Just because you think music is either already handbasketed in hell or on the way says nothing about what made it happen...it might have gotten stale with or without thechnology. There are plenty of records made without computers out there screaming the truth of that.
i agree with that, of course. the problem is, of course that the percentage of music that is coming out that is good and creative is diving precipitously, and i just dont think that it is coincidence that it mostly is happening with computer based setups. im not against computer made music, im against the way that it seems to make people all strive for the same things, few of which have anything to do with good music.
Bottom line - if you don't have it, strapping on an old Strat or booting up a new Power Mac ain't gonna supply it. 'nuff said (for me anyway).
what about people who DO have it, but then waste it away with needless technological crap? photek is a great example, his early raw and simple records were fantastic, now that he is keeping up with the DnB joneses in terms of production values, his tunes are as generic sounding as the next person's..... tom
