Oldskool vs Newskool

It seems that some people are stuck in a fantasy that every single tune coming on the C64, must:

1. have beats like Jeroen Tel
2. have melody like drax
3. have sounds like rob hubbard
4. be crazy inspiring like ben daglish
5. and that it has to have the smoothes baby ass 1988 bass filter
6. and so on...

so what is oldskool ?
1986 sounds ?
or 'playing it safe' ?

and what is newskool ?
be a copy of linus ?

It seems there are some persons who dont realize that HVSC has about every style of music on earth in it.

You can find old classical piano tunes, mostly people made them before hubbard religion came :D
then hubbard religion came, and everybody want to follow it, the most prominent child of hubby is jt.
although different style... its still a hubbyism...
then 20cc, what is this ? a jt religion..
rock/finnish gold....

We can mention so many.

There are founders of religion, and followers, those make up more than 80% of the composers.

And then there are the innovators, who take a risk, and do something completely new, and weird, or non standard.

Ed, Goto80, Mermaid... that sort of thing..

So, to the point, and ofcourse it is about my latest sid upload :D what else would it be about ? :D

Well, i can claim to call it newskool, because of the fact, it does not follow any of the religions i just mentioned.

You dear listener, should not expect every single tune, to be a melodic, progressive, manio depressive gut wrenching tune comparable to the depths of drax's mind.

You are in error.

There is more than just drax'ism :D

Specifically i would call my tune 'industrial techno', its the closest i can come to some kinda description. and as such, it is extremely well in its own class.

As a 'standard' C64 style tune, based on the religions mentioned, it is ofcourse completely off.

To the final point:

I appreciate your comments whatever they are, but when you f.ex write: there isnt much progression, or i would wish there was more melody, then dear listener, you have misunderstood it: industrial techno has no progressive melodic element :D

What is oldskool : when you follow the traditions
what is newskool : when you dont

That is all.

Two notes melody, hm, John Williams (JAWS). That is what we call a genius. A talent not to be found in C64 music, though.

I'm not behaving like an arse, just being realistic, and telling the very truth. :)

Telling the truth is the very definition of being an arse, Geir.
