One of my favorite tracks from a group I like.
Looked up the samples and came across this masterpiece

One of my commuting albums
Also I did a thing and bought boatload more music on bandcamp
and I've also wondered if I should upgrade from my Sennheiser hd25ii's. No real reason they largely work though cables probably need replaced I need to replug them in 50% of the time. They're 7-8 years old maybe. I don't even know where I bought them to be sure how old they are.

There is a short album of these weird songs made by some mad record producer and his 12 year old daughter. I actually dig them.SuperJail Warden wrote:
I didn't know this was inspired by blade runner until watching it last week

the list of electronic music that mentions blade runner is veeeeeeeery long. i’m not sure the movie is even that good.
Let me guess, you haven't seen it.
Fuck Israel
who hasn’t seen blade runner? it’s not exactly Cats.
my point was it’s still a touchstone for music from about 20 different genres. the musical legacy of vangelis possibly outweighs the cinematic one at this point. the actual film is far from perfect. have you seen it? a lot of it is almost studiously boring, and not in an ‘adult sci fi’ way like tarkovsky, either.

Vangelis stole a lot of it from Jarre, who had his dad write most of it.
Fuck Israel
i mean you’re talking about people making symphonic and grandiose music with polysynths in the 70s and 80s. the list of people is actually pretty short. jarre is up there as are a cohort of germans. i’m okay crediting vangelis with his work, though.
musically it’s not that interesting compared to lots of other mid-century classical music, but people like the blade runner soundtrack because it’s obviously incredibly evocative and, on an anorak level, it’s fun to listen to ginormous sounding synths that once cost as much as a terraced house.

Arcade Fire
That's an absolutely beautiful track, Mac. Not sure if you've come across it, but you may also enjoy this version:
The shape of an eye in front of the ocean, digging for stones and throwing them against its window pane. Take it down dreamer, take it down deep. - Other Families
Watching Arcade Fire perform Rebellion at Coachella is one of my all-time favorite concert moments. I just realized that was over 15 years ago holy shit.

Not sure if I shared this before but this video was uploaded in 2006 and I just found and liked it.
that band were huge in the UK in the mid-2000s. about as cringe as all the landfill emo music that was released then too.

Emo music is the music of our generation. Boomers had rock and roll. Millennials got emo. Gen Z got whatever it is they listen to.
it is nowhere near as significant as original rock. not everyone had box fringes, dyed black hair, and constantly updated myspace pages. a lot of us found that very embarrassing even at the time.
how is that music even listenable now, today, outside of the social hype of then? it's just a guy squawking like an annoyed rooster over a 3-note melody composed on a microkorg. naff.

I agree that dad rock was more influential than emo music. I grew up listening to classic rock on my family car rides and in the shop. But let's be real about classic rock for a moment: a lot of it was just as meh and over hyped as anything made in the early 2000's. You can't really sit and and talk to a girl or make love to Kurt Cobain screaming "Right Now" 10 times.
No one catches feelings while listening to Iron Maiden.

kurt cobain was early 90s grunge. your definite of 'classic rock' seems to be a bit diffuse. i wouldn't class iron maiden as classic rock, either.

Classic rock stations definitely play Nirvana.
Classic rock stations seem to need all the help they can get to avoid playing "Hotel California" on repeat. There were a couple I used to listen to on my commute when I first started working and the sheer repetitiveness actually spurred me to appreciate even shitty pop.
i would put classic rock and its listeners a generation behind nirvana and grunge. that was very much gen x stuff.
classic rock is the canonical, album-oriented stuff. all the usual big names: led zep, pink flloyd, rolling stones, beatles. the eagles, beach boys, fleetwood mac. jimi hendrix and memories of 'nam, you know.
generationally, i'd say it includes the 1980s and the harder stuff that came out then. guns & roses, ac/dc, def leppard, etc.
but i think 1990s music was a counter-culture that was explicitly in reaction to 'classic' rock and things like metal, especially the silliness of glam rock, hair metal, etc. all that stuff with men on stage in platform shoes and sequined leotards. nirvana swept all of that away in the 1990s and the music was released (then) on smaller, underground labels, and started talking about things like 'authenticity' and 'cool' a lot more. so came the birth of gen x.
semantics, though, i know. i take your point.
