I mean at this point, Dev might as well be in a tribute band. He might even learn the charm in playing interesting music if he picks a good group.

And ja, my world music influences do tend to be filtered through a westernized lens and I'm always working away from that very easy cliche to participate in and towards something more original. Thing is, I pick decent genres to build off of instead of **** like new age and glam metal.

You've made 24% of the total posts in this thread (44, far and away the most - 16 more than second place)

Since you basically said it all in your first post (#4), the next 43 are just you trying to remind everyone else that your opinion is superior and if you dislike something it obviously must suck, and that anyone who disagrees with you are simply wrong.

LOL

Okay after careful reconsideration I've come to the conclusion that Townsend still makes garbage music and that people who enjoy his work approach music in a way that I find gross and, by extension, inferior. Thank you for inspiring this period of reflection, Chules.

I'll give two of those a chance, but ambient is lost on me, so I'm skipping The Hummer. I just have to realize that me and ambient is not happening.
