[great] releases used to come out in the armloads, nowadays
good releases come out every few months

mASTAH> yes these days seem quite boring, but it shouldnt be
that way, now should it ?

It's pretty far from dead, you're just not looking in the
right places I guess.

There's plenty of good stuff comming out these days, and
then some great un-signed artists doing good stuff too. It's
not worse then how the scene was in previous years...

I think the ideas are running out. Plus, no one is ever
critisised for being retro anymore.

it's the day and age of money. money periodically ruins the
music scene until something trully innovative is created, to
then be copied and rehashed in the hope of money, goddamnit!

"It's the day and age of money"
Yeah, the last 2000 years have been hard on the music scene.

i made an awesome compilation just last night..plenty of
fantastic music there!! i could make 10 80 minute
compilations without a problem, and they would all sound
interesting. there :)
unless you're talking about electronic music..i couldn't
manage more than 3 or 4 interesting compilations of that
crap :D

Yeah. The impression I get is that it is considered good to
be retro now by magazines and people in general (as far as I
know-I could be wrong.) Mind you, a lot of stuff that
supposedly looks forward hurts my ears; I guess there are
some gems that are something new, yet "accessible"-and a lot
of the music discussed here is a nice balance, imo. I've
just been listening to Tundra 4 by Squarepusher; a good
example of what is possible, I reckon.

We should all do some compilation (not strictly electronic
of course) and share to find new (or old) music...

We have to face facts that just like there are kids with
mohawks (hides his hair) and leather jackets running around
thinking they are punks even though punk died over 20 years
ago we two are the Body of the giant headless chiken that is

Face it, It's all about jazz these days

It only seems dead to those of us who've practically heard
everything, every genre. There are artists who are still
bursting with creativity, maybe you need to look in other
places now.

Perhaps this old story will shed some light.
*ahem*

How recycle got his Groove Back.

One day Mr.X decided to take electronic music where it's
never been. All the Y's and Z's thought WOW this is new! And
they assimilated a new ability, the ability to be
unconventional with music. Many years passed, and many
exciting albums were made. And on one day, years after the
first afformentioned 'one day' Mr. A and Mr. E decided to
take it further, but never knew the implications of what
they were about to do. They sucked the scene up dry and
eventually the categorizeless genre imploded in the year
200X. It was a sad day, recycle even made a thread about it.
But Gwely Mernans pointed out that there is infact, hope.
The End.

There's loads of fantastic unsigned/relatively unheard-of
stuff out there. I've come to realise this recently - been
playing at lot of it on Mishkas, so give that a
listen.

I say we're running low on fresh ideas. everything is a
cliche and we're all getting bored because we've 'heard it
all before'
