It makes sense though: Where a normal listener hears music, the musician hears notes chords, and instruments. Often I don't think of leads as "synths", instead I hear "triangle wave bass" or "distorted filtered saws" without having to think it.

Hehe, I somehow miss the old days when I experienced music as a chunk of sound that changed over time.  Was a bit easier to like music back then, though of course the experience gets richer the more things you discover is going on.

I have that too, the more I know about music, the less I'm enjoying it. I used to be able to listen to any set and get goosebumps from every tune that Ferry played, and although I know that trance has not really improved over time, I never have that experience now....

Yeah, come to think of it, the goosebumps are long gone. Maybe its becouse no longer experience the music, you are analysing it.
Heh, how appropriate |

I don't know if I can agree though. To learn to experience music like I did in the old days, all I had to learn was to listen to songs for what they are, instead of trying to think of how they could have been different and "improved".
Of course there's songs I like much less than others, and there's a lot of things I don't like to hear. But I'm not ruining the experience of a dfast or xerxes tune by thinking "if only that lead was less distorted".
I don't think knowledge of music will ruin the experience. I more think that writing certain kind of reviews can though, and there are a few CTG'ers who I honestly think are destroying their ability to enjoy music (judging from their reviews). But I shouldn't tell who. Besides, I might be wrong.

Well, the difference between now and the past is that I know more of music. I now hear a beat, (and what's in it) and a sine-wave instead of one CHUNK of sound in which I could only define what the climax and what the intro was...
Right now I'm thinking --> Hey this vocal works very nicely with the bell on the backgroud, while in the past I would have no idea, but I enjoyed it more....

Still, "normal" people are also quite aware of such things. You know, sing along with melodies, knowing which instruments they hear, and dancing in sync with music. However, you got a point though, they don't hear every detail the same way as many musicians does.
