VEGANGELICA

Hey Dieselboy,
I've been enjoying your journal. I like the musical taste pie chart Tore made for you. Isn't he a hoot? And so helpful. Electronica isn't a genre I know much about, so your perspective and knowledge are helpful to me. Your journal style is friendly and personable. It's fun to hear how excited you are by the music!

So far I've especially liked "All That Makes Us Human Continues." The video, combined with the music, makes me think of being under a wooden dock as light reflects off a lake onto the wood...or perhaps being in a house or ship under construction with shafts of sunlight flitting through trusses or scaffolding in timelapse photography. I especially liked a sound he incorporated repeatedly in the music...it sounds like a ship's deck or a wooden floorboard creaking when under tension while someone walks on it. The lullaby bell-like melody combined with the powerful lower notes makes me imagine the song is describing the delicacy of his child's life that is so fleeting while also being connected to the lives of those around her (parents, ancestors, and humanity in general).

I also enjoyed La Roux's music, particularly "Tigerlily." Her voice didn't surprise me...she has nice clear high notes and a strong middle range. It suits their music well.
