Wow, OK. To each his own. I'll just leave you with this: There's a big wide world of music out there, and I think it's sad that you're able to appreciate only this much of it (holds thumb and forefinger a millimeter apart).

Some jazz (particularly the slower songs on several classic jazz albums) is OK, but generally, there is too much inprovisation in jazz.

He should - the stuff is as free from "black music" as it gets, and the Emperor/Dark Tranquillity school certainly crams more twin guitar melodic riffing, key and tempo changes into the songs than any 'conventional' rock band I can think of. But as the above list suggests, Geir likes his music aesthetically conventional, right?
― Siegbran (eofor), Monday, 3 March 2003 15:25 (twenty-one years ago) link
hahahahaha! You really believe there's a 'perfect' formula out there?What if someone such as yourself said this in 1960, everyone followed it, and your 'perfect' Beatles were stuck doing Irving Berlin covers?Now, I understand that you probaly mean this formula is perfect in your eyes, but how are you so sure there's nothing that can be produced that you'd like better?
― oops (Oops), Monday, 3 March 2003 15:46 (twenty-one years ago) link
Quite right. I of course sympathize with him on the whole 'find your own aesthetic' point, and at the same time I'm rather glad it isn't mine...
As for GH...oh dear oh dear oh dear. Matos, Blount, I take it all back - let him have it.
It won't work. I understand, though. Somewhere in groups.google.com is the massive 1995 or so argument I had with him that tired me out after about a month or something.

But I've had second thoughts about a few of these--Stevie Wonder has to have his no-seeing ass on the list. Replace Rundgren with Music of My Mind by Stevie Wonder, then, but although Songs in the Key of Life is probably a better record than Jailbreak, keep Lizzy on for fun.
Matos and I agree on four records, then; Hongro on one; JBR and I agree on none; Murphy on none; Blount on none.

Yea, this guy is a compulsive troll. Notice in the second thread (which seems to be his grand entrance to USENET) how many newsgroups its crossposted to (seven) and how its essentially tailor made to incite anger in each. For instance, his claim that people are tiring of hip-hop back in 1996 and then the act of xposting it to alt.rap. Not to mention that in retrospect this looks hilarious.
He'd be ingenious if the methodology hadn't already been being used for many years by other far more successful internet whacks. So, if thee be smart, learn from the mistakes of others before you; don't feed the trolls.

Beluister muziek fragment met RealPlayer G2 0'21" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In "The Phare of Biarritz" heb ik deze akkoordengroep toegepast. In het volgende voorbeeld zijn de overmatige drieklanken uit de vierklanken geïsoleerd. Een andere manier om tot vierklanken te komen is de stuurtonen te maken tot toongroepen. De stuurgroepen bestaan namelijk uit 4 tonen. Een voorbeeld: Uur XI wordt gestuurd door uur VI. Als uur XI bestaat uit de akkoorden E mineur Fis mineur Gis majeur Ais majeur dan is de stuurgroep: E Fis Gis Ais. Neem je hiervan de eerste omkering, dan ontstaat er een Fis79 accoord zonder kwint. De hele groep van complementaire vierklanken, die weer af te leiden is van het zesde uur is: De twaalfde uur variatie is te horen in de alt-solo en de bas-solo van "2soon2die"; de elfde uur variatie in de bas-solo van "Onweer", en de C-melody-saxsolo in dezelfde compositie is gebaseerd op de zesde uur variatie. Beide composities zijn te vinden op de CD "Ear Opener" van het Theo Hoogstins Octet. Dit zijn slechts enkele voorbeelden van toepassingen van de toonklok. De mogelijkheden zijn vrijwel onbeperkt, denk maar aan transpositie van harmonieën, toepassingen in lintharmonisaties waarbij het mogelijk is twee linten die op verschillende uren zijn gebaseerd gezamenlijk te laten klinken. Ook als analysemodel is de toonklok al zeer waardevol gebleken, bijvoorbeeld in het artikel uit Entre’Act van Andre Douw. Concluderend kan worden gesteld dat de ordening van tonen, zoals weergegeven in de toonklok, kan leiden tot een andere kijk op zowel componeren als improviseren. Het is een allesomvattend systeem voor harmonie in de chromatische toonladder, dat een componist in staat stelt het hele scala van klankkleuren te overzien en op een consistente manier toe te passen. Het kost misschien enige tijd en studie om een dergelijke manier van werken onder de knie te krijgen, maar het is zeker de moeite waard voor musici die op zoek zijn naar nieuwe klankstructuren. Dat de beschreven klanken thuis horen in het jazzidioom blijkt wel uit de kop van de recensie van Frans van Leeuwen: "Hoogstins klinkt jazzy en vertrouwd" (NRC, 7/10/92).
