alright so. so yes in terms of space and the field of the ears, the stereo panning, the compression etc etc the sound design is modern. musically and sonically, however, it's still stuck in william gibson's cyberpunk world. what these producers fail to realise is that with affordable personal computing technology it is relatively easy to make nano sound, particle like, bits and bights of information, and hence explore the tempo ranges between 220-400, 600-950 bpm. you've made the point about information overload, but how do people live with it? because deep down we all know we can't change the world unless something like a world war materialises. not because we're dooped by false consciousness or whatever, but simply if we truly put our hearts and souls into believing we could change the world we wouldn't be able to get out of bed. life requires us to block it out. and this is the nature of speed. slowing that doesn't make you more aware or woke or heals you, it just adds a poison that people dilligently avoid.
