could be true. whatever. if so, i would file them as the IDM equivalent to EBM's front line assembly. nothing groundbreaking, but very consistent, generally doing everything right. although fla have recorded quite a few clunkers in their time, they have also done some very good albums for the genre - albeit somewhat pedestrian in a way. which doesn't actually prohibit me from liking them, because they're just well done. somehow others do pretty much the same thing but don't make the cut. to me proem does. and actually, i don't see proem as any more cliched-IDM than say, phoenecia, who are also very good. d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
