Propulsion Or Anguish? [thought piece]

Propelled Anguish

The minor strain of anguish is a feat that works its way into every piece of music at some point.

From Massive Attack's 1995 masterpiece "Unfinished Sympathy" in trip-hop dilettantism; Whigfield's wishing for commercial rave
depth on "Saturday Night"; or much courteously removed, Hellfish's madness gabber on "Meat Machine Broadcast System".

Anguish moves with the times. Propulsion moves with asking "why?"

It can be wondered, from the propulsion bringing the questioning of the maker, that anguish comes after movement in the throes
of passionate replication of feelings, moods, understandings; some, although nebulous in the extreme...misunderstandings too.

For me, ambient posed the most questions, without the most, recollections. Ambient seems free-flowing, lyrically absent.

For me also, lyric-centric strains of dance floor music peak the most anguish from disappointment with the format.

What format would that be? Strictly based on time signature - 4/4 - ridddles out a bounty of half-baked filler tracks.

Of course, Damo Suzuki and the kosmiche rock 'n' roll of non-poodle rock also deserves investigating.

Momentum, the quintessential "foreword" in going forward, usually gives the live drummer, percussionists and guitarist ballache.

Keyboardism, indeed, propels itself by being patterned to a grid; hence, possibly, instrument choice gives some of the answer.

But synthesis is karma, and virtuousity is just an exercise. Totalism of an instrument is a "diaristic" exercise, but yay or nay?

It leads to the concentric regard to each musician, or non-musician, that emotion creates the forte, or the flop.

Propulsion or anguish? Yet again, it totally depends on how many chips you're willing to sacrifice for humility of your work.
