The album that that anon posted: Hex or printing the infernal method was inspired by blood meridian. Every song is named after a sentence in the book, and Earth's new music inspired in Ennio Morricone's compositions for western were reimagined with the atmosphere of Blood Meridian. By the way, a friend of mine met Bret Nelson after a concert and apparently he is really into Stanislaw Lem.

(Translated Excerpt)
Come to me, my Angel,
come soaring down… and have a seat… and faint…
I'll see which gender You have.
Will I penetrate a cavity
Or drink a tallow from a fully ripe fruit…
If blood on your lips blazes up
like a sacrificial fire…
…you'll turn white—an Angel…
…I'll down a chalice of her—and become a…
—and you'll faint and return to your fairy tale
a feathered beast
to cherish your wings…

I'll turn into a color of white flesh—
—a grave-man—
—a bone in the beak—
leaving the joy of birds.

He's 100% correct.

>>9427669
He is not 100% correct. He is only 50% correct. He's right that music isn't as deep as literature, but he's wrong in assuming depth = quality.

>>9409835

What? That doesn't even make sense.

He's not. Jesus Christ, what happened to this place? It is being invaded with high schoolers.

>>9409116
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wkt8T38aaMw

>>9428850
Are you actually arguing that music is a "shitty" art form? I'm pretty sure Tolstoy, Lermontov, Hegel, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Heidegger, etc. wouldn't agree with you.

>>9428862
I'm arguing that depth = quality. And please, no name dropping.

>>9428879
Except you haven't actually "argued" anything. All you stated was, the guy who called music "shitty" is "100% right," and then called the anon who said depth isn't quality a "high schooler." You have only negated and affirmed others' assertions, you haven't contributed any position of your own.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZUQ7yZTFco&t=1852s

>>9428893
Neither did you with your name dropping.

>>9428933
What do you mean by "depth" and "quality" in this context? Does a "deep" work of art need to have clarity? Where do you draw the line between depth and obfuscation?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlqyCfsYjOs

>>9428984
Ok, being serious here and no shitposting: there's no difference between the two, essentially. Only after a certain dose of mystery or obfuscation can people assume there is depth. Better yet, if there is a impression of concealment or displacement, people will immediately assume there's a hidden truth, even where there is none.

>>9429036
Depth is a really a moot point, only what reveals itself really is.

>>9429040
Now that I think about it, what makes music perhaps not as great at being art as the written word is precisely because it is deep, even the most complex classical piece has something that is always, in order to properly function as art, attached to what the listener and composer feel, and feelings are ephemeral and individual (i.e. self-destroying), with no foothold on truth.

>>9421652
Not him, but Ween's only good album is God Ween Satan so a book that's similar to their entire discography is gonna be a problem

>>9426918

oh shit

>>9410784
I disagree with this, I'd prefer some kinda Raga influenced rock, or just Indian Raga in general.

Sandy Bull

Ravi Shankar
etc

>>9429036
>I'm arguing that depth = quality.
>there's no difference between the two, essentially.
Repetitive brainlet excreting tautologies. What about style and, again, clarity? For you, does all style really come down to mystery, obfuscation, concealment, and displacement? I mean, someone like e.g. Zizek obscures the fuck out of his meaning with jargon, so I wouldn't call him a good writer stylistically speaking. He also overuses certain rhetorical styles in English (e.g. "Is X not the Y par excellence"). Tolstoy is an example of someone who writes deeply, obviously, interestingly, and at length.

>>9427128
Dang I was gonna say insulting to Beefheart, at least Trout Mask Replica is fun in its incoherence

>>9417283
You got any recommendations on albums similar to this? I loved it.

>>9429085
>style really come down to mystery, obfuscation, concealment, and displacement?
No, 'depth' is. Truth reveals itself, always.

I think we talking about two different kinds of 'deep' here, I'm referring to that type of 'hidden truth' that is perceived in some works of art but it's never explicit.

>>9429110
So depth is lack of clarity? Wew lad, I thought I was talking to someone who had a modicum of aesthetic understanding. Christ, I was even giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you meant that a "certain dose" of style would act in the fashion of a distorting lens and diminish the appearance of the main point, but no, you literally meant "depth is obfuscation."

>>9429129
I'm not talking about aesthetics but metaphysics. The 'point' has no depth is only the surface and what appears in the surface. There is no 'inner' truth you get to that is apart from this phenomenal surface. Plato was wrong.

>>9429141
and is only*

>>9429100
If you liked that, check out Ocean Songs. It's generally considered to be Dirty Three's best album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqdKXcR_Uns
This is a collaboration between two Japanese postrock bands that I think could be considered similar. If you're into this this album is more similar to Mono than World's End Girlfriend.

>>9429141
>>9429145
So, we were talking about whether depth is the same thing as quality, you claimed that all depth is "concealing," now you're basically saying that all depth is artificial as well as muddling. If "truth" is always on the surface, wouldn't you want it to be apparent immediately, rather than being filtered through the supposed muddiness of "depth"? And if this is the case, quality is, in fact, the *lack* of depth. That is, if "truth" is something to be striven for. This is all according to your train of logic.

>>9429176
>If "truth" is always on the surface, wouldn't you want it to be apparent immediately, rather than being filtered through the supposed muddiness of "depth"?

Yes, but not in an empirical sense (because it doesn't take subjective action in consideration in every rational enterprise and therefore is forever running after its own tail), but rather in a dialectical way where every property or category a thing has is developed using the written word, preferably.

>>9429141
am I correct in assuming that you mean to say that the "point" of music is shallow - that the point is nothing but the surface of the music; --that it lacks depth, so it makes for poor art?
if so, I'm inclined to agree

>>9429199
Not exactly, but you do have point.

>>9429195
So you admit you've contradicted yourself. I accept your concession. I am glad we agree that music is only "shitty" because you prefer "the written word" (because it apparently lends itself more to "dialectics," which is flatly untrue, you autist). FYI, Bach's counterpoint is nothing but a musical expression of dialectics

>>9429220
All music dialectical (every note has its meaning and existence only after it's coupled with others, negated) but the representation of what dialectics is can only be said or written.

>>9429227
Why, because "dialectics" is a word? Look again at Bach: isn't his counterpoint a more succinct representation of the dialectic than Hegel's prolix word salad?

>>9429238
No because it's not explicit and it nobody learns anything by it.

>>9429241
>he thinks Bach's style isn't explicit
>he doesn't learn anything by listening to Bach
