Ishq - Opal (Original Mix)

Shen - Red Pine Cliff

Well, considering this should be in the electronica forum... Oh wait, there's already a thread for Aphex Twin there...

So is that their new thing now? Spam by PMs...

Do I win the prize? I could go for some cookies right about now... *sigh* But... Joe was just done saying that he found Mozart's music childish... Surely not everyone is going to like Mozart's work... right?

I have to agree with recommending SAW I & II, as well as Drukqs. The other albums are interesting I suppose if you are into different stuff. I haven't listened to all the Analords yet but I wouldn't necessarily recommend them because some of them are rather boring and disappointing for someone like RDJ.

*facepalm* Radi is a story for another time. Anyway, so let me get this crystal clear with an example that you put forward earlier only a little more relevant to the topic. You can choose either Shpongle or FSOL for the example... Example A: Say Person 1 does not like Shpongle/FSOL. He's heard all the current Shpongle/FSOL albums up to 2005. and hates the majority of it. He gives whatever reasons for not liking (or even hating it). This is the year 2005. Fast forward three or four years to the present after being fed Shpongle/FSOL every day in between then and now. Now, Person 1 still hates Shpongle because he had to listen to it for 3-4 years straight. Not solely just Shpongle/FSOL of course but he had to listen to at least a couple songs each day since then to now. He picks the songs that are the least annoying to him. He tells you that while his musical "tastes" sine then have change but he still dislikes/hates Shpongle/FSOL because he was basically force fed it for 3-4 years and has even more reasons now as to why he dislikes/hates said band. Is he wrong for the reasons he gives? Example B: Person 2 dislikes Shpongle/FSOL. She gives her reasons why said band is not good in her eyes. She's heard all the albums up to 2005 and likes none of them aside from a song here and there. This is the year 2005. Fast forward to the present and all the same spiel as in the first example except... Person 2 likes Shpongle/FSOL now. She has grown to like the albums and gives her reasons why she her "tastes" in music have changed and that Shpongle/FSOL are in new and different light than before. She thanks you for force feeding her good music because it made her realize the err in her ways. Is she wrong for giving her reasons why she likes Shpongle/FSOL now then before? The answer to both examples is a resounding... No. They're entitled to they're opinion and taste in music. That's it. That's all. Endo story. Now when it comes to respect for musicians that people dislike is a similar to that of musical taste. People are always going to be judgmental about stuff they have an opinion about or even if they don't have an opinion. It's just the way humans are wired, I suppose. You cannot change that fact overnight or at all probably. So when you can't understand why people hate or love certain music or art or whatever, then listen to their reasons and respect that those are their reasons. There is little point to try to convince someone otherwise when they are determined in their decisions in this matter.

Androcell - Soul In the Machine

Dude, what the hell? You're just going around in circles at this point. So you love Shpongle. OK WE KNOW KNOW, THANKS FOR SHARING. I have to agree with Joe on this one. Go debate some Giant Communist Robots if you're going to separate objectivity from personal preference/taste. What you're seemingly trying to think is that you can't have objectivity if you don't respect artist for their work even if people don't necessarily like the work. They're two separate things. People will always be objective about music whether they respect someone for their work or not. Don't be upset if people are not turned on by the music you like the most when they think it isn't that great. I know, I am that way sometimes too but you have to live with it. @Jikkenteki: I never had drugs either. So I guess you and I are in the same boat.... right?

It's growing on me.
