corpse’s description of bells- with its talk of filteration and tonality and all that- fits in to an implicit dyad that’s been running through all these polls; aesthetics vs craft. When people talk about ain’t nobody/Cuban Linx/can you feel it they talk about them in terms of their emotional impact, the moods and imagery they evoke, etc. Whereas when the discussion turns to I feel for you/liquid swords/bells it turns far more technical; about specific almost measurable sonic qualities.
That same would apply I think if we picked specific ni and prince tracks; Jackson’s related to in terms of feeling whereas prince it’d be a bit more about distinctive drum programming, off kilter chord progressions and all that.
