i'm like a lot of people in that i grew up reading a lot of music criticism without any sense of what the music sounded like, only a web of connections that had been made about it - i still rely on that for a lot of stuff.
Me as well - but idk, your Balearic example confuses me cos you did have to hear at least 1x Paul Oakenfold and 1x Lindstrom (or whomever) in order to get 1) what it meant in the 90s and 2) what it meant in '06, even if you could get 3) there was a shift/progression in the meaning/application of the word just from reading reviews? Tari's complaining about imprecision and to anyone who's not heard Oakenfold or Lindstrom 3) is not going to be a concept of great precision. XD; I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I AM DESCRIBING MY EXACT EXPERIENCE WITH "SCHAFFEL".
