Re: Jesse's U2 idm message on his brother's E-mail address and the subsequent
barrage of criticism that has ensued.
I'd much read a heartfelt and justified opinion about a pop album with techno
references on the IDM list than have to read one more damn trainspotting post
(Hey, I get most of the references too, but I didn't have to be a supreme
saddo and waste everyone's time with it) or read the attemptedly humorous
responses to Aphex's questions about people's sexual preferences. (Was that
IDM?)
The whole point of this list, I thought, was to talk about music with IDM
reference points, no matter how slim they might be. Isn't it important if a
pop band is beginning to borrow from techno? Why doesn't anyone talk about
what that means (although one person did talk about Flood, and people have
talked about the subject in the past.)
I know I'm attracted to IDM because its a music whose makers seem open-minded
and experimental. What irony of its listeners aren't.
