I couldn't agree more with this msg, most people on this list have no
conception of music, only sound... the inverted snobbery of raving about a
particular sample or mix rather than someones voice or instrumental talent
is absolutely negative, most idm artists and listeners seem to have no
knowledge of anything not created using a sampler or sequencer
programme...the ears of most listeners have been polluted by poor quality,
bedroom mixing and mp3 conversion...many idm artists spend thousands of
dollars on kit an often just regurgitate someone elses sound...quite a few
10 year old kids could do a similar job
