Bach, Mozart, William Orbit and Trance

Ok,
So I've been reading these interesting subjects on the logic-users list. Thanks to John Lehmkuhl, I went out and bought "Strange Cargo" from William Orbit. And I must say, music seems to go in circles.
Some one mentioned Brian Eno on the list, I think it's Jan Hendrik. He must be the godfather of trance, Brian Eno that is. Or Stravinsky?
In the eighties I used to listen to artists like Eno, David Sylvian(Ex Japan), Wally Badarou. That's practically the same music they call trance now!

It doesn't mean I dispise trance. It's a great inspiration point as Sascha said. It makes you approach music differently. Like these cats called Jazzanova. These people don't know a thing about playing an instrument. But still they know how to combine sounds to produce albums. It's a totally different way of making music. I've seen this happen a couple of times. The punk movement also began with people not knowing how to play an instrument. Now you can hear punk in the sound of garage bands. With hiphop it's been the same.
Now stupid Limp Bizkit is riding on the hiphop train and the punk sound, :-).

Now about Mozart and Bach. These guys were also making popular music in their days. I read somewhere that some pieces of Bach were despised  in is days, and that they became appriciated long after his death. I bet they weren't thinking in musical structures of their days only. Bach was someone who liked to improvise, so did Mozart.
But their employers didn't like this so they were restricted, like record labels do nowadays, by them.
I wonder if Bach had Logic in his hands, what he would do with it.

Ok, that's it, I need to put another lounge CD in the player, :-).
Yoonchi.
