I have irrational prejudices about every kind of music, including the music that I apparently like.
Mostly its race related. I just can't stand that ooga booga music.
Dude. I think we need to talk.All Western music subsequent to Wagner has carried the ineradicable taint of Negro degeneracy.
i've listened to a decent amount of the record collector jazz canon. kind of blue, a love supreme, out to lunch, black saint and the sinner lady, etc.
Im gonna say it, its inevitable, all threads tend to autechre- the NLS sessions give me the same feeling as jazz. use the same language. the electric atonal late 60's 70s jazz atleast
alice coltrane was an epiphany. cosmic jazz is probably my favourite music of all. thing is, jazz (including it's blues and gospel roots) is the lifeblood of so much of 20th century music, and to take it out of the equation, more or less removes the dance element from dance music & all the harmonies and disharmonies which lay foundation of at least half of what people love here on d. if jazz hadn't happened we'd be probably be listening to german oompa shit or something.
I dont particularly like sax solos as 'solos' for the most part. And with the jazz that I enjoy and what your primarily getting recommended- post bop stuff- what is a 'solo' is obscured because all the instruments are effectively soloing at the same time. I like them as pointillistic atmospheric elements, like tweeting birds.someone should break down their favorite jazz sax solo for me and yyaldrin and explain whats happening, what you hear in it that you enjoy. without recasting it in light of a different genre if possible. and saying more than just "he blows with so much emotion man" or something to that effect. a listening map.

The fucking guitar solo!

I used to exercise to this as I dislike anything with a regular rhythm which puts me off my own.
Aww come on though, there's that one really great psytrance tune - can't remember what it's called but you must know it, it goes diggerdy-diggerdy-diggerdy-diggerdy-DIGGERDY-DIGGERDY-DIGGERDY-DIGGERDY-diggerdy-diggerdy-diggerdy-diggerdy-DIGGERDY-DIGGERDY-DIGGERDY-DIGGERDY, you know the one I mean, right?Psytrance, so daft I don’t even know if I’ve spelled it correctly. Gatecrasher cunts, fluro zigzag paint on faces.
War crimes.
once i start hearing instruments that way (programmatic, i guess you could say?) i just wish i was listening to electronic music, since i think it can be much more evocative and less limited by narrow physical constraints.I like them as pointillistic atmospheric elements, like tweeting birds.
