Why do you need a knowledge of music production to appreciate it? I'm not taking a swing at cheap and easy basslines here - I've listened to so much progressive trance that I've practically gone insane - but it's something you can tap into FL Studio or any other workstation in about four seconds. It sounds like a generic pre programmed patch that came with Vanguard and there are ... two notes in it?

It doesn't take months of deep meditation or mouth to mouth from Brian Eno to 'tap in' to what a beautiful piece of production it is. Given that you built it up with it's own thread it's a crushingly by-the-numbers pop bassline. I love pop too and can appreciate music for the sheer fun of it but it doesn't change the fact that the song by and large sucks.
