Is that a bad thing? Good music is meant to be listened to.

Wait, so that little 'dig' was for my benefit was it? You obviously don't know me very well.

Originally posted by mto Pretentiousness? Not at all. I dig the album and that's why I felt it was important to talk about it. Mikey, there's nothing "leet" about this thread at all. If you didn't come off like a jerk-off in your initial post, I wouldn't have made the PvD statement. Everyone deserves to listen to whatever they like. My initial post wasn't a pompous post either, I simply believe BT is just above all the people I mentioned when it comes to production.

Honestly, you sound like a jerkoff in your initial post. Wasn't really a cool way of going about this at all.

Originally posted by Zild I know a lot of musicians who are technically amazing, but they have no feeling. And I know people who aren't very technical, but they can make you feel their music.

It's like the difference between a Joe Satriani solo and a Neil Young solo.

Not a bad thing at all, but many people don't like to pay too much attention. Some would rather get a momentary high from just listening to a record one time than sit there, digest it over a few listens, and then fully appreciate it. See what I mean? Oh, and you're a Crimson fan... so to you and I this makes sense. Lol.

I'm a persuasive writer who commands respect! haha. I'm BSing, but are we all 14 year old females here and we get so emotional if someone gets in our faces?

Couldn't agree more. Technical prowess pales in the face of raw emotion everytime.

And this thread is uber pompous.

No, but it's pretty funny to see you call out Mike on being a specific way when you did the same thing.

BT is really not my cup of tea. Most of his stuff is way too boring and doesnt have an 'international' feel to it. IMO the only good track on TBU is The AntiKythera Mechanism which is pretty sick I will admit.

BT is a legend nowdays

You telling us that we need to listen to musicians outside of the EDM world to fully 'appreciate' BT's This Binary Universe is absurd.

This whole high & mighty pompous bullshit you're talking about right now is only strengthening Ishkur's previous point on BT.

I don't listen to any of those previous artists you've mentioned, but I can still understand or 'feel' the music on TBU just fine.

Do I need to take a musical theory class to be able to understand works of Beethoven, Mozart or any other classical musician? No.

Don't get me wrong. I love TBU. It's a great album. I don't believe for a second though that you need previous musical influences to be able to fully appreciate or understand this album.

Get off your high horse and just appreciate the music for what it is.
