Bonobo slowly achieved the point that guided him towards an acceptance of his subtle electronic idiom. Days To Come might be the record, where many understood him, though he still wasn't there yet. Then again, the context of the scene gave him an assistance here. The label he was on – Ninja Tunes – and a lot of others had a boom of electronica that continued with the ethos of the 90's electronica like Bonobo, though they moved beyond the latter's rigidity. Mind you, I'm not claiming the electronica from that decade was always like that. No, what I suggest here is that many members of the 90's electronica became heavily formal later on, whereas Bonobo and his peers presented to them how they missed their own points.

was a bit confused as to why houses bracken and blackwood got so much screen time at the beginning of this episode but the harrenhal scenes make it clear: they are being used as a stand-in for the two sides of house targaryen during the dance. they've hated each other for so long and were chomping at the bit to spill blood once more. when daemon asks why they hate each other, he gets only that "the answer to that is lost in time." as ser simon says: "sin begets sin begets sin." history does not truly remember nor care who started the feud between the two houses; just as history will not truly remember or care who started the dance of dragons. as rhaenys said, some will blame jaehaerys's death, some will blame luke's, some will blame the loss of aemond's eye, and none will care in the wake of the destruction that is wrought- not even the surviving members of house targaryen. at best, one side achieves a pyrrhic victory; at worst, the infighting never ceases.

I Don't Do That Anymore
I Don’t Do That Anymore
[DOUG]
There was a time when I was known as loose
Ganders were fine if I was out of goose
Chickens flying in and out of my door
But I don’t do that anymore
[BRIAN]
I used to drink like a dried up whale
Swallow the brine ’til I was on my tail
Dive for goldfish on the barroom floor
But I don’t do that anymore
[DOUG & BRIAN]
No, I don’t do this and I don’t do that
I don’t lose my head, I don’t toss…

Bonobo's career is something of an intriguing collection of a variety of paths that lead towards the same garden as one can assume from my discussions on his discography in these posts. Therefore, Migration sort of stayed within the lane of The North Borders, but the personal issues intervened in his world, which resulted in a much darker album. Of course, this does not suggest a bleak LP – Mr. Green still thinks of the venues that could play the tunes here –, though something appears to be different. There's a certain hesitation present, which does – to be honest – suit his idiom well, because the statement shows another facet of him. Then again, many of his peers at that point were doing the same, i.e. fishing for surprises.
