You know what mate,i listen to some of the most depressing stuff you'll ever hear .but you'll be hard pushed to find a more postive lad.
same with the likes of anyone who listens to this kinda stuff IMO
I find its usually the lads/gals who find emotion in music that sounds depressing rather than just the uptempo/High Bpms that are the ones with a more postive outlook in life...,
But thats just me
Not just you mate - almost everybody I know who's into that stuff is a little bit 'enlightened' if that makes sense.
Some top stuff on here guys - much appreciated. I'll have to get some time to find them. I dug out some old stuff this morning and it's on the ipod - superb. It made me think though - we had hip hop, then we had house, then we had acid house, and we had native tongues/daisy age/laid back hip hop... and then we had ambient house... and then drum and bass... and then the Bristol sound and so-called Trip Hop... and then Big Beat... but in reality it all melds into one and the best mixes for me are the ones that throw all that in together and then some real left field stuff from comedy and drama and porn and mainstream movies and whatever else, and from all kinds of other genres, and leaves you with a good hour's listening that just blows your mind away.
Anyway blah blah. One other thing - what kind of earphones do you guys use out of interest? I think it's safe to say we're all bassheads.
These are my monitors and they're maybe the best investment I've made in any gadget in recent years.
