Go, Monkey, Go
Sep. 12th, 2003 11:24 amFollowing yesterday's SHOCK REVELATION, I am looking for more music.
I'm interested in broadening my musical horizons a little, because I have something of a contradiction in my head. I have always rubbished Techno and Dance music (the former moreso than the latter) as uninspired and repetetetetetive. Listening to the same thumping bass line sixteen times in a row may be entertaining when you are out of your face on drugs (something of which I have no experience), but that is not a selling point for me. Quite the opposite.
However, I have come to the worrying conclusion that some of the music I like may in fact be techno of a sort. I'm talking about the music of Mr James Venable, in his work the Powerpuff Girls TV series (and movie). There's a specific style, a light, rapid, varied drumbeat accompanied by a variety of orchestral and electronic melodies that I really enjoy. Good examples of it on Venables' Listen page are Monkey On The Loose and Mojo & Girls Build. If somebody could tell me if there's a name for that particular genre, or link me to a band that plays it, I'd be much obliged.
