It's amazing how much you people are reading into a single sentence. He said *nothing* about electronics in music. In fact, we have no idea what he said (note the parenthesis). Computer-reliant producers could mean anything. A thing worth noting that "producers" and "musicians" or "artists" are not the same or interchangable. There is also no qualitative definition of "computer-reliant." If you listen to Lenny Kravitz's last album (the one with his ever-present in TV commercials cover of "American Woman"), you really can hear that it was hand-crafted in Pro Tools. -- andrij. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
