thread_title:  More In-Depth 

message: This topic is NOT a guitar technique. It is musical style.
If we start listing every style of music performed on the guitar under "guitar performance techniques" we would soon be in big trouble. Therefore I've removed it from that category. RichardJ Christie 00:42, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That category remains from the merger of the article with Piedmont fingerstyle.  It is actually not so easy to distinguish this style of blues from the guitar techniques used to play it.  I'm OK with this either way.  I don't think having it in that category is getting us into "big trouble". -MrFizyx 04:06, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  I see the term "Piedmont" falling into two categories, at least when refrencing blues music:  Piedmont fingerpicking is most certainly a guitar performance technique, whereas Piedmont blues is a subgenre of blues music that incorporates this fingerpicking technique.  A similar confusion/controversy arose from whether we should only include musicians in this article that are specifically from the Piedmont region and inventers of the fingerpicking technique, or if the list may also include musicians not native to the Piedmont region but were players of Piedmont blues (i.e. Mance Lipscomb, who hailed from Texas).  I'm inclined to go with the latter.  However, I'm an amateur and certainly not a musicologist, so I'm not going to declare I'm 100% correct on this.  Peace.  --buck 15:05, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've edited the redirect from Piedmont fingerstyle so that it now contains the category.  This is how I left things after the merger, but someone was unhappy with that as well.  We'll see how it goes. -MrFizyx 19:03, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A good way to make the distinction between the two topics would be to describe, at least a bit, the guitar technique itself. Beside knowing where it got it's name from, we don't know much about the technique, musically speaking. the description is somehow vague, in my opinion. TakenAback 01:55, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Symphony No. 4 (Ives)

message: The full orchestration required to perform this symphony alone is truly spectacular.
I have changed this sentence. The size of the orchestra (about 75 players) is an average size
for romantic scores like Tchaikowsky or Brahms and even your smaller Mahler symphony. For "spectacular"
sizes try Mahlers Second, Third and Eight Symphonies, which both require an orchestra alone of
about 100 players, plus large choral masses and vocal soloists. The orchestral forces are still 
outsized by Strawinsky's "Sacre", which requires about 120 musicians, and Schoenberg's "Gurre-Lieder",
for an orchestra of about 150 players, plus soloists, three male choruses and one large mixed chorus.
Havergal Brian's "Gothic" Symphony, considered the "largest" symphony of all times, calls
for an orchestra of 200 musicians, plus about 800 singers.

Even if traditional instruments were banned (which I find unlikely) then is it totally impossible that "unbanned" instuments were adopted? Which instruments in Gaelic culture did not exist in other cultures as well? Bagpipes were pan-European (Chaucer has his English characters playing them), as were harps, flutes, etc. This just sounds like another "poor celts" fairytale.

Talk:Ragga jungle

message: Much as I like the ragga jungle, this article is fatally flawed. When jungle began seperating from hardcore/rave, there was no such thing as ragga-jungle. All jungle was jungle and there was no distinction or little distinction between jungle tracks. Nobody called jungle with ragga vocals "ragga-jungle". The term "ragga-jungle" is a definition thought up to differentiate the ragga vocal sound of drum and bass/jungle from mainstream drum and bass, after ragga vocals were abandoned by most producers. Calling Rebel Mc or Shy Fx ragga-jungle in 1991-1995 is a distortion of history. North American producers creating ragga influenced drum and bass/jungle may like to think that they are the rightful heirs of a style that existed in 1991 but back in the day, there was no ragga-jungle. Most jungle producers "back in the day" are now drum and bass producers to those who bother to clearly differentiate the styles. 
Apart from the mistake in calling the 1991-1995 style ragga-jungle, it is an abuse not to recognise that drum and bass and ragga-jungle are difficult to differentiate, which is worth at least a mention that some view ragga jungle as a subgenre of drum and bass.
--Dustek 20:39, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Bollocks

message: the first line of the article is truly off the mark.
"Jungle" begat "Drum and bass"; which later splintered into sub-genres as the music gained popularity and technology improved. 
It would have been difficult to make "Ragga-jungle" without high-speed internet access to the singers / accapellas / breaks, and the processing muscle needed to time-stretch tracks to fit the bpm. Some people may indeed have recorded singers and produced tracks in this style 'back in the day', but not enough to actually describe it as a sub-genre at that time. Now, anyone with a cheap pc and a modem can mash it up, and the number of producers working this way has increased enough to put this sub-genre on the map.
To me "Ragga-jungle" has always described the two main parts of this sub-genre: 
"ragga" : reggae/dancehall vocals  
"jungle" :  old-school sound palette for making the music  
ie: classic breaks, laser beams, sirens, lick shots, etc...
