I'm sure that's some of it -- there's definitely more traffic when SoulSeek
goes down :D
But it also wouldn't surprise me if most of the time the album conversations
have moved to real-time chat things like IRC and SoulSeek, since you can
supplement reviews with "Here, listen to this track." You can't really do
that via email.
Another factor is that the names people are used to either aren't making
music anymore, or are making music that isn't very good or is drastically
different from what they were making before. The good music is, like it was
5-10 years ago, from small artists on small labels without a lot of
fanfare. It's still IDM, it's still familiar, and it's still GOOD. It's
just not on Warp and it's not by Autechre.
