Makes Goldfinger sound lke a work of undisputed genius in every way conceivable. |
Just like much of the fromer crap of the old times like some of the disco stuff ( Gloria Gaynor etc.) today gains much more of my respect, less because of nostalgy, but simply because there was so much quality of composing, playing, inventing even with the "low level" stuff compared to most of what is in todays charts.
But for fairness sake I think I should mention that especially in regard of originality times were easier ( apart of an absolutely unique accumulation of talent around 60s/seventies ) in my opinion. In my view musical diversity isn´t endlessly possible and after predecessors like Mozart, Beatles, Zep, Stones etc.pp. it has become almost undoable to compose something completely distinguished from what there has been before. One can still be in some way original and show personality, but inventions are much more of a challenge. Good sounding ones even more.
The Beatles were not only fantastic musicians, but they also lived in a paradise of undiscovered fields.
