Hegel was wrong about a lot of things, Africa for instance.
Many Black scholars reject G.W.F. Hegel, for his Philosophy of History ignominiously and grotesquely denigrates Africans. This article first discusses Negritude’s detournement of Hegel’s theses and, from an African point of view, refutes two Hegelian theses: slavery and the state in Africa. Hegel contradicts itself, and the very dialectic analytical method that excluded Africa from universal history also fully reinstates it.
there are many words that I could use to malign HEGEL but I am all about LOVE and so all I can say is maybe he should have smoked some DMT and then maybe HEGEL 'COULD HAVE BROKEN THROUGH"?
one problem with that. psytrance.
WHOAH!
WHOIAH!
that is the "genre" that I DARE NOT NAME!
I tried to call out people in New York for racist philosophy and now I am the "BAD POSTER"?
I thought were were comrades?
too late, I broke through and my spirit guide tells me how to navigate thru consensus reality
but the context thing is just the well-worn scenius line, and it holds up. to contradict myself you could argue that the creative prison 0bleak is in has no bars because no context, no limitation and overwhelmed by options and archives. floating, featureless, anchorless abstractions and so on. no real world limitations, no chance for undiscovered community to fruit and fester in isolation or opposition for a while. and you could even argue that YOUR marxist overinterpretation of music is a very entertaining attempt to fill this void, same thing going on with 'conceptronica'In general, I would advise not to take any of luka's pontifications to heart. He has this very london (regionally and culturally specific) sense of biting satire, which has never translated well to north Americans, right from the PiL days and Jah Wobble bullying that drummer out of their first itteration. There's a reason why I respond to him with mock contempt, not because I harbour such feelings, but it's the only way to respond in kind. If you don't, the barbs tend to wound, as opposed to bouncing off the surface. It's a whole theatrical act which I don't think can ever translate to continental Europe, let alone America. @blissblogger may be able to recommend some books on this topic, top (Girondist) intercontinental bloke that he is.

also this.
we have to be aware the context is mostly forum here if I'm not mistaken and other places of online listening
if you cannot make any more tracks, make a mixtape out of the renders, send it off somewhere, play them in a set somewhere for real people moving eventually
It seems to me to have no context, one would have to have lived in total isolation with no outside influence, and never have heard any other music in their life.
another reason I don't get this "no concept" thing - I didn't have more a concept when I was making music for a ~year back in 91-92 back when I was still a teen, before I had to sell my kit or be homeless again, and this seemed to go down well (it seems like even Luka liked it):
