I agree, I think I will quote that one whenever someone asks what kind of music
I listen to/spin , then presents the usual puzzlement and questions over the
meaning of IDM. Some may or may not agree here... but I think its partly the
roots in those noted "accomplishments" of past pioneers that makes the
"Experiment" so earth shaking to those of us with open ears. Once re-processed
in a more progressive context, the subtle familiarity contained in releases
like "Odd Jobs", to me, creates a sort of foward Deja Vu to a past that did not
exist, inducing a sense of wonder over the future. While projecting a style that
is highly original, Phonecia most definitely draws some influence from
S.Florida's collective conscious - embedded with booming rythyms that we Miami
residents have been exposed to for the past decade and a half.
Can you say anything else about the latest Plateau? Anybody got a Review?
