I've always felt that most of the music of 00.DB (together and the comprising artists solo) lacks any real sense of intuition. It's compositionally sound and can hold its own on the dance floor against the pop gimmicks of so much music out there...but that's it. For me it's never been interesting to just listen to; there's hardly an artistic vision behind it (perhaps that's a bit harsh, however); no ethereal construct arising from its forms and textures. It's intelligent but it's not imaginative.
I am not saying that I wouldn't be shoving my shirtless ass to the front to witness their set at a festival, nor am I saying that I wouldn't be fist-pumping like an idiot. Their music is professional, energetic, and just plain bangin'. But I wouldn't call it art. I wouldn't listen to their music unwinding in my home or on a cruise down the highway, as I would L.S.G. or Sound Field. |
I know what you mean, in that it's quite obviously designed for clubs. I think you're also trying to say that it's very contemporary music, rather than timeless 'art'. However, there are thousands of artists, albums and tracks which you could say the same for, so it's really not that profound of a sentiment.
