@blueshoe10 i bet when the musicians are in the pub..they are laughing at the person who conjured this monstrosity. Even though i'm capable of understanding diatonic music...does not mean that 'All' diatonic' music is great for that reason.., Like this for example....it has to be at the bottom of the pile of fresh pompus dung out there...diatonic or not. Stop pretending this is some mystical frequency we '(who are not worthy') are not tuned to yet,,hehe

[Danneththemanneth]

long drone indeed, i'd rather listen to slade on repeat for two hours

@bally28 In case you hadn't noticed, we're in the 21st century. There's a world of possibilities and experience out there. If you only want to listen to the same diatonic music people have been making for hundreds of years, go ahead; but just because you don't like something doesn't mean that everyone who does enjoy it is just pretending to look clever.

@Bumcheeksish load of pompous pap only the 'composer' has the intelligence to fathom...apparently.

[Bumcheeksish]

Yawn. Sounds like typical pretentious knobcheese to me, a bunch of mediocre musicians trying to be 'intelligent' but in fact offering very little to the development of music. Whatever happened to melody and tonality?
