It is typically characterized by lengthy audio programs with relatively slight harmonic variations throughout each piece compared to other musics. La Monte Young, one of its 1960s originators, defined it in 2000 as "the sustained tone branch of minimalism".[4] Drone music[5][6] is also known as drone-based music,[7] drone ambient[8] or ambient drone,[9] dronescape[10] or the modern alias dronology,[11] and often simply as drone.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. “Erase Me”: Gary Numan’s 1978-80 Recordings John Bruni ary Numan, almost any way you look at him, makes for an unlikely rock star. He simply never fits the archetype: his best album, both Gin terms of artistic and commercial success, The Pleasure Principle (1979), has no guitars on it; his career was brief; and he retired at his peak. Therefore, he has received little critical attention; the only book-length analysis of his work is a slim volume from Paul Sutton (2018), who strains to fit him somehow into the rock canon. With few signposts at hand—and his own open refusal to be a star—writing about Numan is admittedly a challenge. In fact, Numan is a good test case for questioning the traditional belief in the authenticity of individual artistic genius.

Výsledkom je, ako sa dalo od týchto geniálnych Kana ďanov o čakáva ť, originálny a vyzretý album. Formát: CD (limitovaná edícia) CENA: 650 Sk Kat. č.: 1723674 EAN: 602517236745 Godspeed You! Black Emperor – Yanqui U.X.O. (Constellation) Montrealskí GY!BE si získali celosvetové uznanie svojou epickou, inštrumentálnou hudbou a taktiež militantne anarchistickými postojmi. Hudbu charakterizuje dramaticky gradovaný štýl, kde gitary znejú ako sláky a sláky ako bombardujúce rakety. Na svojom zrejme poslednom albume sa dnes už neexistujúca kapela zamerala na priamo čiary, intenzívny sound. Zatvorte oči a predstavte si pulzujúci život na Zemi tesne pred nukleárnou apokalypsou.
