re: Dance/Electronic split
To make such a thing is to ignore the origins which you talk of so fondlely
fondly... sure Ae no Throbbing Gs/Behrmann/etc but Warp and affiliates, not
to mention many others are all rave inspired rave-led..... one has only to
listen to i.e. Trainer - archetype idm, sure, but fucking rave too ("Uneasy
Listening" is R A V E) rave rave rave rave .... so yeah. And Ninja Tune
isn't idm if your gonna make that split, nor shadder, yet you talk about
them and own their records (YES YOU DO). It never occured to me that the
more abstract (or not) side a hiphop would be considered idm (not that i
give a fuck) but it seems odd to make a distinction like that and still
discourse (cough) on hiphop (or hip-hop, or hip hop or beatz or even beats)
- if anyone wants to say that Warp/Rephlex/Spymania/Skam isn't dance thats
probably cos you cant/wont "dance" to it. - oh fucking blah - what IS an
electronic record? or a dance one? genres are interesting (someone sed this
earlier) but geeks are fucking geeky. a thrilling conclusion..... i am drunk
