Eskimo. Was expecting worse, but his production is pretty good.
After listening to a few songs, realised what rehashed shit it really is.
Nearly got tricked there.

I think it is becoming harder, if not impossible, to "invent"  new music.

When I heard Beethoven in Steppenwolf as a child, I was sorely disappointed in my "favorite band" and my dad's country music was full of Rachmaninov, Wagner, even Gombert, Vivaldi and other "intense" themes. I hear Mozart, Handel and Verdi in Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, Korn and Pantera, Paganini, Schultz, Danzi and Handel in Blue Oyster Cult, Godsmack, St. Vitus, Motorhead, Disturbed ....... and The Beatles, The Who, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Eric Clapton are everywhere and have mostly used just about everything between them.

I don't think of it as plagiarism, though.

There is nothing new. There are no new ideas. There are no new themes. There are no new sounds. There are only new ways of making and combining those same old sounds, themes and ideas.


I hate it when people say that music is dead!

Pink Floyd is my fav band.

There aren't many types of music I don't like.

Good music!
We would have to include the baroque era and some operatic composers to cover them, as well.

I still think my all time favorite has to be Jimi Hendrix. If you look at the incredibly diverse output from that man, as an entire life's work, it boggles the mind. Now accept that the entire collected works of Hendrix, representing thousands of hours of recorded music, spans a period of only six years. I still cry, sometimes.

I agree, there are only so many frequency intervals that the human ear can hear in the first place.   That gives us only so many available patterns that can be played (melodies).   There are limits.   Especially when people started going towards music that has on chromatic, atonal, multimeter, and even polyrhythmic elements.  Most of what is popular is just plain ol' pentatonic, and even a good deal of it is just 3/4 or 4/4.   When a 5 note scaled is played to death, then there are no new ideas.   People ignore eastern music, but that influences a good deal of what has been put out.   We don't have a ton of people playing the eastern 16 note octave with its 4 microtones that are in addition to the 12 frequency intervals in the western music octave.    Rock and the Blues in general are so popular, that is where most of the focus is... the same 5 or 6 note scale (6 notes if you are playing the real blues).
