| Metal would've been even more awesome if it was more repetitive, something I used to say even when I was 11 years old. |

Thanks for sharing Dave.
There's quite a few interesting things in this article but the passage about how we hear sound as music, and listen to musicality of something even when we don't understand the words.
One example of this is Andy Moor's work. He has been doing this wort of thing for years, chopping up vocals so they make no sense in terms of words/sentences but they form musical passages, but then the important bit is that by using repetition, you find yourself recognizing non-sensical vocal passages.
There's one track by him (maybe a Ronski speed remix) where the vocals sound like they could be words but they never quite form what you're looking to recognize (in fairness it could actually be greek).
Does anyone know the track I'm talking about? Etheral voice, circa 2004/2005 and the vocals say something "sea a'mihalo, see aaaah, ruoyy" etc etc.
They weirdly get in to your head but mean nothing and it's purely clever musical repetition.
One other struclk we as well. It was someone Palm (Clay) touched on a few weeks ago, about listening to his Dad's jazz and how he hated it as it always changes, bar on bar, and the type of music he likes is a response to that of sorts, in that it has repetition grooves, that virtually become the background or something you subconsciously absorb, and find yourself listening to minute changes in structure as the track evolves.
I find that sort of thing really interesting. Actually a lot of (real) prog does this, present company of MSZ included; that sort of driving prog that contains subtle changes in repetition to build both an atmosphere and instantly recongizable sound.
Artists like Dousk and Chris Lake are really good at this of thing.
Oh and as for you two banging about how ing great metal is? Wash your ing mouth out.
Look what happened the last time a Metaler thought it would be a good idea to make dance music:

Immediately thought of Perasma - Swing 2 Harmony, same era (2004).
I remember reading that the producer got a lot of questions
about what the singer was saying, but he didn't know either.
Still a lovely tune.
And indeed, Dousk too (also from 2004).
