I'm pretty lazy with discovering new music, largely using spotify and its related artists feature. I'd had a starred track on my list for a long while (that I love), it's called . Yesterday I checked out the covering artist and really liked what I heard. To me all I hear is a bunch of music that I love the sound of, and to my ears executed with exceptional skill in a way that I in no way know how to do. (I am open to the idea that this is now all easy to do with new fancy software, but I'm stuck using simple Floops stuff) I shared the name of said artist here The general reaction was surprising to me. Later that day I discovered new music by and an accompanying remix by amongst others that I absolutely adored. It's pure brain candy for me <3 And THEN I discover music by . OMG OMG OMG. Love it soooo much. Now, cognitive dissonance occurs. How is it that I love both these kinds of music, yet others here seem to have contempt for the likes of Dauwd? (and presumably Jax Dixon) for that matter. I'm guessing there's a good reason. Do these people work for labels who are constantly suing people for copying their artists work or something? I obviously know very little about the industry. What troubles me is that my likes and suggestions get put down and I'm left fumbling to try and figure out what's wrong. Should I not listen to this music? If there's some imperative not to, why not just explain to me and help me understand? I don't want to support any shittiness, so please help me understand what's wrong here.. |

This is hipster central, for starters. On top of that though I think a lot of us who love seminal and pioneering computer music and artists hate to see when the thought-out and measured techniques of our favourites bleed down into more accessible music that's written by less "natural" talents or even by non-talents, then gets more professionally packaged and hence gets exponentially more credit. It's all subjective shit in the end. Go with your own standard of shittiness and avoid that |

Ahh, I see. Genuinely, thanks for that. :) So is it really an issue of money or just outright recognition at the end of the day? Or are can I not talk about one of things without having to talk about the other? I personally would prefer a social system that exists without money altogether. One with no centralised power structure, and one where I hope we could all make the music we we love without hostility towards one another. I certainly empathise though with the grievances of everyone here who feels shat on by it all :'( |

Thank you! I <3 Bonobo so much and have been listening to them constantly for the past couple of months. So rich, and such easy listening lush loveliness. |

I don't know mang, for me it's just a standard/quality thing. It's a little bit heartbreaking to see what the artistic par is for society, what people expect of music/film/painting/whatever due to corporate entities making products out of them. On the other hand, not everybody would love Autechre, even if they were to have mainstream exposure and promotion, and plenty would still love Rod Stewart if he were underground. On the Utopian front, a lot of the lovely stuff we have comes from the reactions of great people to the strife they go through due to the flaws in our species, so things could well be boring as shit or worse if greed and fear were tamed and empathy and love took over. We have things mad easy though, all things told. Yin/Yang motherfuckaz |

Funny cos I kinda always associated Groove Armada (and the like of Deadly Avenger, Zero 7, and Massive Attack — many tracks from these guys that I love) with the type of music that I assumed most people here would probably hate. I've not really listened to any Groove Armada recently because of previous aversion to mainstream electronic music, but listening to it now and I'm certainly enjoying it some. :) Flying lotus I absolutely love and dig very much. a big fave. |

i first heard groove armada through some long-gone dotcom startup that would give you little freebies for listening to, and rating music. the "ssss" in "shaking that assssss" is like nails on a chalkboard to me. and since i can't stand that track, i never bothered with them further. however, that same site also introduced me to air, and their album "moon safari" which is actually rather idm |
