Uplifting Dance Music
-
Simon Walton was telling me how he, ahem, "take the p*ss out of my friend for liking dance music" and it got me to thinking. Most IT techy types I know outside of CP really enjoy dance music. We often go clubbing and send around MP3s of the latest techno, trance, dance, electronica tunes. I really enjoy sitting there coding or writing as a fast track does it's thing on my headphones. But CP is a bit different. A lot of you guys (and gals?) do not like dance music ("Metallica only man!" comes to mind.) Why is that? What don't you like about it? How can you possibly NOT like it!? For me it is pretty simple. Dance music is the most uplifting and mood altering genre around. It makes me feel goooooood, upbeat, happy, uplifted. Even some of the dark German hard-techo gives me a good kick. It elates me. I know it is repetitive. I know lyrics are not it's forte. I know it is electronic and "not natural." But if those are your issues with dance music then you are listening to it wrong. You are over analysing the music too much. Looking for meaning which is not there, which is not meant to be there. Trying to make sense of something which has no sense. It is a heart and soul thing, an "I feel it" not an "I know it" thing. Faithless say "God is a DJ" and it is so true when you are out there on the dance floor, in your own world, not caring, just moving, just breathing in the music, the bass, the treble, no thought, no worries, no troubles. Just a beat, just an uplifting, elating sense of rightness and content. Well, that is my 2 cents on the subject, and I am off home with Faithless doing damage to my rear windscreen :-D regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Sonork ID: 100.9903 Stormfront

Whilst our tastes conincide when it comes to film, they don't when it comes to music :). I'm not quite sure why I don't like it, I just don't - I'll have to have a think about it properly. -- Andrew.

I've been into lots of electronic music for some times now, and some of it is "dance" music, or more probably "danceable" music, as I really don't like "Dance" music as in cheap commercial music with bimbos that sings! I'm now into this most fun stuff that is "Miss Kittin and the Hacker" and "Felix Da HouseCat", it's more electro style but really fun!!! But usually I'm more into Techno Ambient, astists like Biosphere, Monolake and Vladisla Delay. But sometimes I listen to real hard techno and go to raves; I don't usually go to clubs! Max.

I hear you Paul. I'm very big into dance music as well. All kinds, everything from 70's Disco to today's Trance (Paul Van Dyk rules!). I also like Salsa and Merengue - Latin dance music. I have an awesome MP3 collection of Disco and Pop hits from the 70s and 80s. That's mostly what I listen to at work. I also have a few Heavy Metal tunes - the ones you can dance to :-). Regards, Alvaro

When I mentioned "Dance Music", I wasn't referring to pop songs. I was talking more about DOOT DOOT YEAH DOOT DOOT DOOT YEAH DOOT DOOT UHH DOOT (looped). Accompanied, of course, by some highly poetic lyrics. Oh, and don't forget the computer-generated riff that goes over the top. :D Simon ...recently entered the land of stability with win2000.

I make fun of my friend, I guess, because he cannot see the other side. I get frusutrated because he simply cannot learn to appreciate music as it is meant to be heard. Music that is prouced by talented people, using real instruments, working hard to produce a quality record. And what annoys me is when some asshole puts a drum pattern through a computer and 10 mins later he's got a record. It's just not right. When i'm out, sure, dance music really does add to the night. And if I have consumed enough fermented vegetable drink, then i'll dance along like some sort of demented badger wrapped in a shirt. And i'll enjoy listening to the music. But one thing I would never be able to do is sit down in the house and listen to it. It's just annoying to me. I don't make fun of people who enjoy dance music, that would be stupid. I make fun of, and dislike, the people who call any other type of music "rubbish" and simply cannot see any other way. :) Simon ...recently entered the land of stability with win2000.

Well, not quite techno, but not quite pop, but lots of beats. Usually with some woman screaming in the background. Techo is hardcore dance in my books.

I didnt know there had to be a particular type of music to dance to actually - it depends on the depth of your soul If I'm in the right mood, I can dance to just about anything !!! (so saying, the right mood occurs about once in 100 years :) )

Simon Walton was telling me how he, ahem, "take the p*ss out of my friend for liking dance music" and it got me to thinking. Most IT techy types I know outside of CP really enjoy dance music. We often go clubbing and send around MP3s of the latest techno, trance, dance, electronica tunes. I really enjoy sitting there coding or writing as a fast track does it's thing on my headphones. But CP is a bit different. A lot of you guys (and gals?) do not like dance music ("Metallica only man!" comes to mind.) Why is that? What don't you like about it? How can you possibly NOT like it!? For me it is pretty simple. Dance music is the most uplifting and mood altering genre around. It makes me feel goooooood, upbeat, happy, uplifted. Even some of the dark German hard-techo gives me a good kick. It elates me. I know it is repetitive. I know lyrics are not it's forte. I know it is electronic and "not natural." But if those are your issues with dance music then you are listening to it wrong. You are over analysing the music too much. Looking for meaning which is not there, which is not meant to be there. Trying to make sense of something which has no sense. It is a heart and soul thing, an "I feel it" not an "I know it" thing. Faithless say "God is a DJ" and it is so true when you are out there on the dance floor, in your own world, not caring, just moving, just breathing in the music, the bass, the treble, no thought, no worries, no troubles. Just a beat, just an uplifting, elating sense of rightness and content. Well, that is my 2 cents on the subject, and I am off home with Faithless doing damage to my rear windscreen :-D regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Sonork ID: 100.9903 Stormfront
I'm not into clubbing but am definitely moving towards trance/electronic/cruise music (blame Ed Worsfold). cheers, Chris Maunder
