and who did Aphex study to learn his technique? i'm not necessarily disagreeing with you or anything, but seriously... with as many bedroom electronic musicians as there are out there(and god, there are so many!), the few that are going to stand out and rise above the rest are the guys that wade into uncharted waters -while- writing good songs. and most of the "amateur" idm stuff i've heard, sounds like really bad knock-offs of tri repetae era autechre. man, to make that kind of music sound good, you HAVE to be autechre. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
