Yea, I know what you mean. I overheard a few of my friends talking about
perfect drug and how the sound was so new and interesting. What scares me is
that these people are creative, interesting people who just don't happen to
be into idm/ambient/techno/ect music yet. I thought I would brood about how
everything was going to be screwed up. But then I realized...I have to hook
these people up!
No sense waiting for the media to exploit the "safest", most poppish of the
IDM artists...hell, from now on I am going to make sure to reccomend to
every person I see getting into IDM the artists who pushed and are pushing
the limits.
People are really going to like this electronic music. I remember when I
first got into it, even the worst crap would blow my mind. Sometimes I still
have a hard time separating the good from the bad. How can someone who has
never heard breakbeat or d&b tell if a songwriter is drawing from cliches?
Help the newcomers!
