Songs

Just a personal opinion: I often see the word "song" applied to popular music compositions (tracks, if you will) that feature no singing. In this article, that ambient-music composition "The Heavenly Music Corporation" is referred to as "a song." It rather beggars the imagination. B. Polhemus (talk) 15:08, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

• I've changed that. A "song" is actually a type of music, that is not necessarily vocal, but melodic and structured in a way as if intended for singing. Obviously "No Pussyfooting" would not fit that. But even if you stuck to the wiki definition of Song, then same thing applies.x (talk) 01:00, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Loops

well, if we're going to get into semantics, the technique doesn't use loops of tape either. the ends of the tape are not joined together, & the repetition of the sound comes from electronic feedback from the second recorder to the first, & not from repeatedly playing the same section of tape. tape loops are something else entirely- try Tomorrow Never Knows. duncan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.237.12 (talk) 08:51, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

• True, but looping stopped referring to physical tape quite a while ago, and now refers to automated repeating patterns of sound. Thus looping can be done with digital delays or with sequencers as well. But I've changed the article so that it's not really saying it uses "tape loops", but evolved from them. Maybe it should be clarified more?x (talk) 01:03, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Discography

Why is there a "Discography" section for a technique? This is not a Fripp/Eno page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:B5A0:EB90:8819:8461:B7F8:2C75 (talk) 17:30, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Deletion

When I researched this back in 2020, I didn't find enough reliable secondary sources on this topic to justify a standalone page. I'll leave it a week or two to see if anyone can do better, but if not I'll nominate for deletion and see what the consensus finds. Popcornfud (talk) 23:36, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
