he wouldn't, he'd have to expose himself as i did... paws. research and recommendation isn't to be underrated or diminished in importance, but there should be outlets for people like UR to reach a contemporary audience, especially when you can more easily hear people whose music wouldn't exist without them.

i'm a long-time timbaland defender, but even i have to call him on his bullshit when he talks about being an innovator of certain sounds and ideas. i do love FS/LS and consider it a work of collective pop genius, but i'd never claim it's a wholly original work.


>no its not that young at all. around 30 years old.

that's if you want to start at kraftwerk. people were using synthesizers years before that and composing and performing with tape loops decades before that.
