the hideousness of contemporary record artwork

@GhostofKinski reminds me of the rock version of my cousins that have always been so into hip hop that they can't get their heads around the fact that black people have been deeply involved in other kinds of music both here and in the UK.

I'm glad you did

I may have been disappointed by Jeff Mills concept albums since "metropolis" but I'm not prepared to write him off just yet

he is a genius and I admit that I may have just not caught up with where he is going, I'm sure he is light years ahead of us

I did watch a video recently where he broke down some techno tune and I was amazed at his levels of insight and erudition, I was left open mouthed

 

[william_kent]

which is a long winded way of saying Jeff Mills shits all over Zappa

Speaking of 909s, I don't know if you heard that Thirdform track I did, but I made a lot of the sounds by affecting warped and broken 909 sounds.

the "Turkish" one?

 

[0bleak]

yeah, most of the non-turkish sounds are from 909

 

[william_kent]

this one?



@0bleak

 

[0bleak]

yeah, like a lot of the drum sounds, and "swirly" sounds, and what almost sounds like people talking or singing in a chorus in the background (in certain parts) is from 909

 

[william_kent]

yeah, I like that one

Without (yet) listening to it. I don’t take any offense. If pressing a button “makes people dance” never mind meaning anything. You win.
I’m old fashioned where (as I am not one) a composer ‘cause sound that makes Europeans twerk is considered genius…..it’s like Gaelic or pre-Christian sounds, heresy to one such as you and far too many of your generation….embarrassingly ofey.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I shall shake my fist at the clouds.

William Kent and Blissblogger are both in their sixties. Definitely not millennials lol. They remember steam trains.
