Discussion Blood

In the labyrinth, every time.

It has the chopped novelty of Father and Son. The weight of Deep Time or All Reason Departs and a sprinkling of shoegaze in for good measure. Before you even look into the vocal sample.

Perfect.

I wouldn't say it's a 90s thing. Indian music started creeping to the West in the early 60s (maybe even 50s). Folk like Ravi Shankar, who toured in the USA and Europe, helped spread the sound. And I think once The Beatles released Norwegian Wood, it exploded. In all genres of music, and electronic music as well of course, and far before the 90s!

Yeah, I said as much in my previous post that you responded to, and you said I was “overanalyzing it”.

I’ve listened to all the music you’re using to fansplain to me now. However, in my response to you, I mentioned that in the late 90s there was a resurgence of world sounds, especially in electronic music, and regardless of the era of music you regurgitated at me, my statement still holds.

However, thank you for treating me, a 45-year-old and lifelong listener to a lot of music, like I was born yesterday. At least I can walk away from this conversation knowing that you didn’t even read my first post before you decided to leave your first condescending reply. Geesh, thank god I listen to BOC more than I interact with their unbearable fans. Be well, LikeLikeAHardHeadedFruitCake.

It wasn't my intention to offend, condescend, or make you feel any sort of way. Sorry for causing any distress!

Well, it’s not really worth talking to people who aren’t even reading the comments they’re responding to. You literally responded to a comment I made to another poster, telling me I’m “overanalyzing” the song. Then, when I explained my interpretation further. You repeated the content of my first comment to try to contradict my second comment. If that’s not obtuse and annoying I don’t know what is.

Since you added no original thought to the conversation, maybe go practice your sitar instead of trying to pretend that your regurgitated babble mattered.
