I'm a little lost sheep who's lost his way ... I didn't notice my posts 'strayed' that much ... but thanks for including me in such an august community. If you look at the original AI artists, they've all strayed themselves. It's a dead end to try and limit the discourse too much, anyway. I will admit that I occasionally buy Jungle records. But a look in my CD rack will find lots of Detroit, Ambient, and whatever alongside the 'classic' IDM material. And at home the Clear Plaid E.P. is nestled next to my 3-record boxed set of "Songs of yesterday and today, played for your enjoyment on the mighty Hammond B3." I think anything with beats, that someone might dance to, that someone might listen to at home as well. Or at work through headphones, my usual configuration. -- "I AM PROBABLY THE LAMEST CHARACTER EVER KNOWN TO MANKIND, THE HUMAN RACE, OR THE WORLD IN GENERAL. EVEN IF YOU SHIPPED ME OFF TO JUPITER, I'D KILL OFF ALL THE ALIENS BECAUSE THEY'D DIE OF EXPOSURE TO LAMENESS." - Scott Koladich, in a fit of abnegation. kent.williams@cadsi.com [Kent Williams/CADSI/2651 Crosspark Rd/Coralville IA 52241/(319)626-6700]
