obviously the wrong/least interesting answer is
'its just fashion'
I was going to say this yesterday - see what a bullet I dodged?
yeah like i said earlier in the thread for those of you who were taking notes and not sitting at the back chewing gum and sexting like corpsey obviously has been
paid in full (1987) sounds far more modern than dont sweat the technique (1992, and may actually have 'walking bass' on it)
Yes sir but I said mass appeal sir
You know what I see what you mean
But that's the thing with this time barrier of yours it obscures previous metals with dust
Haha that's my heathenish attitude towards jazz or at least used to be
Jazz existed so that rap producers could come along and cut all the fat off it
I hasten to add this isn't necessarily my position anymore even though I struggle with jazz

obviously the wrong/least interesting answer is 'its just fashion'
the more complex, possibly less wrong/uninteresting way is to say that music reflects its contemporary situation
actually I was thinking about this + I have a notion that is the ultimate reason why later remakes, especially of highly revered scenes/sounds - jungle, 80s hardcore, golden age rap - can never capture the original spirit. you can very studiously recreate the various sonic ingredients but you can't capture the essence which was of its time. minimal boom bap, global hardcore punk diaspora, these things reflect not just available technologies, musical evolutions, but an 80s zeitgeist. I'm not saying this very well. also it's an idea that people have brought up before, blissblogger kpunk etc, I'm p sure in relation to nuum things.
