What went wrong, is it just the record companies? IUs it that people have been dumb down so they are unable to perform at this level. When musicians like this walked the earth, we did not realize how gifted they were compared to the sludge that we have to endure today.

@tygertygerburn there was shitty music in the 70s. think about it. disco was the garbage that every radical music lover hated and all the idiots bought into. just because you only know the good stuff from the 70s doesn't mean there was only good stuff in the 70s. People just have a tendancy to look back at what was good about the past and focus on what's shitty about the present. There is some DAMN good stuff nowadays you just need to know where to look.

Where are the double bass drones in this!? It is seriously lacking some bass. Otherwise. Apsolutely fine.

Who doesn't like the guitar work starting at 4:38, raise your hands, I dare you.

@tygertygerburn,

I also read that the label that sponsors the group decides what they are allowed to record. Not what they're allowed to release, what they're allowed to record. Something like that.

It was in this box set book. Robert Lamm was quoted along this line to some degree.

It's not what the artist wants to write, it's what the label is willing to release. Something like that.

@tygertygerburn,

I read in one of the box sets books that was a celebration of the music of 70's horn group Chicago that when they got Phil Ramone as their manager in the late 70's he made them throw away all of their music because he is a hits oriented producer. Also artists are now only paid the royalties on no more than 10 songs per album, not every song that appears on it.

@tygertygerburn check out St preux andante pour trompette and concerto pour deux vois.

he was 17 or 18 years old when he wrote it tell me what you think

@tygertygerburn

It's called nostalgia filter

the good stuff stays to be recognized by future generations, the bad stuff is forgotten - making the past look better than it really was

God, when I was a boy I worshipped Mike Oldfield. This was such an incredible ... sound. Still is. Not sure if we can arrive at any illuminating comparisons. Today the sheer numbers of gifted musicians must be greater, as the economic basis is different: more young people with more access to instruments, musical learning, recorded sound. Plus a vastly changed technological landscape with endless recording possibilities. Yet Tubular Bells would be as outstanding and special today as it was then.

@tygertygerburn Or have we become blind to recognize real talent that walks around in this days?
