This is a general reference source... not a local Music Mensa meeting. Impress people somewhere else! First there is no source for all this pretentious-sounding gobbledygook, so God only knows if it is even accurate, and second it is not written for a general audience anyway so it does not belong here. If I were a music PhD, I would not be looking this up on Wikipedia, would I? Would somebody please translate all this jargon-hooey into plain English that us heathens can understand, or else delete it? Or at the very least, edit out the worst bits and source it properly? Sheez. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.54.250.11 (talk) 22:45, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"The song begins with a heartbeat representation (says who?), which then is heard to disrupt settled rhythm: the dialectic of life becomes subversive (what?!), rather than the youthful and joyous "heart" of rock's typical bass drum/snare drum alternation (huh?). The bass guitar is the "wrong" instrument to be echo-delayed (wrong? according to what or who?). Such musico-conceptual tensions (what?) give rise to the recording's unsettled, dislocated feel, which is further intensified by haunting proto-disco strings and a soulful Motown-esque male voice in occasional harmony." Dialectic of life? Subversive? Proto-disco? Who wrote this gibberish? Plain English, please! This is NOT a place to write your academic thesis, or whatever this nonsense is supposed to be! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.54.250.11 (talk) 22:50, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The lengthy quote from Jeff Wayne includes the following: "And so I had this idea that there would nothing on it that played a chord, ..." I suspect that the actual wording was "there would BE nothing", however, I don't know that for sure. Rdvaldesdapena (talk) 12:44, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
