You should read it. it is a good illustration of how the compassionate and the divine music can be used to justify the most reactionary politics. It's important to have soulless music to act as a dissensus.

it's like fucking goa trance all over again. matthew's etonian acid casualty mates.
lydon was right: never trust a hippy. he forgot to add: because they are all aristocrats in commoner disguise.
Loool. Lydon of all people? Cmon man. Guy is the biggest phoney going. Having said that, even though I'm not a hippy, I am a scouser. So maybe your post still indirectly applies.
Something about the staccato - the trap hi hat, the drill flow, the juke EVERYTHING
Nervous energy, attention spans atomised, everything being turned into bits and bytes
Maybe just reflective of what computers do to music and happen also to do to consciousness. Turn it into components, easily looped and sped up and fucked with.
Nah im just worried about you fetishising the student who sits at the hodga's foot learning the ney for 20 years. that music is not the music of the uncouth. we are the uncouth. fertive hands in back alleys.
Like, it's all very well talking about spirituality and that, but it's all predicated on what you bring to the table. this is why i don't have truck with unorganised religion in these sorts of discussions. it's like ok but you've stretched the definition of religion so far that it doesn't cary any conversational validity. for better or worse we need to try and find a non-religious cosmic language. Xenakis tried to do this.
Xenakis himself was a profoundly spiritual man but not in the sense of god as interpreted in feudalism.
