bump... very interesting argument
...i for one, being both a jazz musician and someone who does sampler based music (but not very well
), cringe when i hear self professed geniuses like Simon slam a whole current of music that was in many ways the mother of all the music he's referring to... the utmost in pseudo-intellectual and misinformed, not to mention prejudiced... he really doesn't know or appreciate jazz or other music that doesn't fit his rather narrow concept of music by such comments, imo
...just sitting here and listening to tracks like Amalgamation of Sounds' "guilty as charged" and Les Gammas vs. Karl Berger's "discipline", my argument against people like Simon's and the whole issue of intonation and harmony+melody is reinforced... all imo of course, listen and judge for oneself i always recommend...
...and at the end of the same lp, is a track that perfectly exemplifies "hardcore" modulation but further twists it in a way that makes it sound jazzy ("its all related to life" by procreation, fourth mode chords that move in a 1, 1-1/2, 4, 7 progression...bad!)
