i totally forgot that once a musical category emerges it remains static until a new name takes precedence. you've heard it all, i'm sure. nothing changes, nothing grows. once an artist makes something of one genre they are destined to continue making exactly that for all eternity. there are no new possibilities. no one could possibly innovate on what has already been created. sounds silly, don't it?
What don't I like about goa and psy-trance? To put it in a nutshell, everything is done for the listener already. The build-ups, the drum rolls, all the "emotion" is already in the music leaving little room for the listener to make their own interpretation. I like the more minimal styles of techno because it allows me, as a listener, to mentally "climb into" the music. For me techno is just as much about the spaces between the beats as the beats themselves. 30 second drum rolls and wailing synth lines just don't do it for me anymore. I guess I like music that has a little more thought put into it.
here's where you most aptly display your ignorance. its clear you took one listen a while back of some common stuff and that's it. if i didn't like jazz and i heard jazzy drum and bass could i say i didn't like drum and bass at all? again, i'd call that damn silly. just avoid the trance-oriented goa&psy. try out the techno style. isn't it obvious?
phyrl may not be so old but thats rather irrelevant. am i trying to prove how long i've been around? no, not at all, for that has nothing to do with this discussion on how being close-minded leads to fewer possibilities... the only reason i mentioned that was for context - i might know what techno is, in other words, so i might potentially be qualified to say "this goa is actually techno if you want to get technical". this isn't ammo for some conflict of qualifications. is your musical expertise and experience going to prove anything about why its GOOD to ignore new things and play by the rules? not likely...
the bottom line is this... there are artists who have made goa years ago that now make techno. due to the segregation of the various musical styles out there, there is little cross-exposure. over on the goa side of things, there are hordes of people declaring a new revolution in sound. despite this, goa fans who dig the techno sound are hesitant to try out some quality stuff from the techno field, and techno fans often ignore whatever music may stem from the more psychedelic regions. pardon me, but this seems rather silly. knowing what you like is one thing but closing your mind to new possibilities is geriatric.
anyhow, no need to flog the dead horse that is your curiousity.
doug.. ya this thread IS funny! fuck funny
