Well I see where you're going but the machine as yet (at least the music making machine) has no agency. Without help from a human dj - so I would see it as humans using machines to make music and dance to.

Sorry, I miss things if I don't get the quote notification.

I wasn't into Krafwerk either. Like many at the time I had their Autobahn album and tried to like it, but the music didn't reach me. It's not that the music is "too inhuman" for me either because I've enjoyed a lot of cold, clinical, emotionally bleak music, eg. King Crimson's Discipline https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QracpYC4xbY

There was a time when people actually felt like this. Look around the world at the way it is now and listen to the words. You will either weep, or laugh hysterically.

That's what Bob Dylan would sound like if he could sing purdy.

Re: avant-garde.
- The fifties were beatniks. The sixties were hippies.
- The fifties were cool. The sixties were hot.
- The fifties were cerebral. The sixties were emotion.
- The fifties snapped fingers to applaud.
- The sixties wallowed in Woodstock mud.
- The seventies got slick.
- Funky Stevie got rich defining America beyond love ballads and protest, without the divisiveness of community-activism, a movement that took a left turn about the same time as rap.

I remember being enchanted by this moody blues album cover when my sister bought the LP. I also remember being taught 'fruit' rather than 'favour' :)

1973 – I remember The Moody Blues. To me, they always sounded like they were questing the castle in the distance glimpsed through the mists of the shire. Magical.

1973 – Stevie Wonder
There’s joy and comfort when he unleashes throughout his song.

Like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Stevie's intent embraced positive social activism, not the negativity of PC.

You can write when you lose the silly affectation :) Love the description of PC. Stevie Wonder has never been precious. Careful though. You will get called 'ignorant' for saying something that happens to be true.
