-- only geeks listen to minimal?
Pages (9): « 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 7 8 9 »

I have tryed to heard (or like) minimal many times, but each time I was bored. I don't understand why it is so popular right now. I heard electronic music since more than 10 years now, and minimal is the style that bore me the most. In my opinion the word minimal is the good name for this style of music. I would like to know how many minutes a producer of minimal take to make a title. 10 minutes ?

Are people here talking about minimal, or 'minimal'?

Hehe, me too sometimes. Especially when I see some producers releasing like 1 EP per month...

However, 'minimal' is not the only type of music that suffers from this. The same could be said about every genre that has ever reached a certain amount of popularity. There are always people who want to make a quick buck out of current hot trend with simply following the already used presets and formulas.

Minimal may sound simple but that doesn't mean it actually is simple or easier to produce than any other music.

Do I even need to point out the irony here?

Good for you, I guess.

Originally posted by Mr.Mystery I just always find the "I didn't use to like genre xx but then I heard it in a club..." comments a bit weird.

It's usually cause it's the first time they have given genre x a listen for more than 2 minutes, and they have frequently been fucked out of their faces whilst doing so.

In that case, I'll ignore it until the buzzword for this sound moves onto the next one: deep house.

God do I hate this thread.

Originally posted by Mr.Mystery Why not? Most clubs I've gone to have had a chillout room.

If it's anything like our chillout room it should generally be delegated to vampire bat rape jokes, not ambient.

Ok, bad joke, temporarily leaving thread now.

On the subject of 'I thought X sucked till I heard it at a club,' I think it's pretty reasonable. EDM is, well 'dance' music after all, it's designed for a massive sound system and the dancefloor, some less so, perhaps, but when it comes to stuff like techno, hard dance, whatever, stuff that's designed with dancing in mind, I don't think it's unreasonable at all to claim that you can't appreciate it until you've heard it in the proper environment.

sounds fucking great in a club. best music to be fucked up out of your mind too at a club if you like losing your mind.

Clubbing = sitting in a chillout room?

Does it always have to be going out and reaching for those lasers?



I can, and have, fully appreciated a good ambient night out - believe it or not, we were actually able to talk to each other AND listen to good music out at a club.

Who'd have thought, right?

You can sit if you wish.

Sit, stand, lay down...whatever you prefer

Seriously, chill out and ambient lounges fucking pwn. I've never really liked clubs anyway, because i can't dance... I can diddy bop though

That's not minimal, but 'minimal'. Still, point proven.

It's a lot more difficult than you think. More to it than meets the ear.

And please for fucks sake stop with the whole this isn't minimal it's 'minimal' bullcrap, God is that annoying.
