the most obvious one i noticed is that most of it sounds much more melancholic, depressive, dark.. is it just me? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what type of music? electronic music specifically? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh dear.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what did i miss? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I find some old stuff well melancholic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it's just you tolstoyed. You're in the crushing grip of a depression so vast you cannot even see it. Get professional help. Or beer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was thinking music in general actually. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
train, bus? i dunno you tell me. i think tolstoyed wasn't implying any "genres", just music in general. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i must have listened to more cheerfull music back then or something... deepspace, there's no help for people like me.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, if you have the time and will, you can comment on every genre specifically :) j/k |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even you will be saved. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
are we geeks? I feel like a geek yes, music is melancholic lately times are melancholic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
should i dress up? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can have more expressive and varied instead if you want |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just what i am thinking...although im not sure anymore whether the music is depressing or the depressing mood affects the way i get music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes please. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry, i just thought that music in general is too broad to make a statement like that. of course someone's perceptions about music can and probably will change over the course of their life... i haven't noticed any overall changes except in production values and technology. commercial music is still basically the same as it was fifty years ago, the avant-garde stuff is still perpetually new. a lot of people said that the early 90's was a dark and serious time for mainstream music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's definetly gone in a weird genre...i had that feeling a few months ago. like,why is everyone starting to use fiel recordings in music...don't they have any inspiration whatsoever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well,it brought prodigy and the shamen...nlol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i use field recordings in and as music and i love to hear them. it's one of those things that borders on-non music, so i understand why many people wouldn't get it. but it's using sound in an artistic way that can have the same impact as a musical piece. it's great to listen to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree partly..but i think non-depressing good music was easier to find back then, than it is today. out of 100 new albums i've heard this year, there's probably like 5 that were good and not melancholic or depressing. hmm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i agree,but some artists just put unprocessed fieldrecordings ...so it's starts to sound shitty. |
||||||||
|

you sir are an special brand of humans |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aren't we all... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i disagree... music is in constant flux... but i don't think that one could attribute an overall shift into melancholy or anything... if you think that you just haven't heard the dark underbelly of the 80's... shit is it ever frightening... and i would also say that a lot of melancholic music feels pleasant, because i find it beautiful... it's tough to describe with words because they've been oriented in such a manner that you can't really describe certain things without sounding like you are contradicting yourself... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we are,but you are a special species |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not that i don't find it beautiful..it's just that it doesn't help me getting out of this mood im in in the last couple of years.. i like it a lot infact, but maybe it's time to get some music that would actually sound good and be non depressing.. maybe i should just get my old 80's tapes out.. |
||||||||

|
|
same here |
||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all that 80's style is a bit too weird to me...it's not here it's not there. it's actually very unique,but it doesn't appeal to me cos of it's gay-ish sound. and those reverberated roland toms..jesus |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gayism is excellent...well, at least it has rhythm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah...shake your stick at make me go boom :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:) did you ever see a depressed gay person? didn't think so. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanx again for that pet shop boys track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

hey Goran, you should check out Ariel Pink's Haunted Grafitti he's this crazy dude who the Animal Collective discovered while they were on tour... really bizarre pop that sounds super super lo-fi due to all the filtration it's gone through... i think he actually makes a lot of the bass lines just by beat-boxing... really really uplifting fun pop though... and it's brand new (despite sounding like it's a tape someone found inside their chesterfield in the basement circa 1979) pitchfork panned the shit out of it... but they are just being silly |

I've been listening to morrissey today... |

One thing for sure is that in the last 15 years, PRODUCTION has fucking increased on every aspect of music. Really these days with all the h/s processing, they can make anything sound like a potential pop top40 easily. 15 years ago? That was 1989. Minni Vanilli ruled the earth. New Kids on the Block. "Soldier of Love" by Donny Osmond FFS!!!! Now look these days how producers have mastered the art of compression. That bass just BOOMS, those drums just CLICK and the high-ends just feel natural, not flat. Even in Country music!!! I'm not even talking about electronic music 15 years ago, that's too easy :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
agreed. it's getting fookin dark. i've had enough. i recommend everyone 'good day' by freeform (track 2 off late surfaces). gives a boost, great for a morning listening. |

Nothing is more depressing that early 1915 era folk. What about the stuff that was comming out in the depression era? I have a jazz album from the 1940's that is more depressing than anything I hear being put out nowadays. The Ink Spots produced music during the 20's that was all about suicide over lost girlfriends and wives. No. I think music has gotten less depressing. Its definately gotten more well produced. It also has less soul. |

|
|
great, thanks. i'll get that! |

1989 was a great year for electronic music, it was really starting to kick off |
||||||||

hey thats a great idea, lets cheer up, i know, what will cheer us up, some bronski beat! theres also this other group called joy division, they are a barrel of laughs. not but seriously, the new team doyobi is not depressing in any way, its actually pretty good, i just got into it, and usually i am a sucker for the dark emotional stuff, and actually like that kind of stuff, but doyobi kicks some arse. |

bronski beat are better than aphex twin. there, i said it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

||||||||
|
|
