It's funny the way themes are repeated on this mailing list (and many
others, presumably). Probably a result of the constantly shifting
membership. Allowing for all that, I can't believe that people are
expending so much energy on the relative merits/commercial potential of ***
and ***** etc.
Playing this morning and still on in my head: Philip Glass "Facades"
performed by the Ensemble Moderne at the BBC Proms last night. I've been
searching for this piece since 1992. If only more IDM-ish releases moved
me this much. Now I dislike people moaning about how the list has got much
worse lately or similar complaints (I think it's stayed roughly the same in
my 2 1/2 years) but hearing the Glass piece made me think how trivial a lot
of the current threads are. Not that I've started many content-packed
threads myself, mind.
Don't forget to buy Big Loada today. It's quite good.
