Music is better than ever.

I am sitting here with a rather large playlist of tunes I've had sent to me recently, and frankly, for all of the bitching about how music is shit lately, I don't see it. Nor do I hear it.

I'm hearing a lot of great music, so if you're not, I suggest you dig a bit deeper. It's out there if you want to find it. You have a lot more of it as well to choose from. That means there will be a lot more of it that is shit, but also it means that there is a lot more of it that will be amazing as well... the sound is spreading, new influences are catching on and genres are being bent and molded into something new once again. Embrace it or get run over. Music is still alive and kicking.

There are also a lot of labels who are very reliable for putting out quality music fairly often. No excuse for anyone unless you live in the third world.

i would say it depends on the genre, couse i hear a lot of different genre and a few of them like grime and Metal are lately really bad in my opinion. Dubstep is the only genre which is bigger than ever currently

sure, but...

there was something about dubstep and now it's gone. maybe it was this cutting edge between garage and dubstep that got the things rolling.

out to the heads who remember:
tempa allstars vol.2 / big apple recordings / horsepower / early skream and benga + dmz
who remembers wiley with his devil mixes - pure fire, dread minimalism.
dark, heavy, rolling

dubstep evolves but somehow it forces me to go back in time - garage and hardcore all the way back to bleep. thats why zomby caught the spirit of the moment with his "where were u i 92" last year for me.

anyway, wonky seems to be interesting, like an echo of something, memories of the future.
you can kill me, but uk funky was more innovative and exciting recently. real gems, but you have to dig deep.

When there's nothing new coming out that I'm interested in, that's when I generally go back and fill gaps in my collection. It gets expensive, but it's worth it in the end. I love music.

Music of any genre will only benefit from the downfall of the major labels as a whole, the power is being put back in the hands of the musician - full creative control and the technology is now here to distribute things easily,

A positive bi-product of the credit crunch, no doubt.
