Relatively speaking, it may take different time-span progressions for
releases to evolve from just being 'good' to 'great'. Or from great to not....I don't really care. I never mentioned anything about time-spans into levels of...whatever. I just thought your use of "intelligent" was funny. What was it now....oh yeah.."more intelligent dub techno". The word intelligent gets tossed around a little too much on this list. Is that one of the few words people have in their vocabulary to describe music? Ex..Oh that's intelligent grindcore or that's lesser intelligent dub.....blah blah. Sorry for the cynicism, it's just funny to me.For me this release was
instantaneous in my reaction. And for jusii, obviously a slightly different
timespan. It may also occur for you sometime also. I agree the Rapaccioli is a good release. It stands out a little more than other records in that vein. It's certainly not the most amazing record, but it's very nice.Well, as to your friends
that play it on radio, spot the *keywords* - they contend that they have too
much stuff that *sounds just like it* - and not vice versa!Actually the keyword was that "I" played it, not friends. And the thing you can note is that they liked it but obviously it didn't stand out enough to warrant buying more stuff like that. Of course, with this whole timespan continuum thing who knows? And remember that
intelligence is a subjective concept. The only other artists/ releases that I
can say pars on level with this release (within the minimal/ dub realm) at
the moment is Monolake and the Clicks/Cuts compilation. 8, 8.5, 9 remixes
also comes pretty close, I may say.
Time will tell...
Maybe next years Idm polls should have a Most Intelligent section added to every genre.
