KC's randomness is one of the things I like best about them. But repetition (the meaning it has here) can be very effective aswell, I really have nothing against it.

The Tangerine Dream that I've listened to isn't repetitive at all.

I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress...So, guess what I voted for?Seriously, though, a little bit of repetition can do wonders too - as in the "bolero" structure used, for instance, by ELP or (especially) Metallica in "The Call of Ktulu".


I understand what you mean. I just couldn't resist. I was going to go with Crimson, but it was too obvious. Repetiton can be a useful tool, but all to often it is just plain boring. I love what Pink Floyd does with it, but I find most ambient drones on. There are also cases where it appears that it is more of a lack of fresh ideas.

I don't mind minimalism or repetitions and such as long as its good. Randomness is kind of in the same book as repetition, if its good theres no problem. I can't get enough of both really. So I won't vote Approve

I prefere randomness over repetition, but only just. Tangerine Dream can be quite hypnotizing Wacko, but Krimson keeps me on my toes. Pinch
