I love Prodigy.
The perfect mix of punk and dance music.

earler stuff was a bit techno, but they had style, no denyin' it

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Sat 8 Oct 2011, 21:56, Reply)

The prodigy have never done techno.
They started out rave, then went breakbeat.

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Sat 8 Oct 2011, 21:59, Reply)

None taken.
It winds me up when anything electronic is referred to as 'techno' or 'dance music'. It's like referring to anything made by guitar, bass and drums as heavy metal.

you could call most or it rock, is there a parallel term?

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Sat 8 Oct 2011, 22:11, Reply)

You would call Tortoise and Teenage Fanclub rock?
I wouldn't.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Sat 8 Oct 2011, 22:13, Reply)

not a clue
but as a general term it's cover a lot of sub genres.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Sat 8 Oct 2011, 22:13, Reply)

having googled, yes they both appear loosely to be rock bands.

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Sat 8 Oct 2011, 22:15, Reply)

QOTSA are rock. Teenage Fanclub are a pop band.
And the 'techno/ dance music' thing that pisses me off is that Techno is a very distinct genre, very different to House, Breaks, DnB, hip hop, trance etc. It's like referring to Black Sabbath as a punk band.

And surely dance music means stuff that gets played in clubs to dance to, which would therefore exclude Aphex, BoC, Plaid etc. I have seen these acts referred to as 'dance music'.

we're all a little too fond of those pigeon holes

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 8 Oct 2011, 22:24, Reply)

To some extent we need preconseptins and categories.
it's how the human mind works, helps us tell a chair from a table, danger is in over doing it. this'll be 4/4 but i loves the vidjo:

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Sat 8 Oct 2011, 22:40, Reply)

Nah. Not at all.
A guy that I used to DJ with had very strange views on music.

He had a thepry that house and techno are the same, just that techno is faster.

So I pointed out that if house and techno were indistinguishable, there would be no such thing as tech-house. He made a biscuit-arsed face and never mentioned that 'theory' ever again.

Why do you have to over analyze everything.
Just enjoy what you enjoy and be done with it.

it's more like saying both sabbath and ramones are, lossely rock.
in the same was prodigy and (some other band) are both lossely dance, but Prodigy are not techno although the other one might be. anyway, thas my point, not going to argue it further, learned my lesson.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Sat 8 Oct 2011, 22:28, Reply)

Actually, breakbeat tunes tend to be 4/4. Just that the emphasis is on the snares rather than the kicks.
You can do a quick & easy remix from house to breaks by removing the third kickdrum.

DnB though, a very different matter. See?

still 4/4
just slower

This too then I take it.

Until the middle bit.

the start, yes
can't get to the middle, it keeps crashing firefox.

the time signature is the bit the beat is built around.
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 8 Oct 2011, 22:07, Reply)

Yes.
Indeed. The looped beat does indeed follow a four section pattern.

Try this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhWyKysFJck

Have you tried Chrome instead of Firefox?
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Sat 8 Oct 2011, 22:11, Reply)

still 4/4, could be 2/4 at a push, but I'm no expert
not had a problem until now

I'm trying to locate the lord of the rings bit that's 5/4, it just feels uncomfortable and is a bit of a bitch to play, even though the notes are easy
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 8 Oct 2011, 22:17, Reply)

how about my 2 up there?

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Sat 8 Oct 2011, 22:17, Reply)

both 4/4

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 8 Oct 2011, 22:21, Reply)

i gives up then
everything i like is more or less rock based (or a rock precursor) it'll all be 4/4
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Sat 8 Oct 2011, 22:22, Reply)

there are some
that aren't - radiohead fuck about with time sigs a lot, as do a few other bands, folk tends to quite often.
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 8 Oct 2011, 22:24, Reply)

not big on folk (except folk-rock)
or Radio head, although my mum's a fan.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Sat 8 Oct 2011, 22:36, Reply)

you'd find some in folk rock
and whatever we're calling this current wave of folkish, indish stuff that's all over 6music (and at green man this year)
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 8 Oct 2011, 22:42, Reply)

I was thinking more levelers or Gogol Bordello
or Flogging molly. and yes, I know one could argue those are in three totally separate genres, but thatb all have folky elements.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Sat 8 Oct 2011, 22:48, Reply)

pretty sure one of the gogol bordello
tracks is some other time sig, but who cares about that anymore, turns out I'm just some music geek (even though I'm not a particularly good one)

well
I suppose that was the worst youtube disco idea yet, although I think it would have been worse if I demanded tracks in F# Minor or something (no, I can't spot those...in fact I don't even know which keys are called which most of the time)
