So it's that specific period of time? 92-93 is it and anything else is not great cos its not 92-93. That's fine if that's what you mean, makes sense. But is surely just another criterion and what if I don't agree?
Badman Barty's Trip to Trinidad

i like this kind of stuff in barty's playlist with the churchbell gothic and moody pads, as well as that big US trap bassline. That is the stuff that appeals to me the most, the stuff that is less up in the air. If youre gonna talk about of guns, you have to feel the weight of the gun against your back.
Well, i mean, if you have a spiritual experience to coldplay - clocks, convince me.
No, it's music that is intense. you get this in dub reggae, turkish schmaltz, free jazz and speedcore. It's about taken outside the realms of restraint.
it's music that quite literally punches you in the gut. It can be sorrowful or angry. But it has to be intense. It can include both soul and anti-soul.
It is music that goes against the stiff upper lip principle. Even music that goes against the principle of boy meets girl. It has to take you to those forbidden places. That indicates true greatness.

It's a different type of gay to the gayness we're used to though. In Britain gay people were formally tolerated but despised. Hence all of @WashYourHands sex freaks of the early 80s. a disembodied masculinity. macho without the loudness, the introverted kind.
I like how this is all squeezed in. expansive production yet every aspect of the flow is intricately condensed into the drum track. It's like icecream man. Just straight up rhythm melody interplay. semi-vertiginous stumbling and orbitting. dissociation. Could do with a proper bassline and more ruffness for me though.
Why?
Because We have centuries of evolved and perfected accomplished, romantic, melodic and harmonic music.
Electronic music was a revolution, it made the mechanical great rather than merely stifling.
I could agree with that, but how you then say certain things are great and others merely good becomes tricky. I feel like there is vanity of small differences going on here. It's all so broadly fitting into what you've just outlined (making thd mechanical great not stifling) that everything else is nitpicking.
This is why Cuban Lynx is great and Liquid Swords is very good.
All good music is head music by nature. Great music unites the head body dualism.
We would not have understood this without early electro hip hop and Public Enemy.
It's also why conscious hip hop having more in common with A Tribe Called Quest and KRS1 has been one of the more lamentable developments.

Yes, and they were wrong. Me and Luke fought valliantly against this trend on this forum.
