PP&F- M.O.R.P.H. into Machinery and ...

“It is always like this- that the dance magazines leave the trance and proggy stuff left outside little bit and attention focuses mainly on the house, electro, techno, even D&B gets more attention in them, but the fact is, the music which fills the stadiums is only the Armin van Buuren and Tiesto concerts, which is mostly trance and proggy, but anyways, it really shows that press keeps that kind of music mostly down.” – Alex M.O.R.P.H. As we continue to cross and destroy boundaries in our exclusive Past, Present & Future feature, we come across a...

PP&F- Italy vs. Juilliard to Billboa...

A quick look at this week’s Billboard charts reveals a new #1 track. Although seemingly inevitable with last week’s positioning at #2 and a steady climb during the last 13 weeks, the #1 position is usually reserved for the official remixes of Billboard Hot 100 tunes or tracks with questionable cross-over capabilities, but not this week.

All three of these song...

Trends and fads are flimsy at best when observed at face value, but one must discover their perpetual nature and...

Guilt & Resolution Always Leads To A...

Guilt implies that one experiences, realizes and believes – accurately or not- that they have violated a moral standard and that they are actually responsible for that violation. This cognitive and/or emotional experience one goes through can be fabricated, sub-conscious or based in reality. In other words, guilt can be blatantly self-inflicted and used to rationalize a completely different emotion or action. So- what the hell is a “guilty pleasure?!” Remorse, resentment and guilt are tags associated with morality and ethics-not music, right? A “guilty...
