Bringing Some Perspective: A Reflection
@Lisa Mirror listened to W. An excellent collection of songs. Like Grimes, she has paid a great deal of attention to sound texture, color and hue; Mirror read a review that, perhaps unfavourably, compared PTR to The Knife but thought it not so. S…

Well, this proved to be a more productive night than the last one: some good discussing going on here. Keep it up, see, makes the place a lot more interesting, doesn’t it? Thank you, Lisa, for pointing Mirror to Planningtorock. Enjoyed that very m…

@Mirror I have to admit I kind of agree: I too really enjoyed Grimes' album, and thought some of the sounds were so deep and intense, it really brought a new dimension to the genre, unbeknown to me.Have you heard of Planningtorock? A very inter…

Fans are supposed to love an artist, often regardless what the artist does! So, it's already difficult to "inject the critical thinking", but it you think that coming here with this arrogant approach is the best way to do it, you…

Finally Lisa, someone who will look beyond the veil I was wondering whether Goldfrapp can still be considered an electronic band? When I first heard "Genesis" by Grimes I was astonished by the quality of production and the insight in music…

The reason Mirror does not disclose a personal identity yet is because previously it was not appreciated when any form of criticism was posted. Being a long term member/observer of the board Mirror has wittnessed it changing from a collective of peo…

I'm pretty sure that if you'd come on here as a regular new user, got to know us and broached the subject of how people viewed the band pre and post HF and over the long term career/art wise you'd have got a quite different reactio…

The difference between "inspiration" and "explotaition" is quite clear, no?

People are quick to draw conclusions, but Mirror never said the band should do a Felt Mountain 2. God forbid, that would be ridiculous. But there was a concept, an artistic integrity, a musical quality that has long gone. Felt Mountain still sounds …

See, you can discuss things in a reasonable depth, after all. A personal thank you to Border_Mind and Lisa for getting things started where Mirror couldn’t. It appears the use of lyrics went over many a “Frappers” head, although best to consider t…

Mirror only reflects, and therefore should not be surprised by the one-liners that were thrown back. However, Mirror will leave you to reflect on the following: future historians of music, when they look back upon the first 100 years of electronic m…

ping thinks its hard to have constructive dialogue with someone who won't even own their own comments It's simple, it goes like this: Mirror stated some fair comments about the state of the previous album, wondering how it is possiblethat…

in fairness you've said yourself you've only heard a few clips on the internet, so how can you comment on the quality of the new album? Mirror does not comment on the quality - but only worries over the level of one-sided uniform approv…

Mirror is a little disappointed, where are all it's like-minded voices?Jaxsbudgie, Corvina, Sartori, Shamie, even the old Carpathian who was up for constructive dialogue? Where are the people who demanded quality over a few glossy pics?

The Mirror is surprised, so even bad music turns into good music if it makes money?Art is art if it sells? Where do these twisted morals come from? Capitalism is everything?What about quality? Artistic integrity?

also i'm not sure referring to yourself in the third person is entirely healthy... Jacques Lacan has very interesting things to say about Mirrors, there might not even be a first person.

And? Auditioning for the Antiques Roadshow or something? No, rather a hint to the fact that is not the first post Mirror has posted. Mirror has been around for a very long time.

The reflective Mirror is sadly more of a blunt hatchet. The Mirror only reflects what is in front of it:emptiness reflects emptiness,shallowness reflects shallowness. The Mirror has been around for a very long time.

Reflect what you are, in case you don't know I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset The light on your door to show that you're home When you think the night has seen your mind That inside you're twisted and unkind …
