yeah I see what you mean
you're right too
but this gets pretty metaphysical
hah we don't have to get into it
the possible implications are vast
want to hear the gist
well mostly i'm interested in the direction of the flow. I think some stuff comes into the genres from art - I think Aphex Twin has listened to Stockhausen
but some stuff I think is the other way around- for example I think that Philip Glass has borrowed some ideas about repetition-as-structure from early electronic guys like Moroder
I think "art" still leads metal, although some relatively ambitious metal artists have begun converging with avant garde classic artists
later Opeth and Moondog, for example
at a certain point of maturity, lots of metal groups seem to drop a lot of the indicia of "metal"
the distorted guitars, for instance
this would include the dungeon synth guys and some guys who are basically just folk artists
like Empyrium
Tenhi
but they got to it by way of playing black metal early on
and that is very audible in the sound
i have a question
go
is it wrong of me, to think that the world at large, should be alot more like this videogame trailer ?
is it wrong to feel that we as a planetary race, should be alot further along, not only technologically, but also culturally, and spiritually ?
that looks like a lame commercial from the 80s for Boeing
Delay is inherent within a democratic system
gridlock was the very purpose of our founders
these things are not physically possible
its not a straight line to galaxy wars
and why not, fallot ?
you tell me why we should magically progress to whatever we want to do
why shouldn't we be limited
in the 50's and 60's, we imagined that by around the year 2000 we would be venturing to the moon, in much the same manner as one would take a car roadtrip across the country
people imagine lots of things
its totally unfeasible to do anything to or on the moon
except as a feat of accomplishment for its own sake
so, you are saying that there is no future for humanity beyond the moons orbit ?
there may be a far future for humanity within the solar system
who knows
but that's entirely speculative fantasy
it is here be dragons style talk
you should think about the things you want
