I like both very dynamic and un-dynamic music, it's just that in this case I thought a little bit more "drama" would be good. Mind you, overall the album is quite fine and absolutely no "undifferentiated stream of mid-range mush" :D I listened to Why We Cry and regarding structure it's more my...

Thanks, I'm downloading that now. I'lll report back after listening properly. I don't think the tracks would benefit from being structured in a more conventional way, but a bit more dynamic, yes :)

I've had this on the ipod for the last few days, quite nice :) My only complaint would be that sometimes there's a little tendency towards noodling, when the tracks just seem to circle around themselves - which is basically fine, but I found myself wishing for a bit more "songwriting"...

A sunday evening electro-acoustic ambient piece which I just decided to consider finished, if anything can ever be called finished. <object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie"...

Black Gold is brilliant, one of my favorites and the last really good one. and Son and Magic Carpet were alright, but compared to everything before that I think he was already going downhill.

I like Tintin, but perhaps more for the style than the stories and characters. Asterix is untouchable (if you don't count the last ~25 years). It's a bit of a shame that Uderzo won't stop.

On record I tend to listen to improvised music as if it was composed. After all it is 'spontaneous composition' and there are so many shades of grey. In many cases I don't even know to which degree the music is improvised, edited or composed. Improv purists would probably shake their heads. In a...

I'm immensly enjoying The Fountain by Danny Paul Grody. Really gentle and soothing without ever just lulling you in. http://www.myspace.com/dannypaulgrody

When it comes to things like this it's really important to not compare yourself to other artists but do what you have to do. It can be frustrating to see other people churning out good stuff while you're editing and arranging and programming your ass off (I have the same "problem"). But in the...

If you think of old Schlager from the 60s and 70s, there is a little overlap to old pop music like France Gall and similar stuff, which has already been hipsterised. So some of that stuff could have a certain camp quality, if you're into that sort of thing. For example, Marianne Rosenberg is a...

Yes (but not any of the Before or After the Incal stuff). Genre-defining and parodying at once.

Whenever I checked online music services like spotify, last.fm or even itunes I found it very frustrating that too often the music I want to hear is simply not available. There's surely more good music there than I could ever listen to, but what exactly it is feels a bit random. Plus I don't...

You're right about the side stick, a rimshot is when you hit the rim and the head of the drum at the same time.

Great music, but I'd associate that more with the time after twilight, early mornings when the sun is already out but still low over the horizon and the air is really clear and fresh.

Usually on the way to/from work on headphones, which is ~45-60min each way and 1-2 album lengths during the evening. Music at work is just too frustrating with too many interruptions and limited concentration.
