Anyone else miss the human touch?

chem

Its not only in music but even day to day stuff. Eg: please press 1 if you want bla bla. 2 if you want other bla bla.

But for example:

OR

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkXXJCOHYV4&feature=user

Both good tunes but I feel the 1st has alot more "Human" feel. Not the video but the live music feel to the piece.

Has the computer taken over?

Anyone making or listening to music done on a computer, i.e. not drums, guitar, bass or a proper instrument should be shot. They're wasting air I could be breathing.

Other than that, I prefer computers.

Anyone restricting their musical tastes to sounds made only by traditional instruments (guitars etc) should be beaten around the head with a Roland TB-303. There's an infinite range of sound out there.

Not really. Humans are stupid.

I, for one, welcome our pre-recorded over lords.

Computers are proper instruments.

Computers are made by humans.

Music made on computers is made by humans.

Fúck this elitist **** from idiots who can't comprehend the infinite range of innovation and musical possibilities that computers have granted us.

What an odd comparison to make.

The 'human touch' is missing from the second piece because it's a cynical, by-the-numbers hack-job. Just some talentless twit trying to make a bit of cash on the back of somebody else's music.

Stuff like that is the reason electronic music is a dirty word in some quarters.

Go listen to Stars of The Lid or Burial or something and then try to tell us the human touch is missing.
