im fucking serious here chaps... Squarepusher and autechre and RDJ tap into the universal sheme of things wuith their strange music that just seems to make sense and will live forever. i ain´t been smoking, you guys, but am reading books on Taoism and shit and can definitely say that these artist do it for me on a spiritual level. i hope some of you guys think the same. how else can you explain the power and inteligence of some of their work? |

yeah i dig what youre saying i can explain it like this they do their music for the sake of the artform itself, not to immediately please others expecially autechre in my opinion the phrase is 'to do it for the buddha' thought if you said that to them theyd no doubt shrug it off :) |

bob, Are you relying on releasing music to live? Thats a bit sad. |

rockenjohnny .. that makes sense too but i was saying that the music itself, not the act of creating it, has an intrinsic esoteric quality that transends the creative process, the creators, the constituent parts etc. look at squarepushers direction changes for example.... their seemingly chaotic but their is structure there that cannot be described. a capturing of the human spirit and a release of it too. classic taoist paradoxes everywhere.... rhythmn, yet non rhythmn. but what you said seems valid too |

yeah i dig that too its what doing music is all about for me personally. its not any cleverness of individual components that fascinates me, but rather the more mysterious stuff that drops out, often accidentally, between sounds and communicates with your mind in unusual ways |

keyfumbler i can see what you are saying but its very hard to explain . Electronica has drawn lots of open minded people together, people from all over the world and imo we have a special conection related to our minds and what stimulates them .Its like they are running at a similar frequency or somthing because every humans brain runs at a different frequncy.Plaid have hinted about this to me when i was at a gig in london, there visuals consisted of questions that tried to link everyone together if you get what im saying. That night for me started a deep conection to electronica . i would like to point out that every electronica gig that i have been to has seen no violence and that says a lot about the people that enjoy it:) |

this is why autechre keep me on my toes the are lots of people who spend ages making a playlist of percussions that sound just right, but theres no substance, no life behind it. pretty soon it becomes apparent how static it is and no different from your everyday sort of techno having said that, im a huge fan of guys like underworld, although their material is obviously sequenced (watching everything everything you see that theyre mixing sequences up and down.. ) but theres such a rich sensation behind songs like jumbo and born slippy that you cant deny it but yeah, guys who get up there and press play and do nothing else fail to excite me in, no matter how many tricks there are in the playlist |
