It's one of that lad's recurring jokes to post music he knows I'll think is shite, call it "absolutely fantastic", and ask for an essay on why it's the best thing ever. I do get a giggle out of it sometimes to be fair, but I can't really be arsed to critique or comment on something these days unless it's posted in earnest or at least somewhat good. And yeah, fuck Filthy Frank. One of the least funny people to ever grace the internet, and I'm pretty sure the only people who ever liked him were the same mongoloid children who liked Fred and Annoying Orange.
I remember you or someone else posting that Plantasia album here before though. Not what I'd normally listen to, but it is pretty nice. I'm fairly sure I've posted this before, but check out Isao Tomita if you haven't already lad. He made beautiful, dreamy synth interpretations of classical music back in the 70s.
The amazing thing about the synth music of that era is that the big modular synths they were using back then were all monophonic; only one note could be played at any one moment, and to do multiple notes at once (i.e. chords) you'd have to record each note seperately over multiple takes. And he's doing an entire bloody orchestra. Then when you consider that they were also recording to tape, no computers involved, no quantization, no saving/loading synth patches to memory (if you wanted to recall a previous sound you had to write down all the settings and dial/patch everything back in manually, and those synths were fucking mammoths with a million controls), and no editing besides literally cutting & selotaping the tape back together, you can really start to appreciate the amazing feat that this music is.
