> I think the only time 60s music is properly done is
when some group like Mono or Massive Attack uses it's
elements. These days, musicians in the mainstream
don't have the capacity to grasp the quality of 60s
garage, soul, or r&b.
I agree, essentially. I guess it is a form and like any form requires
innovation on top of it for life, vivacity. Like some shit, Elephant 6
recording collective for example (the Essex Green, Minders, Apples in
Stereo), that delves into the past which doesn't sound offensive, but
somehow lacks the proper understanding of that form... I guess it comes down
to how does one feel about the Nazz and their version of British Invasion,
Philadelphia style. True understanding leads to true innovation... perhaps
for me the good shit from the 60's always denotes possibilities with an
ambivilent relationship to the past � a tenuous position to say the least.
Oh well.
