Having posted that last piece, I dutifully picked up my copy of Loops and commenced reading Matthew Ingram’s ‘Switched-On’ article, about the history of the er, tech-y side of electronic music.
I shall draw your attention to the following paragraph:
“A Google search of the term ‘Flying Lotus synth’ brought up a cornucopia of journalistic slang: ‘liquid synths’, ‘butter synths’, ‘dynamic synths’, ‘floaty synths’, ‘mercurial synths’, ‘hard-edged synths’ ‘maniacal synths’ and ‘dusted synths’. All of which foregrounds the occasional paucity of music journalism.”
Wicked. Not just me, then.
