
for example dntel- the most fantastic tracks from "life is
full of possibilities" are the vocal ones.
and what "do you know squarepusher" would be without this
wicked vocals? :o)

I just like MUSIC... whether it's electronic, acoustic,
lyrics, no lyrics, whatever... I just like MUSIC. I love
voices, but I love instrumentals.\

If you find the human voice disgusting and annoying, well...
sucks to be you. It's nice to have variety.

when you have almost endless possibilities choosing sounds
for your music, why would you always choose the electric
guitar, the electric bassguitar, the drumset and the stupid
vocals?

most 'electronic' acts are less limited than the mainstream
and uses these instruments less frequently since there is so
much else to choose from.

an intruments dosent always have to be a guitar, bassguitar
or drumset. for example richard used sand paper and a
blender once

I'm indifferent towards vocals. . . a song can be great
without them, a song can be great with them, whether we're
talking about electronica or not!

more mainstream bands nowadays are exploring into the use of
other instruments and different styles.
radiohead would be an overused-example.

what's wrong with being "spiritual and deep"? It's quite
good when they put ideas in peoples' heads, i dont mean
brainwashing them, i mean giving them another way to look at
something. Metaphors are beautiful.

I personally think that the human voice is beautiful, kings
of convenience would be a great example of beautiful
singing.

vocals can sound good and sometimes even make sense (very
rarely though), but that's not the reason most 'musicians'
have vocals in every track. it's just the way it's supposed
to be.

i think most musicians have music in their tracks because
the oldest form of music was based around drums and vocals,
so they've just stuck.

And also the lyrics act as another form of poetry.

i like electronica with lyrics, but i like songs with out.
when i go on long trips i like the stuff with out.. i duno
what i am trying to say.. some thing about the fluidness of
non-lyric electronica seems to keep things stimulating with
out being annoying....

but why electronica? for me it is the beat, and layers. i
can not stand music with out a strong kick ass beat. even
the chinese music i adore has great beat.

Your voice is just about the only thing nothing or no one
can emulate.

I agree though. I do not listen to much music with vocals.

I like Steve Reich's three movements though. The vocal
arrangements on the first two are amazing. That's the kind
of stuff I'm into.

I also think that Maynard James Keenan has a very nice
voice, possibly the best male voice in rock today and maybe
ever.

I also get tired of guitar. I don't hate guitar itself, I
just cannot stand what most people do with it. Solo it up,
jackasses. That shit is lame.

it's what u do that's most important, not just the elements
(i.e. acoustic/electronic) that comprise your sound

imo

Hey Urb, is your avatar a scene from Twin Peaks? It looks
like it.

The one where they shot the entire scene backwards; vocal
lines and everything. Creepy stuff.

Yep. It's the Little Man From Another Place.

That whole black lodge part is quite creepy. They just
re-aired Twin Peaks over here, and I got hooked.

sometimes words get in the way of what you're feeling at
that exact moment when you put on the music like if you are
in a particualar mood (besides hatefull) then electronic is
usually the best way to just let your emotions flow when you
listen to rock or rap or country words kinda control the
direction of your thoughts and you can't really be one with
how you feel when your wavelength is interupted by "words"

i like lyrics when the are a bit abstract, and you have to
think about them, rather than the tedius, linkin park style
obviousness. And swearing does nothing for me either.

BTW, capitol K does the singing thang well.
