You may not need an essay about how I feel about the music. But as far as I'm concerned it's relevant to the music because music is emotional and subjective (and of course, emotions are subjective). What I said was relevant. And your 'critical analysis' on the other hand that you gave me, I consider to be completely pointless. Being a musican and knowing the techniques of how to write and read music is completely different to how it simply sounds to your ear (whether you can write or read music or not), and to how that sound simply makes you feel.
What I said was obvious of course, I like it... just because I like it because music is subjective and that's what I happen to like the sound of! But what you said I consider completely irrelevant altogether. That may be 'reasons' as far as your concerned of why you don't like it, but why should I care? How would I even be swayed by you? How can you call it 'critical' when it only applies to yourself and not me? Are you talking to yourself here? Or if you are responding to me then I don't see the point you see.
Neither of the Orbital brothers even call themselves musicians so it makes even less sense to analyse their music that way. It's entirely about how it sounds to the listener.
I went on my subjective emotional rant because I was just really perplexed by your need to make a 'critical analysis' which is just white noise to me. What's that got to do with how it sounds to you and how it makes you feel?
Of course it's not off limits. Please do continue if you so wish.
I understand that you understand that music is subjective, but then if that's the case why do you need to give your 'reasons' to other people when that cannot effect them if things sound different and feel different to them? It makes absolutely no sense to me but do as you will.
