I think he realized it quite a long time ago (e.g. http://www.headheritage.co.uk/wsym/mp3s/heed.mp3 ), but he still likes exhuming its past as well (e.g. Brain Donor). Anyway, most electronic music these days seems to be paying homage to the past rather than looking to the future, all those deliriously naff tracks on MTV and Kiss are enough to make me pick up a guitar.

I thought that the whole reason for the young 'uns sinking themselves wholesale into Nu Metal was beacause 'house' music was squared and the type of thing their parents listen to.

'Electronic Music'. Electric guitars and amplifiers are electronic instruments-in fact, all recorded music is electronic in a sense. Music is not automatically cutting-edge simply by virtue of using current technology. Much of todays Modern Rock(blecchhh!) makes liberal use of sampling and sequencing. The current spate of 'electronic 'bands are mostly revisionists anyway-happy to re-create the early-80's sounds of Ultravox et al. instead of exploring the limitless possibilities technology now affords them. 'Electronic' (there's that fucking word again) music by and large tends to have a cold, impersonal feel to it and this is often reflected in its themes. I'm not saying none of it is good, but it usually lacks the visceral impact that ya get from good ol' gtr/bs/drms. It's just different music witha different purpose, that's all. Whether it's played on a guitar ora synth or a kazoo, the bottom line is always-Does it move you?

>>Soft cell are fucken rubbish! DON't gim me that crap! MusIc is abOut Just grasping yer PriMal eMotiOns and using whatever it takes to spit fire in zeee EYES oF fLAKES. Soft Cell are a bad example for proving your point, cHARLIE*. They got plenty Primal on yer ass in their time, matey boy. Almond could spit fire like the best of em. If you're thinking in terms of Tainted Love, then they'd probably agree with you themselves: "The taxi-driver starts to sing One of my songs. One that I like The least, he says: "That was the only one I liked" My face cracks, my misery Increased all my misery All my misery" (from A Million Manias) But you've obviously not heard their commercial suicide album This Last Night In Sodom, which has Almond in bile-spitting deranged drug-fuelled preacher mode, barking blood-shot lyrics of disgust at hypocrites and the 'moral majority'. He spits and snarls so much that he's losing his voice by the end of side one. And Ball slaps screeching guitars all over it and then mixes the whole thing in mono to rough it up even more. I can see why Soft Cell inspire as much irritation as they do devotion, but please don't accuse them of not being emotional or primal enough. Some of their stuff is the sound of a group tearing their hearts out and pulling them apart in front of your eyes. Soft Cell are NOT Blancmange or OMD. (Exhibit No. 694d...) Slave To This Oh... another day another way another life Another day another life ... of existence.... Oh fear, threat and filth Tender in hate Slug and grab Trap and take away Another track Meat rack and ruin Boarded up and beaten up Roaming the streets Have no respect for a life A limb a love Whose love are you anyway? Mother smiles Narrow smiles Drink up your poison Like a good little girl Can't have your coke And beat it you know 'Sick of seeing you bruised and burnt out Ugly and low' So sick and tired Of being sick and tired Of being used and abused That's right (that's right that's right that's right that's right that's right) Pushing through the pavement sprawl Round the late night supermarket Dirtlocked lady Who hits you in the chest Give her all your money, Mr. Barefoot All the year round Please don't breathe on me Oh and Hi there Zizi Jean (night) mare Still sticky from you Still sticky from me (I hear voices) Still sticky from you Still sticky from me Smack kerpow!! Into cold Greaseburger prance Call me Chico Chico from Puerto Rico Guilty of another cold handed sperm murder Forever the crunch of makeup under foot Where will you take me When this is all over? Somewhere where I don't have to Shiver in the shadows... So sick and tired Of being used and abused Everyday You set up Go to work Floating like the ash In the Coffee Pot cafe (that's right that's right that's right that's right that's right) Throwing upon an over-diet Of slob culture Overdose and out I'm scared for you For me For you... no... For me...OK I got so tired of Reading about the anguish of being That I ended up being Without And where will you take me? Where will you take me? Away from this hell to be (or not to be) Pull up the vacancy sign in your eyes I've seen it and I don't like it I've seen it and I don't like it I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired Of being used and abused Hey is this the last night in Sodom? (that's right that's right that's right) Sick and tired.... A day today of a life of existence And his name... is Jesus (You have never known love till you've known the love of god... That's right) Only god may find a way Where there is no way That's right.... Is this the last night in Sodom? (You have never known love till you've known the love of god... That's right) What a waste.... And they never shed a tear For Jesus Christ when he died on the cross And they drove a spike in his side and hammered a crown of thorns on his head What a waste... (M. Almond, NOT Howard Jones)

who died and made you music regulator, do we have an offmuse anyway, and if we do does it have teeth and could it be trained to bite boybands/girlbands/poxy poppy shite boy girl vocalists Anyway it's horses for courses, went up to a pub in derbyshire with some motorbike tourist friends a few weeks ago and in the other room was an all acoustic collection bodran (spelling? irish drum thingy), coulpa guitars, fiddle, flute, singers, huge fire and loadsa real ales and beautiful countryside. Very folky but fircone ace. And last night went all electronic with a host of swirly bands, twizzling me head around and raving madly right at the front, me voice is really hoarse today from all the shouting

So, when are we gonna get a thread discussing whether Bob Dylan should have gone electric or not? PS: It's ALL electric. CD players don't have handles. Pigeon-fucken-holes. Them music journalists have got a lot to answer for. PPS: Queen Elizabeth's electric Vagina.

when is anyone going to realise... that variety, the acceptance of differences, and a refusal to insist upon a single route forward, has always been the way forward...?
