rhythmically bounce it's more sexual cause of that syncopation on the quarter note. as i said before on this thread (in reference to dancehall girls as it happnes) "moving from the hip". the synths are warm tones; immersive, oceanic, from whcih you can free associate yourself to vaginas.

so you can make tentative attempts at answering some of these questions by using those two songs
what movements and manners does it map out?
one is a kind of jaunty, slightly jerky, playful and childlike 'bounce' with the knees bending but the hips more or less rigid, head and arms mimicking the same up and down motion perhaps
the other a more low slung, swung set of movements, the pattern more staggered and requiring a greater control of the body, the weight lower in the hips etc
one keeps a partner at a distance the other brings that partner in close
im sure you can do better and that's just a begining but thats the sort of thing im trying to talk about. its nothing complicated

it's just you can then start to extrapolate from those initial observations, it's not failsafe obviously but you can start to
and you can answer your own questions too
What kind of movement/physicality is the music evoking?
What kind of emotional state is it aspiring to?
What social outlook/context is it eliciting?
Anthropomorphise the music; who is it? What does it feel like to be them?

i went through the star gate and 2000 years of epistemological theory just so we could get to "one's jumping and one's shagging"

this or that?
jumping or pumping?

the millie small and busy signal songs are good records to use to answer these questions for instnce becuase you're just extrapolating from the initial humping or jumping dichotomy

in retrospect this is really where we should've left it.

Is there a theory of musical history?
I wondered if yeats's theory might be applied, but since it works in 2000 year cycles it's probably not applicable to the last thirty years of musical evolution.
Do we believe that the 'pendulum' effect in musical fashion reflects a sort of need for balancing the polarities? Or, if it IS driven by 'our' taste, is it simply a lust for novelty, and contempt for the familiar? Or is it just a way for corporations to sell new products?
