again skafe, you're failing to separate music from lyrics.

I'm not going to defend the fact that I can find emotion in sounds without lyrics. Because that's absurd to say that you can't. Ever hear a whistle? and alarm clock? an air raid siren? all of these elicit different initial base instinct reactions in a person before your brain kicks in and regulates the reaction you have.

I mean for fucks sake man, entire movie soundtracks are there to add emotion to scenes and don't have to have a freaking word. Just listen to the music in "The Fountain" or hell, "Saw" and they use the music so well in those movies (god bless charlie clouser, the fucking magnificent bastard) that it adds an emotional layer and doesn't need a single word to convey what emotion that is.

Electronic music is such a broad term and it is hard to figure out what it means to most people. Will is giving me far too much credit on the whole musician front. I'm completely self taught and it's mostly hours of trail and error, but I keep at it because I like it and I want to be good at what I like doing. (taking self taught piano lessons and such for now)

so again, to flip back to the lyrical side of things, you act like I'm still of the mind set that "all rap sucks" and I believe I stated above that I realize it isn't the case, but that rap "music" sucks, and needs to become a more complex vessel for delivering their expression of choice. Compare "The Streets" video that was linked above musically vs the others and you'll see why I picked that one as my acceptable entry.

and P.S. That aphex twin video is funny, but you haven't seen anything till you've seen "monkeydrummer" lol Richard D. James is a weird fellow, all of his music is pretty difficult to get your head around.... well, not all of it but, a lot of it.
