about

"Tyranny of Choice" is a rant from Andrew Weatheral, an English music producer-legend, who gave a lecture at the Red Bull Academy, on how he makes decisions while producing a track. He is a huge influence on Markus 'Fred' Scholl by having helped to create "Screamadelica", Primal Scream's epochal psychedelic masterpiece. Musicwise, it has a hip-shaking beat, which was borrowed from Nick Cave's "Grinderman", a clean Sixties guitar theme and some eerie synth tones that turn the light into gloom at the end of the song.

lyrics

Tyranny of Choice


The Arts of Destruction Unraveled

The Tyranny Of Choice

The Plethora Of Ploys



As an idea person

I am asked to use cultural filters

Don’t cross the cheese line

Don’t mess with the quantize

Don’t you ever change keys

more than twice


You’d better throw things in that stick

Use echoes, machines, magic tricks

Established vintage gear, you traded yesteryear

Which run on the verge of giving up the ghost


Take sound back through a valve

Use tape, record reel to reel

Perfection is cold and stiff to our ears

Not what we’re designed for

Without human feel.


The gung-ho-like confrontation

of realizing how uneducated you are

The naivity that resonates is

the ignorance of confidence in youth.


the state of music’s existence

other than in a computer

take it out and give it some air

choose bits not perfect, no loopers
