To be fair it was *always* just the 'dance' equivalent of prog rock really wasn't it.


Why I liked it!! It certainly wasn't edgy, unless you count King Crimson as edgy.


It's just in 20 years you expect music to move on a bit.

dance, EDM, IDM, electronica...wahtever, seems to be more staid than most. Some of the stuff you hear doesn't sedem to have moved on one iota from Shelley's in Longton frankly, I'm not sure there's another genre that does that, apart from maybe dull overproduced teen-focussed r&b, where artists have to up the ante by getting ever more weird, naked or weird and naked.


It's like the musical equivalent of the Egyptian Empire....ooh egyptian empire...

 

very true of country, though that's not to say there aren't people trying to do intersting offshoots and using country influences in a good way.


I'm not slating dance music, though the vast majority is pants. There is genuinely good stuff out there, but if it doesn't really progress much it's hard to keep your interest up i guess.


That's why I'm a bit mystified why the reverence accorded this realease.


I got it a bit more with My Bloody Valentine after all that had been 23 years, not 13, and Loveless was even more influential than ambient works, plus that sort of JD Salinger efect of doing nowt afterwards. But in the end it was, you know, basically the same stuff, just without bankrupting a record label.

Music that actually endures is music that isnt enhanced by drug use.


Dance music on whilst reading your Guardian on a saturday morning is a big cake,covered with fail icing. See also hardcore Rave on tuesday nights while in the bath and Acid house whilst doing the weekly stack of ironing. Welcome to fail city, enjoy your stay.

interstingly a week before that




It's a typically fsol work, if there is such a thing but at least there are apparently some new influences absorbed (alot of jan garbarekesque nordic jazz stuff going on, Bob, run for the hills), though it's in danger of, dare i say it, getting a bit......new agey?

    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Really like living in a country where big brother is  looking at you -, not that it is likely to happen in UK but crime should have stricter consequences.. not just put into jail which I gather is where more bad habits are learnt.
