***I don't want to drag this out, but I have to chip in on this: I like the new Ian Pooley album, but it's almost 100% latin (the house tempo and downtempo stuff) and not at all minimal; the Daft Punk album, though incredible, again doesn't fall into the same music-style category as the Luomo; the two house/tech house tracks on the new Photek album (both of which I love as I am a huge Robert Owens fan) are not Luomo-like; I cannot stand Terry Lee Brown Jr (a) don't appreciate a white person pretending he is black and using caricatures (pardon my spelling, i've been up all night); and being half-german myself, i definitely don't appreciate a german doing something stupid such as that; and b) i think his music sounds like sparkly soul-less synthethic goop; and do i like many things on plastic city, btw, so i'm only knocking tlbjr here), BUT I can objectively say that his music does not compare to Luomo style-wise; I liked the Indio album on Transmat, but it wasn't house/tech house; and I am a HUGE Larry Heard fan, but, again, his music does not compare music-style-wise to the Luomo. Love or hate the Luomo, Delay continues to show that he is able to record stunning electronic music in a wide variety of styles-- something many attempt to do, but a feat few attempt. pardon the rant, and i mean nothing personal, gil, i just didn't want your list to be taken as luomo-like. thanks. andrew duke :) -- Cognition/Andrew Duke's In The Mix 3rd annual Fundraising Auction for CKDU is now underway: http://techno.ca/cognition auction ends Wednesday November 29 at 12noon AST --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
