Too much influence?

[detfella]

well i wouldnt know as gospel, with zappa ive only ever gone on what people have recommended and told me stories about, ive never been able to get into him or researched him or what he was about, but i think this is a bit of an on going debate as alot of people seem to be convinced he was a space cadet, whilst it is documented in various places that he was as you say anti drugs

either way its tosh to me ;)

now peter tosh...

Me and Brad's foray into Spiritualism has actually made the output more meaningful.

[clubsynthetic]

i got over that when i started listening to techno. listen to everything i try to. and ask myself "how does this make me feel?"

i can't imagine people who would be listening to techno (who probably had to have there eyes opened to it) listeing to someone's choon and overlooking them just because they are not a name. I would see them just avoiding the tune altogether, like me on juno i can't listen to everything so i go with what i know and whats related usually beacuse i don't have the time.

this happens more so in techno than ANY other genre i know off in my experience. I've literaly had people tell me in clubs they only listen to so and so's output or such and such a persons records, believe me mate its sad but too true

[clubsynthetic]

so then their opinions on innovation don't count for shit to me if they ain't heard it.

nice tracks btw eyes

[eyeswithoutaface]

cheers mate, muchos appreciation :)

lol. i feel complete

Who are you to judge what influences my music or anyone else?

[dirty_bass]

I think what I meant by ,my reference to drugs, is that you can`t discount them altogether, nor say they are the only way.
People get inspiration from different places, and have their muses in different areas.
I won`t entirely close my mind to any method, regardless of wether I agree with it or not, and I`ll certainly try anything I haven`t tried before as if you close doors then possible paths of learning are also closed.
I`ve purposfully put myself into various extreme emotional states to see what creative energies can be got from these places, as well as various states of inebriation, meditation and such.
Admittedly my artistic output isn`t restricted to music alone, I paint and write also, so I`m into exploring the mind and spirit for explorative and creative expression anyway.

But I think to totally discount any particular method is to essentially be a little closed minded Scot.
Art is a process of the soul and mind, and everyone has their methods and varying output, which is what makes it all so beautiful, and although we may not understand the methods or output of another artist or artists it doesn`t mean we can`t appreciate what they do and how they do it.

I'm not judging anyones influencies. and i'm not being sarchastic either.

Its all very noble and its cool in my book dude.

here man, i listen to all sorts and don't think twice what stigma it has. But no other ones taste is like ones own and other people's opinions can't change that. I actually think its good chat here. I'm just refereing to people's opinions on my music tastes. if all they've got to say is shite them i'm sorry i don't wanna listen to theres

I was replying more to scot there dude.
but I agree, your tastes are your tastes.

So we assume the following:


Output does not equal input?

[BRADLEE]

All we can really assume i what we hear isnt it? I mean, we can't really know what one was thinking when they were making something right?

Either way no hard feelings....

It's ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC RIGHT?

[The Overfiend]

It's all about the image Brad.

[BRADLEE]

It's all about the image Brad.

I have no recollection of any such occurances senator.

[The Overfiend]

Should the defendant not have any further statements he may be dismissed from the stand.

[dirty_bass]

It`s all about hype and nepotism really.
But we can live in hope.

[eyeswithoutaface]

tea and biscuits for all

[The Overfiend]

I don't like biscuits, pass me the Earl Grey.

Or as Busta Rhymes so eloquently put it.
"Forget the Moet n*gga and pass the Cisco!"
