Quote | I just cannot imagine, how can't you feel the difference between his old, living, emotional music, and this kind of computer generated, dead and sloppy thing? |
I do recognise the difference in music yes, but that still doesn't stop me from enjoying his music, most music nowadays is going the way of computer, it's just a fact that you have to accept really. The use of computer aid in music can really help the artist express exactly what he wants the track in question to sound like, but on another point, i have to agree it can also lead to lazi-ness. I do not believe mike is getting lazy with his music, I rather believe that most people - understandably - do not like computer generated music, in any way shape or form. I do enjoy music that does not use computers, but I am not biased against it.

To be honest, that would depend on what kind of music it was, and how good a job he did of it. I tend not to think about such things, and listen to music before i decide if I like it or not. For example, i do not like the guitars albumn, at all. but that's just me, i didnt like the way it was done, doesn't mean i have to all of a sudden think mike has lost all sense of direction ? he did it the way he wanted to. If, at the end of the day, mike moves his music to a medium, that i personally do not enjoy listening to, i will not listen to it, it's as simple as that. but that wont make me start ranting about it on public discussion forums. One comment from a former engish tutor of mine sticks in my head on this subject with regards to a certain play by Shakespear "It's not to my liking, but i wouldn't dare rubbish it"
The only music i tend to rubbish, is the mass produced stuff, such as death metal, or POP that is designed to sound very ABBA like that has been appearing a lot just recently.
I suppose it's a sad thing that when people dont like music, they call it rubbish, and then start saying people are crazy for liking it, are you going to tell me that im a fool for liking classical music ? or that i enjoy listening to joe satriani ? Personally i didn't particularly enjoy the Amorak albumn, the majority of the stuff was too bland for my liking, but im not going to call you a fool for liking it, maybe it just has aspects to music that you enjoy more than I do. I would rather see people but forward constructive criticism of what they dont like about his albumns, than to say "it's rubbish, it has no *feeling*", ive heard a lot of people say that TB3 has no feeling for example, maybe they didnt listen to the 'jewel in the crown' track ? always moves me personally, and i regular imagine myself playing it whilst listening, i guess people can define/see feeling in certain pieces of music where others can't/wont. I personally find listening to a well trained violinist beautiful and very moving, where as others see it as a load of noise and screeching. Anyway i thik ive gone off on a mad one again i'll stop now before i start discussing politicts
