    overdubbing?

    Dark Side of the Moon blew my mind the first time I heard it, not to mention the first time I heard it when I wasn't sober.

    Entirely because of sequencing and layering.

    The problem is in pop music we have never had great singers compared to say opera/classical. It is more about the whole package of entertainment and looks. Now we have expected pop music to be pitch perfect (thanks auto-tune) so much so that people would complain if it wasn't.

    However I think it is fair to say, we've never seen Simon Cowel level of evilness in the history of music and mankind.

    Music will survive Simon Cowell, especially as he's soon to be distracted by family life.

    More worrying is the missing genius of black music. I mean, Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, the four tops, the detroit emeralds, the supremes, James Brown etc etc etc. where are the followups to this great music? Baaaaahhhh!

    Looking at what comes up at the MOBO awards, suspect it has been mauled by generic rap and RnB commercialism like most other music. There was still good (old skool hiphop) stuff around in the 90s (Tribe called Quest, Jurassic 5). Not so much in the past 10 years although there are a few good artists around. Whether we need self-styled 'black' music any more is debatable to me.

    Good music is still out there - it is just harder to find in conventional outlets. I'd struggle without Spotify now - I'd never have come across bands like Blackwater Fever without it.

    Fair comment.

    I was driving the other day and pulled out a random cd that was mainly a Four Tops hits compilation; my mood gradually improved and so did my driving, my attitude and my on-road chivalry. It was the music. I'm sure some of our gangsta's would be less free with the knife and gun if the old skool melodies were around.

    An askew baseball cap, a big clock medallion and shouting obscenities is not good for the soul (no pun intended).

    it depends.. there is place for angst and hate if done correctly
    I mean its all very well listening to happy stuff if your happy but if your not ( at least for me ) it only makes me aware of it even more..

    for me its more about dissonance any way and going new places than going back to old ones , its rare a song evokes old memories unless its been a long time.
