what's your point luka

there is always a backlash on here

tbh the same principle of repetition/difference holds for both (i.e. enough change to keep it fresh, not so much that there's no consistency) - holds for anything really - but where you set your threshold obviously varies wildly. Just a thought experiment though, would you level the same...

Not sure where Burial comes into this. Ignore me as usual

so to me middlebrow is basically like the 'squeezed middle' (to borrow the Miliband term) of the dissensian aesthetic. Obviously 'highbrow' can be considered as something which is 'art' as opposed to 'commerce' or 'mere pop' or whatever - but also has connotations of 'high art', so classical...

http://thequietus.com/articles/07997-burial-pseud-quotes -- Aphex comparison's pretty off if you ask me

yeah fair, he does play into music journalists' urge to treat dance music like all the journalists they look up to used to treat rock. Not his fault though...I mean there's space for auteurs in dance music as well as a healthy scene. At least he doesn't claim his music works on the dancefloor

dude if Burial is just a fan with ideas above his station then the conclusion here is "every fan should make music because they will be incredibly successful and write music which somehow connects with many, many people". Whether he 'gets' 2 step beats or not is irrelevant to whether the beats...

I made a version of Berlin's 'Take My Breath Away' for Valentine's. Somewhere between a chopped&screwed version and a oneohtrix echo jam. Free download anyway - enjoy :D <object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie"...

slightly skeptical about Burial's takes on house...they never quite cut it for me (except for Moth/Wolf Cub which reminds me of a terrible acid comedown I had once)

haha Crowleyhead you have really been bringing the embittered vibes this past week

introspection and heartbreak <-> getting his dick sucked, weed, and not backing down is a false dichotomy

writing like that makes my eyes slide off the page. really unpleasant on the brain

sorry I just wanted to quote the question as I think it is a pertinent one but the forum wouldn't let me make a post without it having 1 character in it. Should have just done a full stop. Regrets..

new Tessela on 2nd Drop Shades of Hessle...I think it's stronger than his Punch Drunk thing <object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F35947571"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess"...

I think he's referring to an incident where Crystal Castles stole some 8bit music and put shouting over it and called it their own track. so yeah proving your point really Edit: I think that's slightly unfair, they chopped up and resampled all the drums and ting from an 8bit tune I think

bullshit. The production is the best bit - and doesn't feel remotely like an afterthought

I don't find it remotely patronizing. They obviously found my level
