Helluva drogue.
Antihumanism is an interesting sideshow for me but romanticism is the whole reason I'm obsessed with music in the first place.
Electro that sounds like the terminator is of only passing interest to me, I only really cherish the stuff with melancholy chords, the T1000 choons do my head in within a matter of minutes.
This is where I would insert the wedge chisel crowbar to get movement.

Melancholy is particularly disgusting. It's the feeling of when there's a big shit there but you have to hang on to it for while for pragmatic reasons. A feeling Freud dubbed 'voluptuous'
What pattycakes is saying is true for what I've dubbed Detroit Romanticism but I'm not interested in that. I think it's reactionary (albeit frequently beautiful) The antihumanist (not anti human incidently. No seam of ore in rock or distant star is anti human) is what I want to focus on and I'm drawn to it for similar reasons to third. I'm sick of music. Im sick of soul. He's also right to focus on experience rather than listening per se and it's there we get some cross-fertilisation with the various ambient and drone threads
Melancholy is one of the distinct features of middle class/bourgeois/middle-of-the-road mindset.
Perhaps that has left me perfectly unable to articulate things though. Maybe that's the paradox.Say something intelligent poetic and profound Rich. You've done more drugs than all of us put together. There's no way you live in a world of human emotions snd subjectivity any more. You must be in the geological or the molecular by now
