Hmm. To me they sound very much like they're not near the cliff and hanging out with Coldplay.

I've always had the suspicion that part of what contributes to the appeal of sounds processed through flangers and other effects based on very short time delays and feedback is that they subliminally suggest the sound quality of a typical small bathroom, with its hard reflective surfaces and short-distance reverberation, and how that quality of sound triggers the emotional "overtones" associated with such a primally intimate environment.

With some exceptions of course.
It's like the human mind, perhaps in a majority, prefers an artificial sound to a natural sound. People go to great lengths to cut out unwanted frequencies, compress virtually every instrument, often heavily, and like to use electronic/digital instruments. Why is modern sound so appealing to the human ear/mind ?

the internet now occupies a part of our brain once used for social interaction
I think what msore is saying is that a well designed natural sounding instrument may be more "accoustaly appealing than some saw wave.
or the OP cant tell the difference between midi and mozart

All instrumental music is "unnatural". Or at least artefactual. Folks have always loved new & strange sounds. See Archaeoacoustics. Also Joe Meek.

its a strange dichotomy
people love the things they grew up with,but pop music is driven by novelty
Im on the fence because I cant just do the same thing thats been done before,...but if it doesnt sound "modern" people wont think itss 'relevant'
(Im talking about even accoustic music here)
two sides of a diffent coin?

I saw Kraftwerk live in '82. I always think of it as the best concert I ever saw. Certainly from an audio visual perspective it was like nothing else. The sound production was amazing. I guess if you wanted to get pissed and jump around, it wouldn't have been your thing.
