ummmm, some thoughts on cohesiveness...
i "got in" on the demo for TWHF and i love GDBD. i fail to see a link
between the 2 things.
i have loved all otr 's stuff some of it more than others. but i would
think these lists that we are making are a mix of what we personally LIKE
and what we consider to be excellent. (the 2 are very different and often
difficult to separate. i wonder if i have ever truly made an accurate
distinction.)
ie Karin and Lindford would never pretend to be the best musicians on the
planet but their projects have many other aspects that would list their
pieces under some sort of title of "excellence".
why would we dismiss an entry on someones "best" list on a single criteria?
why would we dismiss anything on a single criteria? creative things are
usually elusive as hell.
GDBD has alot of the texture (and i don't mean layers) of TWHF.
GDBD survives on it's own merits. their are alot of cohesive art/creations
out there that are shit and alot of incohesive things that are otherwise
beautifully crafted. if excellence always included a standardized
cohesiveness it would be hollywood on a good day.
for some, cohesiveness is a deciding factor; for others based on specific
contexts/ variables and/or definitions, it is not. i suppose it shows a
certain kind of discipline to hold onto something as important as "the
cohesiveness of a work", but i'd first need to know how the word was
defined within the specifics of a context and whether or not the
disagreement was actually about something else or.....blah blah
blah......(are we talking chord structures/ progessions, instrumentation,
tempo, vocal treatments, production, engineering, genres or the
ephemeral things we can't get our minds around? i think GDBD is much
more cohesive, in some areas, than say, EVE but it has very different
aspects of cohesion.
ummmm whatever, the horse is probably dead.
