I have been reading IDM, Ambient, 313 lists for some time now and get so bored of reading dozens and dozens of posts by frothy mouthed people who obviously have so much time on their hands that they can sit at their computer so often during the day to make posts about the most insignificant of details, and who obviously have so few other interests or distractions that they can actually go on at length about who Woodenspoon is or "maybe do you think that it might be some new side project" for fucking RDJ (he's a whole different topic, while he may be creative and innovative, he is one of the biggest drips I have ever met. I find it difficult to really care when he doesn't). While I sincerely appreciate and support enthusiasm and interest in new forms of electronic music, I get sickened by the obsession with irrelevant details surrounding the music. It's no different than people who worship Elvis or religious fanatics, all of them are missing the point. I would like to see what others have to say about this. I am seriously considering unsubscribing from these lists as I don't feel I belong due to my interest in "music" and not it's conveyance. Robert Shea PS: Instead of flaming me for reaching my limit and expressing it, how about considering the possibility of actually posting about the way the music makes you feel, or the way it sounds or was constructed or how it fits into the history of the movement. I have read so few posts on this list that actually make me want to go out and hear the releases mentioned, other than some of the thoughful reviews that get posted so infrequently. - westcoast trance fusion - leftcoast electronicool - thumping cascadia - rhythmic pacifica - cerebral beats - head treats - no cheese MAP RECORDS 2542 Guelph Street Vancouver, B.C., Canada V5T 3P5 T: 604-874-5357 F: 604-872-8058 E: mapmusic@portal.ca W: http://www.coming.soon/ acting locally - thinking globally ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
