haha, Tim F!
I agree with most of the post, tlg. I now mostly resist making negative comments apart from when you really feel the urge to make a particular point. I'd criticise someone's opinion on a movie or book more readily but I'd still be reluctant to do so about something someone liked a lot but then again sometimes you've watched Midsommar and you really need to say something.

the music discussion i tend to enjoy nowadays is less analysis and more description. i wanna know more about music scenes i don't have first-hand access to, i like to be able to imagine myself in the situation in which the music sounds best

I think it’s really just a question of “can this person say anything interesting about this music other than expressing their dislike”. It’s a lot harder to do so with something you dislike because there’s not much motivation to spend time with your dislike, examine it from multiple angles, come up with an articulation of it that isn’t just a patchwork of received wisdoms etc.
One way in is to frame the question as “what could this music do that would make me like it more?” But the problem is that most answers to that are just, “be more like this music over here which I am already emotionally or financially invested in boosting”, which is really just a device to excuse and justify further non-engagement.
In this thesis I will-

also i should clarify i don't mean to police this thread or board, if being negative nancy is your deal have at it and i won't criticize further, but that's basically how i break it down to an extent re: how i want to spend my time on the internet at the ripe old age of 43 vs 23

As for that track that caused the kerfuffle, I did go back and listen to it again, on my studio monitors. I still think the sample is wildly irritating, but the peak of distorted madness is kind of nice...I just don't like the rest of the track, which relies on an uncomplicated beat, little in terms of secondary rhythmic structures, and a vocal sample. It just doesn't move me at the moment, whereas the Sansibar track I posted above it is really where I'm at... Listening to a lot of electro these days!

I like descriptions of texture, vibe, and what kind of scene a techno/house/etc track might fit into and possibly a “TIP!” if it’s especially gooddance music is interesting in, like other types of sounds that might be more tracky than songy, there’s a place for standalone songs, dj tools, peak hour intensity, weird experiments

Very much so.
Different genre of not my style at the moment, but I used to drop this all the time at parties in the mid to late aughts. Another MJ sample, made crowds go mental.

Direct or indirect MJ references are all the rage in Nigeria this year:
naming songs after him... dressing up and dancing like him... making songs that sound like him...interpolating his melodies and videos... and... naming songs after him - sorry Angola, you got there first
well, not really, if we go back far enough

posting extremely late to say i love when people get mad at a song ... forces me to take a side ... in this case I listened to the song & it was the very act of his dislike that made me like the vocal sample ... could have gone either way tbh. But in this case I think its exactly the 'annoying' vocal sample that makes it hooky & memorable for me. Annoying stuff rules! Except when it sucks

like how many bajillions of minimal techno songs this board has put me onto over the years and i don't think i've ever really heard a song lean on that particular vocal tone before ... wow finally something stands out enough to annoying the table is the table!! thats a point in favor (no disrespect specifically to TITT in this instance)

I'll take the cheeky BS of Marc Houle's Techno Vocals over that big-room crap any day.
― healthy cocaine off perfect butts (the table is the table), Monday, 14 September 2020 14:40 (three years ago) link
oddly enough i always thought of marc houle as the one of the leading exponents of "annoying noise big room minimal" (the others being audion, switch and simian mobile disco)

Lol I’m never posting links to anything in this thread.But I am really sick of the clean reverby techno that just sounds like it’s made for bomb disarming scenes in Tom Clancy movie adaptations or something... probably sounds better at Berghain or something. I know I’m probably the last person to care.

my thing with big room techno is just that big concrete dance clubs / sex dungeons with funktion one sound aren't even on the menu for a rich person right now. i mean they were always off the menu for me. and i'm over wanting to go to one anyway. it's just not attractive to me right now. i'm thinking of ostgut ton, i'm thinking of a recent ellen alien / matrixxman boiler room set i saw as an example. ellen was playing that kind of thing and it just looked so silly to me over streaming audio; i'm sure it would have been amazing in a concrete sex dungeon. idk what i'm really saying, sort of being randomly critical i guess. i still enjoy anything that anyone posts to this thread on some level.

it's sort of like i guess i'm rooting for that sound to brighten up a little bit (from halfway around the world). like i'm rooting for most of the air-tight burning man 'deep nature' sound to fracture into a million little pieces and turn into something with some life in it that isn't wallpaper music for graphic design execs.
