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.

hrvatski and lex are quite convenient, knowing how highly praised both of
these artists have been in the past), talking to big companies and
press-related people, willing to do interviews and other similar things. it
really doesn't have much to do with the quality of his music; he's setting
out to get his name known by peepz, instead of catering to a niche market
and remaining more obscure. >>
