dr lopez Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 if i have to read one more "elegy to rave" or "incorporating rave elements for the 21st century" in a write up for a new release i will spit. it's such an annoying buzzy phrase right now. look people, we already had the perfect rave elegy and it was alright! by bogdan LITERALLY 10 years ago.

Alcofribas Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 if i have to read one more "elegy to rave" or "incorporating rave elements for the 21st century" in a write up for a new release i will spit. it's such an annoying buzzy phrase right now. look people, we already had the perfect rave elegy and it was alright! by bogdan LITERALLY 10 years ago. it’s cool how using certain sounds or motifs that are aspects of a genre is doing an elegy. doing distortion is also elegiac i think and possibly also slow music. if you incorporate elements 10 or more years after they were common you’re either doing an elegy or cultural critique imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweepstakes Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Only thing I can think of that 1) I actually listened to 2) came out this year 3) is worth of AOTY is Narkopop. The Rolando Simmons is pretty good but not in that league - I don't find myself wanting to listen to it except that first track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweepstakes Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Oh, I forgot Meatbingo - The Error of My WAVs. I think this has to be my default AOTY vote because I have been listening to it more than anything else this year. I expect to be in the minority because it's not very IDM and it is unashamed to be cheesy, but it's great driving and working music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
