Enough soul in music in 2020? Not sure we're on the same planet, man. It go lost it in music a while ago. It's missing. When legowelt is talking about German techno being boring and conservative in the YouTube above, I-F repeats a couple of times 'there's no soul'
And he's right. We lost it.
All the existential dread we're facing in music (and the world) right now. All the shit that keeps coming up on here in thread after thread can be boiled down to this. Even third's relentless punishing thing. We lost connection with the human. Its the same shit in art vs design, dematerialization, modern buildings, and on and on. Soul doesn't have to equal hippy shit. It can be hard, dark, funky, whatever. But it's got some human in it. This going beyond the human, deconstruction, art school, Mark Fell, Senni, Draft 7.3.2.6 era Autechre shit has a shelf life. It's been excavated. It said its piece. My feeling is that we're yearning for something relatable again. Isn't that what making music that sounds 200 years old would do? Take us back to a point of origin? Some truth?
