Black people to thread!

Nothing is ever rhythmic enough. Rhythm is the only important thing in music; anything without a certain minimal level complex rhythms just isn't particularly intellectually stimulating.

Hocus Pocus by Focus is ruined by its relentless melodic spasms

James Brown, "Please Please Please". I'm serious, I only like his non-bluesy stuff. "It's a Man's World" doesn't do it for me either, the singing's good tho

Physics Question: If Geir crashes into an anti-Geir HTML tag, would the mass-to-energy explosion be strong enough to blast the ILXor server into geosynchonous orbit?

late-period Talking Heads, what crap. also the less-rhythmic Led Zep stuff totally falls apart

Most of pop music, actually. And all of progressive rock. And Global Communication's "73:14". Etc. etc.

As a doctor I can safely say that if your heartbeat was melodic as opposed to rhythmic you would be in a state of Atrial Fibrillation and you would die

Test tones

King Tubby disagrees with you, Andrew

I'm happy to lose to him, tho when did he put out a test tone? Or was that something he liked to listen to?

How about every song on _Haunted Science_ after "Who Are You"?

Test tones pop up in many many dubs, King Tubby or otherwise. Of course, there's not a dub of ONLY test tones (as far as I know...)

I think I have quite a few records featuring test tones... I was kinda thinking of that time a John and Yoko record that mistakenly featured tTones got reviewed as a "RECORD". Most things are really intensely rhythmic, including (LIKE) us

Keith Fullerton Whitman, "Track 3a (2waynice)"

"Conga," Miami Sound Machine.

this line has the potential to be one of the best song titles ever.

All the early Funkadelic songs that sound too much like Frank Zappa. (And no, don't ask me to name them. I've blocked them from memory.)

the new LCD Soundsystem 7"....

Jean Michel Jarre: "Waiting For Costeau". :-)

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 21:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Not that said Jarre track isn't melodic, nor harmonic, enough either. :-)

Same applies to part of Eno's "Music For Airports" btw. But at least, both that one and the Jarre track are perfect if I can't get to sleep. :-)

Geir in seeing alternate function of music shockah!

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 21:42 (twenty-two years ago)

most of what Whitehouse release would be improved millionfold if they had beats of some kind

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 10 April 2003 00:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I could use some more beats on Vicar in a Tutu, actually.
