right. i will agree that ephedrina is more innovative, while accelerator
is more accessible. it is hard to hear something you expect to be richly
orchestrated be stripped to near minimal, i guess. when they go from what
they are doing now to something more melodic (though maybe not that much
more 'typical'), they will be heard as being that much more innovative.
that's my prediction.
seems like doing the fuzzy squawky bleepy music without much attention to
melody and structure is considered for some reason to be intelligent. like
all dance music you will see it get built up into a fuller, more vibrant,
melodic form of music (progressive i.d.m.?) over time. it will still be
called intelligent. just something to think about...
