basically if you like orbital over squarepusher you are a boring person by nature you like predictable safe music,you like to hear a limited amount of new tracks and you like to hear the SAME tracks performed everytime you go see a gig with slight variations,this is fine you were born this way and probably can't change or understand what all that noise is about.please don't worry,please,you're beautiful, e v e r y t h i n g i s g o i n g t o b e j u s t f i n e . butcherd.d.claims

Not as boring as people who think they know what kind of person I am, "by nature," based on my taste in music. Are people who like Italian food more boring than people who like Mexican food?

I have to keep reminding myself, Orbital's music is predictable, but music that always goes "cheesy bit, mad drums, repeat cheesy bit" isn't. Do you expect, by claiming that Orbital's music is "safe," that anyone will actually believe that there's anything dangerous about Squarepusher?

I stepped on a Squarepusher CD, slipped and hurt my bummie.

I guess that's a predictable assumption. :-) Not accurate though. I happen to think Orbital's newest album is infinately more rewarding listening than Squarepusher's ...so let's take a little trip through my music collection to see how "safe" and "predictable" my musical tastes are: Ummm...most of the Rephlex catalog (;-)....Nurse With Wound and United Daries catalog, Whitehouse...well, maybe they are predictable..but certainly not "safe" :-) The Fax catalog, Skam catalog, Rather Interesting catalog, Esplendor Geometrico <wink> (people who have heard EG's early work circa 1982 and how similar some of it sounds to some Aphex Twin will get it), ART label, Emissions Audio Output catalog, and loads more "safe" and "predictable" music...hehehe Cheers.
