I know well, that just because it has a violin it doesn't mean it's
folky...it's just this is a type of folky track, i'm not sure that it has
any eastern-ness about it, actually it doesn't have any eastern-ness about
it. I didn't say it was good only that i thought the xpress:2 remix of
Captain Dread by dreadzone is the closest id say idm has come to folk,
without being Enigma...or the latest Delerium album. I think it's a kind
of track that appears a bit tacky when you first hear it, and that most
idmers will hate, except a few of my mates have actually bought it and
love it.
As for Banco de Gaia, and Eastern Style idm, i'm not sure that Banco has
ever been 'Intelligent', but people like Banco De Gaia, and the feed your
head series on Planet dog have got eastern style ambience, banco's first
album is quite trancey. If you want some eastern type stuff then dare i
say...Transglobal Underground/ Natcha Atlas.
I don't like this stuff, so i'm not the one to judge.
thanks,
Nick.
