That was so well written it should be in a magazine dude. I’m stepping down and appointing you as the new active rock analyst and journalist of ILP.
I agree, Silhouette did a great job with that post.
Perhaps the right word is technically. They may be technically untouchable (I can’t tell because I know nothing about playing instruments.) I prefer to reserve the word “music” for the actual music (rather than the manner in which it was created or performed.) As you said something similar yourself earlier, musicians are supposed to make music (something one can listen to) rather than merely play instruments for the sake of it. So one can speak against them no problem.
King Crimson’s piece is almost entirely about complex rhythms and nothing else, and when music is almost entirely about rhythm, it can barely evoke any kind of feeling. It becomes too noisy to discern any kind of feeling. So I wouldn’t say that King Crimson’s piece feels dark and/or sinister. It’s just a brainfuck. And as I said in a previous post, this can be fun, and it is fun, but it’s never as fun as proper music.
^^^ unbelievable.
I’ll deal with you later, Andy.
“For Fripp it (KC’s music) graphically represented the descent of spirit into form, encapsulating the notion of something very precious and delicate held within matter.”
