I was going to restrict this to my own lj because it is very rambling and I've never made a post on here before. :0 I thought I might make it here though because the whole 'happy hardcore/eurobosh in pop or owt' thing has come up quite a lot during the League of Pop (err, at least I think it has) and so I thought it might be relevant/of interest. If it is wrong then delete it etc.
Right. So. Cascada. I have spent this evening trying Cascada.
I mean I can kind of see this is pop. It is definitely a sound which has been mainstream at some point and is still popular. However, I find it rather more complicated than, say, Aphex Twin (although I would be willing to argue that he's just Simon Cowell of the indie world ie: ultimately a force for pop insofar as Simon Cowell is basically pro-indie propaganda OR SOMETHING) or, like, I dunno ...I enjoy aggressive hardcore or whatever they call that these days but this sort of business has always left me rather confused.
