@scorchedsound I agree what you say but personaly I dislike mostly all music with "speech" for me the power of music result in the fact that give emotion without any word. It's closer that what emotions are, a feeling. Plus music is an universal langage without any words and that's why it's so powerful and magical. And I believe that if the AI is the most spread inteligence in universe electronic music must be too ^^ I like classical music most of all too btw

I think one big reason classical music isn't so popular is because the majority of it has no vocals. Whenever a person is humming a favorite tune, 99% of the time they're humming the vocal melody or singing the melody with the lyrics. Also, from an Evolutionary standpoint, the Human voice is the most exciting sounding instrument (if you will) there is. Probably because it was beneficial to Human survival to listen to each other.

Yeah, kinda like the tune in the background of Super Maria. That one always make me feel happy.... except the special tune in the castles, that one makes me feel more tense and concentrated. Now that is glorious, like euphoria without any need for dangerous drugs.

Shining eyes indeed. Wish I had a music teacher with enthusiasm like this.
