Loan words are borrowed from other cultural contexts? You saying Coltranes vocabulary contained loan words or it didn't?

And euro synth pop had no loan words? And autechre only has loan words? Where are the words loaned from?

oh come off it, listen to something like Alice Coltrane's 70s works and its obvious. she was trying to sound middle eastern or indian. all the tamboura decorations and the harp, the abandonment of free jazz for something more earthy or spiritual. I'm saying this as a fan of Alice but coltrane took the droning and dissonant tonalities of Indian ragga and integrated them into his own style of playing, rather than just adopting them. and i think Autechre did with Mantronix. which is what separates them from so much new electro.

yeah i just mistyped indian ragga but I'm sweating balls and nneed to eat.

just tell us why its bland then? if you think they are derivative or whatever.

Like im not gonna convince you they aren't, but also being into them so much i can see where people may find them uninteresting, in the same way that i can see where people find non-rnb based electronic music unappealing.

Nothing happens when I listen to it. It doesnt demand attention. It doesn't repay attention. It's not an atmosphere. It's not a feeling. It's not an idea. It's not a sensation. It's just wallpaper. Completely inert. I suppose that's the point of it but I can't do anything with it personally. It's not aggressively anti music. It's almost passively anti music, or inadvertently anti music. Dunno. I don't recoil from it like I do from things I hate, just totally unaffected by it. Quite strange In That sense.

that's weird. no it's not aggressively anti-music that's quite correct but it's always demanding attention from me. all the micro-rhythmic inflections, the weird blips and birts pof abstract sound, the rhythmic texture changing whilst keeping a groove, it commands my attention.

no I'm just a bit distraught that for all your feminin presha vibe you want stuff to be aggressively smacking you in the face like a spunking cock from secondary school.

I really hope this was a joke.

Life knocks the stuffing out of you. You can't control the entirety of your surroundings. People die, go mad, get locked up, go under, and you feel in some way responsible. You feel like you've lost control even if your personal ability and power increases. It's a hard road. That's how it is.
