i don't believe that for a second. i'm taking a wild stab in the dark here, but i think they listen to autechre and afx.

yes, but when you have a hip-hop MC rap over some beats that are clearly going for a hip-hop sound.. i think you're doing hip hop, or some neoelectrofunk take on it. and i'm saying in the case of the 2 tracks on the new funkstorung, it just plain doesnt work. the MCs may as well not even be there, their flows are so destroyed by the music in the tracks. -rk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
