Why old prog - for me - is better than new prog

so nostalgia is more important than the actual music? That doesn't make sense.What about the qualities of the music that made you like it in the first place?

I do, however, understand what you're saying. I used to listen to crappy music and it does NOT give me good memories. 

Slarti, I'm actually, hello... ? WRITING NEW STUFF.

You appear to be too personally lazy to check who I actually am. And you've misread the post. Join the queue. ;-) Let's all go around in little tangents, eh ? 

I enjoy a lot of old prog better than new prog. I write new prog. My new prog has some new influences but references old prog. I use a DAW, which is like a big tape recorder because there is no real other way of doing it. A DAW or tape recorder is somehow seen as being inferior to actually playing live, as it somehow sucks creativity out of modern musicians (process to be doubtless revealed)(by people who have no idea what they're on about) - as a modern musician, I obviously have never heard any modern prog and must be too lazy to listen to it. Instead, I sit around all day just being nostalgic for the days when musicians released really well played and recorded albums, which were mainly slapped together and sound rotten, but that's somehow better than properly engineered ones. Not that anyone who isn't actually a sound engineer can spot it, but that's not important as that wouldn't make them "audiophiles". In the interim, Band A is better than Band B but not as good as Band C, etc etc etc etc ad nauseum.

If you're as confused as I am by the above, join the club. Or you may go back to the OP and read it exactly how I wrote it, without reading anything else into it or going off on a vaguely self-interesting tangent. 

But the internet would be a lot less fun. :-)

Yours confusedly

  

Yeah yeah yeah. :-)
