what you're hearing and feeling melancholy about is faith in a future enabled by technology
and a sincere and failed attempt at articulation of this utopia, the extension of human emotion and desire through technology. and 'the reach' is important. the feeling that there is some strain, something that isnt full expressed and the reason it isnt fully expressed is due to limits in technology to render these feelings. there is a tension between the desire to articulate a vision and the tools available
but then post 90s, with internet, we are somewhat subsumed by the technology, the options, the canon, and the algorithmic precision, what we hear after this threshold is crossed is the human not only contained and codified but also untethered and confused, overwhelmed, lost and only existing spectrally or in parody within technology
interesting. regardless of whether or not they like Burial, I'd be interested to know what All the Young Dudes think on the topic. @constant escape? @suspendedreason? @Linebaugh?
