    Many people hate to leave their comfort zone while listening to music and because of it they become stuck.

    Is that similar to constantly walking around during a concert to find the best listening spot?

    Yes, but opposite.

    Heh

    his old tracks sounded like he was trying to find the girl, now he has the girl.

     

     

    haha i mentioned something similar once.

     

    also, legowelt and ceephax took kinda similar trajectories imo. the've both made loads of gems but can't be bothered anymore to make significant efforts with their music, now they're just in the game for fun it seems. which results in unsignificant semi-shitty music imo.

    the paranormal soul album was nice though.

    I've said that about Ceephax for years now but people think I'm just hattin'. He overcooks everything he does now, the melodies start nice, nice hooks, nice atmosphere then the melodies shift into this ultra cheesy and I hate to say it but it really does sound like elevator music, or better yet, the idea of what I think elevator music would sound like. Then he has to use the freaking 303 of course since he's the acid protégé, his drums are getting worse and worse, too many X0X drum-machines. Listen to probey live, sounds way better without those annoying cheesy interludes.

     

     

    Either way Legowelt should stick to what he does best and that's electro-disco and italo traxxx.How can anyone deny that this is way better than anything he put out since?

    Although I love those retro sounds, I do have the impression that he has milked that cow plenty. More of those retro sounds add nothing. And I must admit I quite like his new tunes as well. To my ears he has a fuller and broader soundpalette nowadays. It's more accessible, but not necessarily in a bad way, imo. Less Kraftwerk, and more ...euh... Quincy Jones!?
    That's fair but he's been doing the "woolly esoteric techno" for years too, he just switched from something that took effort and imagination to something easy that sounds nice enough. I just scratched him off the list to the point that I don't even check his new tracks to see if he's back Ontrackv2.
    Hatters gonna hat
