From our relatively hypersensitive standpoint, that's true... but I feel like someone coming from a non-IDM-intensive musical place would find the differences between older stuff and newer stuff to be trifling. Are (to pick names at random) Arovane and Ulrich Schnaus really that different from early Aphex and Autechre? In cases where the new and the old *are* notably different stylistically, I feel like they have still been created in the same spirit: "hey, what cool things can i make my electronics do?" and that they have basically the same audience, which i guess is... us? =t= --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
