How has things like Soulseek affected our list/scene/genre????
Maybe we're not really talking much because it is soo easy to get this stuff
we move so quickly from one to another not allowing enough time to appreciate them?
Just a thought.

I have to agree, hardly anything released this year has interested me apart from the new MF Doom album. Recently I've been rediscovering/getting into early AE, Throbbing Gristle, Kraftwerk, Black Dog, Humanoid, Juan Atkins and my word does it sound FRESH compared to most of the stuff released recently. I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that dance/electronic music in general reached it's peak around 15 years ago. Seriously. Combined with a massive decline in posts to this list (eBay listings not withstanding) makes me think that there are less and less good new ideas out there and that the tenuious IDM scene is dead.
