I\'ve found with "progressive" electronic music, I like it better as an accompaniment to doing something, like writing, driving, etc., because it keeps flowing and changing and propelling you forward.

so what you\'ve actually found, as i pointed out earlier, is music that doesn\'t challenge the listener, that doesn\'t require active listening and is just background noise. that\'s fine, but in no way interesting, to me.


please please please give a listen to shpongle\'s "nothing lasts..." if you would like a sendspace or an oink invite (i have 10 of them...please somebody take one), i would be happy to hook you up.  i don\'t want to seem pushy...just trying to spread some good music that will definitely expand your mind



if you have it up there i\'ll take a listen... shoot me a link if you have one
never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you

Jason, FSOL is electronica. Your comments have been made towards electronic music in general.

but there were, according to an article i read, a great many actual musicians invoved, not just an 808 and loops. when i think electronic music, i think music without actual musicians. or music like sts9, where the musicians have to play around what the computer is doing. the fsol was just nice editing of other musician\'s music, to my ears.

i was about to get pissed off, but then i just fell asleep instead... so far, so dull. this is exactly the in-the-background, nothing-to-challenge-your-ears/listening kind of pablum i was talking about. like, if it were a choice between this album and total silence, i\'d put on this album. but i\'d rather just turn on a fan....
