the truth hurts wrote:So don't get me wrong. I'm not a mean person, and I'm not hating just for the sake of hating. In fact, I would say that what I'm doing is a public good... something along the lines of telling your friend when he/she gets a really bad haircut. Because no one wants to walk around not knowing they have a bad haircut.
Because THIS HAS TO STOP. This is unhealthy. Actually, this is painful. I barely managed to get through a couple of these trax, and I couldn't bear anymore. So let's say it's 1998, or even 1999. Maybe, just MAYBE I could see these trax coming out during the progressive house/trance hysteria when soooo much bad music came out. But to see that people are still putting their valuable time and money into stuff like this now is just wrong. In fact, I could argue that it should be illegal. Well, I guess that would be censorship, and censorship would be worse. But getting back to the topic at hand...
Sure sure sure... it's a matter of opinion, and art is art. So much of art has to do with how the work affects us as individuals. But sometimes, there's bad art. I mean really really bad art. I don't care what people say... art can be objectively bad. It's a well known truth... c=3x10^8 m/s, q=1.62x10^-19 C, and “Strange Night”=bad music.
Ok, so maybe I’m being harsh. But the truth hurts. It’s somewhat like that philosophical question, “would you rather be ignorant and blissful, or omniscient and sad.” Anyway, it’s important that you find out now. Make ambient music, techno, jungle, or even house. Actually, that 2:20 long breakdown in “Strange Night” alone could be an ambient track. (Yes, I measured, and yes, it’s a 140 second breakdown, and yes I measured twice in disbelief.)
I guess what I’m trying to say is that you need to stop making music like this for your own good (and our good too). I can tell that you spent a lot of time on these trax (and a lot of money on software). Use them to do good, not evil. I know the dark side is strong, but you can be stronger.
Ok everyone has a right to express their opinions (jealousy) but what annoys me is when one overreacts. Sure, maybe the tracks are a little dated (but like i said the 3rd one i do like), but does that mean one has to stop what they passionately love to do just to please everyone else? If that were the case, we wouldn't have diversity now would we?
Oh and by the way, how about letting us hear some of your HEALTHY tracks?
i can live with that
