you write, and I quote "It really doesn't have to do with the quality of his music" - okay, sorry, but you are really on the wrong list if you think that. Something with idm that most fans adore, is the complexity, but most importantly the superiority of idm music over most other forms of music. Kid 606 may be pressin his name, but that's just because most of his music needs press to sell it, cause it sucks. I am sorry, yes, I liked the soccergirl EP, his shit with Lexaunculpt...but even that is just good idm, not the real good stuff. Then he does stuff like "GQ on the EQ" which sounds like pins and static ripping my eardrums apart. There is a thin line between chaos and the beauty idm artists often find in chaos (sometimes utter silence too). Kid 606 is way over the line (on the shitty side). again, I am not saying he hasn't produced proper shit, but not what any great idm would do, and not worth the emails we are writing about him. peace, Noraul p.s. and what's this eminem remix shit. I know his NWA remix of "fuck the polic" was very well done for being such a hard idm song, but continuing that style by mixing eminem (and in a very annoying and repetitive fashion) was all wrong.
