Yes, Chafing Dish did say Delius was regurgitated Debussy, but either way round it comes to the same thing, doesn't it?
No, it amounts to the opposite thing. Debussy didn't regurgitate Delius because he didn't consume him. I admit that the analogy is rather crude, but I'm just stating an opinion, not making a claim of truth. Sorry to step on your little rose garden.
Clearly since Delius was a great master of subtle harmony (and I'm quite happy that he should be called an !Impressionist") and Debussy wasn't, then Chafing Dish's assertion is wrong.
My assertion is no more wrong than yours. I was stating an opinion, not making a truth-claim.
How can a trite manipulator of the whole-tone scale be "regurgitated Delius"?
Who? Debussy? Is that how you see his work? OK. You've made clear where you stand. Enjoy your Delius, and if any happens to be allotted to me, you can have that too.
