Why is it that I feel compelled to erase all the new posts that have arrived in the IDM folder every time that I leave my computer? What's this all about? Some high school gathering? Come on!!? I still had some hope... Posts about the demise of the so called rave scene? Naaa!!! All that happened a long time and a very far place ago. Very tired! Ae does and don'ts? They are the masters... is there really any doubt?????? but, that doesn't make them untouchable! Does it change their status? I don't think so, listen to the music and talk less BS... 5.1 maybe or maybe not, will it change a *good* (heavy subjective interference) track into something else or vice versa? No, I don't think so... rather, it's simply a technological issue (a good way to avoid taking a stand on musical convictions, if there are any.) Furthermore, given how few public places in the World (read bars or night clubs or whatever) there are, that have *ANY* kind of sound system, this whole discussion is beyond belief, wake the f**k up!, and just consider to listen to the music.) Best live act topic: is this really the IDM list of the year 2002? Can somebody please post any "live" act reference from this millennium? (Murcof from Leaf Recordings at Sónar 2002 in Barcelona?) Why don't you just listen to the music... Squarepusher's 'So plastic'? Might be exciting and exotic if you never ever heard or listened to or came in contact with (the late stages of) drum'n'bass... a retrospective laugh at best or simply depressing. Check out any release by Paradox, Arcon 2, Alpha Omega, Danny Breaks, Unknown Factor, Nucleus, Hidden Agenda, Special Forces, Search Engine, Sonar Circle, Teebee, Polar, Klute, Seba, Source Direct, Photek, Lenk or Blito instead. Warp is brilliant, but they're not the World... Who cares in what direction the needle is going? (except if you're trying to remember when or if you're playing out) Do you actually listen to the music as well? Vendor Refill - Stable EP Expanding Records - evsc1:01 FAB - (any track) Icarus - Kamikaze Icarus - Fijaka Icarus - Squid Ink Funckarma - Parts (and anything they've ever done) Metamatics - From DeathToPasswordsWhereYou'reAPaperAeroplane Lowfish - Maintain the tension Folie - Misspass Phonem - Hydra Electric Fibla - Landscopes L'usine Icl - Iron City Esem - Enveloped Naono - Slope Drifting Lazyfish / Mewark - Untitled K2O - No Space for Dogma ...are all really nice sounding right now! //Bell03 "We call it electronica" The idm list? I heard so much about it... I got to leave now and I will not be coming back, bye bye! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
