this track is so fantastic!! check it out if you haven't... it has this great laid back beat to it, with a fabulous jazz guitar solo for most of the song... The whole Tourist album is great, but this song is a standout for me... check it out!!

It's not a shit band,.. it's just not your thing,..
theres a difference between shit bands and one that people don't get,.. this is one that people don't get,.. but they are still a good band,... all the neccessary "good" elements of music,.. production values,.. and so forth are there,..
people like Peter Gabriel
now THEY are crap,..
horrible production,. horrible sound,. but just pretentious enough to draw attention to it,.
I feel sorry for people who can't enjoy "good" music,.. and pitty people who listen to the other mindless shit,.
but hey,.. everyone's enitled to their own opinion,.. it just so happens that yours is wrong

HA! this is funny! I don't get St.Germain!?
I mean, I agree on the "its not your thing"-thing.. it certainly isn't.
what is there not to get about St.Germain? its loungy shit! to me this is exactly mindless shit, sound put on as a kind of aural wallpaper.
I do agree on Peter Gabriel being shit though :)

I do not agree. although its s l o w l y beginning to dawn on me that we might have different definitions of "getting it" in mind.
to you, not getting it seems to be synonimous to not liking it.
to me, "getting something" is about understanding. in that way, listening to music has absolutely nothing to do with "getting it". music is an order of sounds - whether you like it has purely to do with whether you like what you hear or not.
I must have a liedown now.

I can't be bothered arguing about it,..
you seem like an alright person and I don't want a stupid argument to make us hate each other
ermm,... can't help it
by "not getting it" I mean that you don't know what to look for to get enjoyment out of it,.. because if you did than obviously you would enjoy it,..
I just think the DEATH OF MUSIC/TEPID SHIT DOWN MY EAR statements were a bit harsh,

isn't thinking something shit = not getting it?
if to "get" something means to like it then, i'm quite happy to say that I don't get n-sync or whatever.
is it possible to like something and not get it?
personally st. germain doesn't do much to me - i can stand it though .. wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it though - so i guess i don't quite get it or something

i'm not meaning to start a big debate bout this .. i don't think one can entirely qualify liking certain music over other music, other than saying that one does .. you may be able to point to certain elements you particularly like/hate or whatever, but its about the ensemble or so innit?

most everyone on this damn board are elitist fuck-faces who think they are the most intelligent people in the world because they listen to the most intelligent music in the world... fucking grow up and let people like the music that they like... liking a certain type of music does not make someone "mindless" or whatever crap you're saying... I love PEter Gabriel, and if you have a problem, or think I'm a mindless fool who doesn't know good music then kiss my hairy ass... good music is in the eye of the beholder, just as beauty in general is...
quit being so snobby about music guys...

I love all types of music from cheesy 80's synth pop music, to Autechre, to Squarepusher, Aphex Twin, to Peter Gabriel, to Tears for Fears... rather then isolate myself to one type of music, or to music that is considered "intelligent", I listen to everything... and why? Because I like it...

I don't isolate myself I listen to all types of "good" music,..
But i do think that there is a line between good and bad artists,.. I hate britney Spears's music more than peter gabriels,.. but I'd say that britney's music is better than peter gabriels because,.. It is better produced, it has better ideas in it,.. and It is atually really well composed,.. I'm personally a fan of Crystal method,.. but I would still say that they are a crap band,.. their music is really primitive,....
that's the dfference Luddovic Navvare is a veteran of electonic and jazz peter gabriel just tagged along for the ride "trance is poppy at the moment,.. I might try my hand at some!"
*pukes
and "steam" is still the worst song ever made
ohh yeah,. and I don't think I'm the most intelligent person in the world,. just the best looking ;)

funk .. if you think your point of view is so much better than other peoples (ie. the ones you think should grow up), then aren't you> being elitist?
it seems by your line of reasoning, one oughtn't dislike anything!?

look Funkmaster, I really don't care whether you really like St.Germain, but just as you can say you really like it, I can say I really hate it.
no comments on proposed intelligence intended.

over-produced pop crap is bad music, saint germain is not :)
and nothing wrong with daftpunk either.
what i would like to see is a n'sync or dr bombay poll.

Ok I agree for St Germain but have you heard the last Daft Punk album. So far from 'homework' , cheesy lyrics, overused samples, not the faintest innovation. Filtered house sucks.
