Its not meant as an insult, but probably the way you are generalizing, it would be one in your terms. I just mean your music seems to be overtly conceptualized in a way most dubstep isnt.Blackdown said:take that back
if you're talking about mark k-punk's take, I think he was getting at the dub's subtraction of the melody/sweetness of the original as an audible process, not just for the sake of a nice balance of light and shade, but as a revolutionary break from the traditions of songwriting and recording as a transparent facilitator of the "original"sound.mms said:interesting point about sweetness and dub - how do you square that one off as a massive fan of veneer of democracy and mark stewart, mark?
maybe the argument is about dub as a means to an end - leaving no trace as there is no trace to be left being the thing that sets it apart
although the sweetness is cetainly present in burial

hamzen said:The problem for me with dubstep is a lack of energy. It has the sounds and the vibe but unless im smoking a lot of weed i don't really want to listen to it particularly. I appreciate the whole mediatation stance of the live setting but so what. I want to go out, do drugs, get some anger out and escape. I want to get away from the rest of my life. For me the cathartic element is key. The most important thing right now for me is a sense of movement and forward progress though.
Different peoples experiences I guess, but I've never experienced so much energy out as at dubstep nights. I find the bass so powerful, and not in a compressed dnb kinda way, that it's like being wired straight into into the plug socket, although I guess if you're talking social energy then superfically yeah.
One of the side benefits of meditate on bass weight is surely that it takes you right out of your normal reality, sense of self etc, but because it's seriously grounded you end up having cleared a lot of head stuff rather than just escaped it, that's been my experience anyways.
