[u0858294]

Don't you just hate it when you look for the comment that's got everyone so pissed off, and then its been removed because of too many negative votes! what did 67Designer say???????

[u0858294]

@u0858294 oh wait...just seen you can 'show comment' doh!....oh and 67Designer ..your a prick

[DeeDeeKhan]

awesome

[samuelharker]

Reading youtube comments is a depressing sport.

[loulou586]

i love it <3



[maximhellyn]

first time i notice they spelled it like "see" and not "sea" :)

[IschariotPasadelski]

Love it or hate it, I don't care because "music is the best".

[bbyrd009b]

I hear God whispering in this music...

[TheSmack77]

this is the MOST insipid "jazz" ive heard in a long while..thats insipid not inspired by the way. like Coltrane never happened..

[blackgenet]

@TheSmack77 that is the most insipid comment i've read in a long while. go jack off to a picture of davis

[TheSmack77]

@blackgenet

hee hee . maybe i will. at least miles succesfullt explored_+ trailblazed many styles in jazz . im mean this track upload woud i doubt have ever made the final cut on a miles lp ..

[Vokabelheft123]

Less flaming more listening to this kind of music, while driving you car across the countryside please.

[gologabob]

Some people these days think music is a sport where someone is better because of what he can do with strings. I am more interested in what emotions can be expressed with sounds. Instruments were made to simplify music making. Why is using something easier like an npc or a maschine not making music?

[tariktrk]

for fun Portico Quartet this nigth at chellah rabat

[KingCrimson776]

Reminds me of the EST, modern ambient jazz stuff.

[theryman007]

For all of you that like this and applaud this band, good for you, you have an excellent taste in music.... For thoes of you who think this is stupid and comparing it to fricking justin bieber, go find some culture, for Christ's sake......

[iicaie]

its okay, justin bieber still has far more views/fans/money/fame that steve reich and all the other 'serious jazzers' so...

[Juliationable]

Oh mine, this is brilliant.

[skinheads99]

I love it when they bring it back down...if you know what I mean. LOVE THIS!!!

[singercity40]

n i c e s t u f f * * * * *

[callummcsherry1]

Wow... 67Designer that is really quite a pretentious thing to say, how dare you presume to lecture the 32,911 people who have seen this and formed their own opinion on it based on your opinion. Taste is personal. Steve Reich, Terry Riley and the rest of those American pioneers were groundbreaking in what they did but as with a great deal of groundbreaking musical work they pushed to extremes in order to open new directions in music. There is plenty of exploration to be done with minimalism.

[theDragonaut]

@67Designer you're right, and anybody disagreeing with him hasn't heard any of the music he listed. that was still a douchebag comment however.

[pakosouthpark]

can i have them play this live every morning in my living room when i wake up??

and then walk with me to the beach while playing!

[pit1435]

I like this picture :-)

[jb48999]

im going to be average and go with the majority here... @67Designer u truly are shit. Ole ! :)

[urig23]

;-)

[StanleyDonwood]

I've not heard saxophone like that in a while... I like it. A lot

[67Designer]

To all those of you who think this is good: Make yourselves familiar with the works of Steve Reich, Terry Riley, Louis Andriessen and Michael Gordon and David Lang - plus some of the serious jazzers. Then compare it with what Portico does here: Essentially, all they do is taking the idea of minimal/serial music and overlay it with a saxophone. This is music, designed to please the average listener - a smallest common denominator from jazz, minimal and pop. 3 stars out of 5 at best.

[percdann]

@67Designer That is one f the most stuck up things ive ever read as a comment on youtube. Believe it or not music IS written for 'average' people. Not stuck up elitists like yourself. Steve Reich and the others youv mentioned all have great merits as do 'serious jazzers' but because of the attitude and elitism of people like yourself it is completely inaccessible. Its because of comments like that (pure snooty crap) that people nowadays dont listen to that music.

Enjoy the music

[rioted]

@percdann

I believe that good music is not usually written FOR people, many people play / write music because they like it and it's their expression. not to be rich. If everybody wanted their music to be liked by the masses, the it wouldn't evolve that much. nowawdays' "music for average people" (as you say), is not as inovative as it seems to average people, it is more likely to be a translation of what was avantgarde before circa 20 years, but for average listeners.

[estreet2007]

@percdann The problem is that if you give anybody to listen this kind of music they wont like, they're already brainwashed by commersialism, I love to share with people what I listen to, but when I do I regret it this is why I believe in elistism now. we should be proud that the reputation of this kind of music is not tarnished because of those people

[SuperUkuleleGirl]

@67Designer become a music critic,then you can get paid to voice your opinions and we don't have to hear them.

[delaceya03]

@67Designer you, my good sir, are an absolute pillock.

[lewisevansyo]

@67Designer your shit

[JiubLink]

@67Designer Doesn't matter how you rationalize it. People enjoy it or they don't.

and if they do: Mission complete

[noapologiesnoregrets]

@67Designer Weeeell. It does sound like three out of five stars in your rating system is an astronomically high rating on the average listener's scale. So that's settled then.

[lcpcarter]

@67Designer You are a massive douche

[BlockJuice]

@67Designer: Simplicity doesn't make music a bad thing.

[gwaysh]

this is so so good!!

a good song to listen to on the train as well, sounds... train-ey

[jazzpolice1]

You can hear what they're 'trying' to do, but what's the point when there are so many other groups out there doing it SO much better.

The sax player is playing so out of tune it makes me feel physically sick!

Is nobody else hearing that???!!!!

[omGBotz]

@jazzpolice1 to be honest, your opinion clearly doesnt matter, i would love to see you come up with something with this originality?...

[simontempleman]

@jazzpolice1

shit, you best stay away from any free jazz then, your peanut brain will explode.

[carsonyeah]

@jazzpolice1 yes, I hear what you mean.....is this a demo though, or is it the final album track?

[TomHillebrandt]

@jazzpolice1 What is tune?! What is a scale?! What is music?! Ponder these...

There are so many interpretations but at the end of the day it's music, to be enjoyed or not. Our cultural and social backgrounds and surroundings all effect our individual interpretations of key and musicality.

I agree it's not in tune according to the classic western scales that we are so used to and bombarded with on a daily basis but does that void it as musical expression? Certainly in my eyes it doesn't.

[Wispyify]

@jazzpolice1 Bloody hell. Did the milkman fuck your mum so hard that his dick knocked the sense out of you when you were in the womb? What the fuck are you saying?!

[IBANEZCHAP123]

saw them earlier tonight!

[definitivunkreativ]

yeah, that's really magic. amazing!

[dartanjanify]

beautiful.

[Pamicox]

this is magic

[comakid4000]

This is just quite boring really.

[percdann]

Youv missed the point! Shame for ya!

[comakid4000]

@percdann don't really think there's a point. more an ineffectual noise lasting for 4 minutes and 53 seconds. My personal opinion though.

[percdann]

@comakid4000 I respect your opinion! Your wrong though ;)

[spandexman77]

So annoyed I missed these guys in Southampton now.

[weronaonika]

they`re just awesome

[loverspit1547]

Should be more appreciated, wow

[gfoxboy]

Absolutely incredible musicianship throughout, but especially at 2:50

[SampleFacts]

I'm not religious but 1:18 onward is what heaven would sound like...

[Dottin]

I couldn't agree anymore, I've been looking for that explanation and you hit the nail on the head! Definately going watching them live in Liverpool.

[cheesyclark]

Gee I (L) you guys :D ha I saw you on breckfast this morning too!
