ha ah thanks Jack, happy to do my part! I like the unpredictability (among other qualities) of older recordings. the 80s thrash metal records are a good example - the snare intensifies in the slower parts, becomes thinner as the BPM is faster. The music moves organically as a result. That so much of that stuff was recorded by people who didn't get it, there was no blueprint for. The intersection of the history and the results are always interesting. I think that's what was so attractive about the underground scenes before the internet became readily accessible. Bands created innovative releases despite their social, economical and political conditions, resulting in exotic and exciting music. 80s metal from Poland, Czech Rep, Greece, Colombia, Brazil etc - it's wild and untamed and where it's reflective of their life and experience. Amazing.
