i think a lot of people just prefer to have a sterile sense of the music
(understandable, given the sterility of technique and influence in much
electronic music - hey, there's something that music can exemplify!). i
imagine it would be very uncomfortable to be a person who buys music based
on its "stoniness," "fucked-uppedness," etc. and then - after reading
candid liner notes - feeling pressure to account for more complex
extramusical concepts contributing to the sound, making for hard feelings
when they can't. it's the obverse of the rephlex team taking the piss out
of fame and of the creative process in interviews (and output), or the
unexplainable silence surrounding the choco p.b.o. theft.
