never heard of them. but i gave it a listen and it was alright. i don't know, i'm kind of fickle with music and it can have 'merit' but if i don't feel it it's not for me. also how do you guys not go insane/lose interest listening to a lot of music without any vocals in it.

classical is different and you know it.

imo most of the best music has no vocals (including but not limited to classical)

that's true, but it doesn't mean that in general instrumental is better than vocals. i can have a sense of place and comfort with a human voice, with ambient or something like that, it is like i was thrown out in some dark corner of space, and told here, find a place for yourself.

jammed to this last night.

I like music without words in it a lot. Translating feelings and stuff without words. Much dopeness. Would like to do that. I saw Ratatat at Coachella last year do wish I could see them and remember it better.
