The riff sounds very familiar, very early Genesis-like but can't quite place it.




Well, there's no point to place it. It is as it is.

This simple, repetitive stuff shouldn't sound so good. But it does. I can detect an Emanicipator tune in an instant; it's always welcome in this office.



Great heads down music

If repeating yourself, it really pays to not repeat a spelling error. - Hint, it's not TOO or AWFUL

If the number of your comments had been easily divisible by four, I would have found it more interesting.

On a grey, wet, winter's day here in country Victoria, Australia, looking into another snap COVID lockdown, this is the perfect track. Emancipator's music adds warmth & chill at the same time, a fire pit with the snow falling.

Pretty much all music, save experimental stuff like Stockhausen or Birtwhistle, is repetitive. Even Mozart was repetitive. The trick is to have sufficient interest and minor variation within the major repetitive structures to retain the listener's interest, and IMO this number has that.
 
Yes a good Hook helps

Emancipator!

There's nothing wrong with repetition.  All music has some.  The problem with Emancipator is predictability.

 
I can’t disagree, but I still like almost everything he does.

Fair enough, thanks. To clarify, most any song (by anyone) does not vary in tempo.  I was trying to say that his songs, when taken together, all have a similar tempo, with smaller variance that other arteests.  That is just my perception — scientific inquiry would require too my effort for my lazy bones.
 
It does seem that a lot of the songs I've heard from him do have similar tempos overall, more than other artists I've heard in those genres.  As you said, scientific inquiry would just require too much time and energy anyhow.  His stuff is pretty easy to identify right away - I don't know if that's good or bad though.

Peep Show

In the Channel 4 comedy series Peep Show, "Mark's Women", Jeremy joins a new religious movement, Spiritual Wellness, which defines    Orgones  as "the invisible molecules of universal life energy which govern our moods and our actions", with negative Orgones being the sources of all the problems in the world.
