Not to be a lethargic lurker, but uh I guess I'm lazy - who is Geir Hongro (besides 'that guy posting right there') and where does this stuff pop up?

Level 42 (SNIP) actually WERE trained jazz-funk musos and their stuff bordered on the amelodic most of the time

I don't see the point in clubs for indie fans at all. At least clubs where you are supposed to dance. Indie fans don't dance.

Indie fans don't dance, they just pull up their pants and do the rockaway

No, it is just yet another evidence that (melodic) pop will always remain better than rock.

Correct, but English melodies are about a hundred times inferior to the Arabesk pop of müslüm gürses. Listen to Tanri istemezse and you will realise that the entire corpus of white pop music is not nearly melodic enough. and that is just one song. Key changes mask a lack of talent.

12 tones are too mathematically limited. To have absolute melodic supremacy you need complete resolution, and 12 tones do not fully resolve.
