What is the "Sound" of "Now"?

sean [Edit] [Delete] 16:45, 1 August '11

If it's not the hyper-regressive sound of the big-sellers or the Bumford & Cunts anti-now folk renactment dross, what is it?

I mean, if you were to put this year (and maybe the past few too) into a time capsule of sounds that define 'now' and no other era, what would go in it?

The ambient sprawl of John Maus and SBTRKT would def be in there, and some of the post-Burial types, for me, for sure.
