it is about wide open spaces. about the paths you take. and, it inspired you with day dreams.

There's plenty of music coming out today with the same feeling. You are not unique or special in that respect

"i dont know, why arent you?"
not so much the good, im not commenting on the ops music quality(not sure ive heard any?), but "why does nobody make music like this?" i started doing stuff, not to be like anyone else, but to make the things i wanted to hear, that i didnt think had been made.

That's a good point too.

I have tried to talk my gf into helping me bring back trip-hop though. She's not into it.

There is great music being made, you have to go look for it. Try Broken Bells.

Plenty of current artists are inspired by for instance The Orb, and are standing on the shoulders of giants, just like The Orb did when they first started out.

It was a different time then, too. For them, for me (I was in my teens when this album came out, for instance, and I totally missed out on it) It will always be a different time, for you, me and musicians now and tomorrow. You can either move with it, or forever stay in your past and dismiss what is happening now. This is when you become a grumpy old person.

Nobody? Including you?

If there is no good music all is in your hands.

If you're thinking "Music today is crap, what's wrong with people, why don't that make music like back in [fill-in-the-blank]", then you're just getting old.
I've been hearing this conversation since the 60s, and you'll hear it in musicals from the 40s.
Modern music is always crap, and the best music was made when you were young.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

but not really. I was 15 when I heard this track. This was the crack poin for shifting to electronic music. I mean, I still listen a contemporary niche electronic a lot (Funckarma, Hecq, (ghost), Four Tet, Alveol, BVDUB, Lorn), but there are not that many left who can impress. I'm just thinking is this related to the fact that the newcomers doesn't have a proper musical education (music schools and etc) ot just a lack of talent, or the trend that is being heavily promoted by, well, promoters (radio, tv, labels).

I'm mean those tunes were the tunes that you could listen a LOT and rearly get bored. It's like you feel that it was not made for gaining popularity, fame and money, but rather a natural outcome of talent and skills.

I mean, common, MTV back then put ORB, Aphex Twin, FSOL during the daytime and Simone Angel interviewed them, remember that time?

Punk was dismissed as non-music. No talent, no education, it was a fad...and yet here we are, it was massively influential. Launched DIY, kicked rock n roll in the arse. In the aftermath came postpunk (that's when things got REALLY interesting) and countless genres that are still influential.

But in the 80s and 90s the same thing was said about electronic musicians, by the oldschool rock guys (not by the punks). It was not real music, required no talent, it was all the same...are you sure you're not an old fart

Dark Lights · Post by **Dark Lights** » Fri May 21, 2021 10:13 am

But i hated mainstream music back then, it was a natural mindset (actually, now I'm thinking, it wasn't that bad actually, so yeah, 40 years old fart)

Not sure, though, if old fart would listen to this. So that's not the case, I think))

So no, old fart notion is not really applicable here.

What is happening with the music.
