Interesting tune
Posted 4 weeks ago by jp33442    [ Reply ]
As soon as this tune came on I headed immediately to the comments section.  I figured a few heads would be exploding.  Kinda reminds me of the "death before disco" days.  Looks like comments are pretty equally split, so Bill must be doing something right, keeping' it eclectic!

Not my first choice in music.  But when you gaze across a sea of people, and they are all throbbing to the beat, I totally get it.  I don't think you get that same level of audience cohesion at a typical rock show.

Crank it up and enjoy the drop!

Computer-based, or algorithm-based music has been "composed" and recorded since the 1970s.   Perhaps human influence is over-rated.

When I was in high school, we had what was then a cutting edge synth that we messed around with. There was no instruction manual, they just let us have at it. We used to make noise exactly like this, and we thought it was so cool. Maybe I can see the appeal if you're in a club and just need a beat to dance to without wanting to think thru the drug haze, but I don't understand listening to it on the radio. To each her own, different strokes, takes all kinds etc. Rock on.

It's ok, its a bit long.  Seven minutes of the same electronic stuff; while quite mindless and easy to work to, it just feels like someone messing around with their synthesizer, nothing really new here.

I also don't listen to RP for the RnR tracks, they bore me and sometimes there are long stretches of them. I happily PSD if I can. But I guess everybody will find something here they don't like or even dislike intensily. Isn't it weird though that we keep listening despite this? :-)

I know it’s not universally popular with listeners but I for one am enjoying the odd Deadmau5 and Bob Moses track that’s finding its way into the playlist!
Posted 1 year ago by ScottishWillie    [ Reply ]
To answer the question: Do any RP listeners like DeadMau5

On occasion, in measured doses. It changes the mood a bit. After all, isn't RP classed as eclectic. 
And besides that, it's like traffic lights. No one likes them but they only last a few minutes then you're on your way.

I frequently log on to RP to vent my disdain about hearing Deadmau5 - and some other EDM artists. (I'm also quick to compliment great finds, gems and relics from the past or new discoveries... i'm not just a complainer.)

Question is this.... do any RP listeners actualy like Deadmau5? I see its rated as a 6 in aggregate.  

Thanks Bill for being so eclectic.... Maybe you're goal is to actually help us appreciate GOOD music that much more.

I guess.

Good morning from Central Canada Bill, yes Canada, Deadmou5 ville.  The operative word  in my greeting is MORNING. I know you're somewhere out on the left coast and your audience spans the globe, but .... what a HORRIBLE thing to wake up to on a nice snowy Sunday morning in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec. 

Not sure if I should be getting a coffee or bottle service......

Maybe its a Canadian thing, but yes, couldn't agree more...RP is RP because its inclusive...I love the odd immediate left turn, EDM then banjos...its the surprise that's fun...the whole idea of "eclectic"....

Sorry Bill, this is just wrong.

Deadmau5 and all the other uber DJ's have one venue. Dance Clubs. 1000's of people, bottle service, high rollers and posers. 

The music makes some sense there..... and most other EDM makes sense there (like it or not)

Makes no sense in my living room.
