I s'pose diversity and originality are a very
important factor, but it isn't an excuse to release
parp. I'm not talking about Jeff Mills now. I wouldn't
go as far as saying his stuff was parp (I love that
word:).
I mean, I buy all of his stuff and it's intelligent
music... beyond my dancefloor orientated
comprehension, but it's interesting to listen to which
is where I get the enjoyment value...
There is a common factor in all good music though.
Everyone knows a good quality tune. Occasionally
something in the top 40 is really good and has fought
it's way out from the underground to greater
recognition. Not like most of the processed rubbish
that's there... now THAT'S parp...;) I mean Jaguar is
a good example, it's got a load of recognition because
of it's cross-scene appeal. The production is a bit
rough here and there but well thought out and works in
many a dj's set. Paradoxically, it is very simple.
Maybe you are right in what you say though. What we
percieve as art may not always be enjoyable. Some
people like Iron Maiden, however. Art? Mind expansion?
Trash? Why don't you go and buy an Iron Maiden CD...
is it beyond your simple mind? Claude Young... I
prefer him to Mills, at least for the time...
