I guess you're right. But I'd venture that teenagers today are growing up in a more postmodern "ideal"..

Also, modernism in music is easier to talk about. Modernists such as Schoenberg aimed to completely redefine what constituted music, sometimes in a dogmatic manner. Postmodernists such as Reich willfully left those occasionally doctrinal schools of thoughts behind. Now, musically, we live in a post postmodern world, where there are virtually no rules defining music, where big ambitious statements of importance are regarded with the same amount of interest as humbler-intentioned works.

yeah i know but he never really strayed from from the whole post-modern/modernism thing and what they had to say I found interesting enough. you could call any discussion about philosophy self-indulgent, but it's like just don't participate then.

its not even philosophical really, its just art history and trying to seem intellectual/hip by knowing the difference between modern and postmodern.

the last track has grown on me

also, i'm with enotron... If you don't enjoy reading what conradtao has to say, just don't post. I like to see some interesting discussion happen once in a while. No need to criticize another users intents.

Everytime I go to listen to this album in full I see "Impossible Soul" sitting their ominously and think "22 minutes? FUCK THAT" and listen to something else.
