***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 :)
