You say "total bollocks". But "total" is such an absolute term. How can you be so sure that the Zeps and the Sabs don't assist in the appreciation of modern music if you don't know who they are. :-) I for example appreciate just how crap the Sabs are and it helps me appreciate just how lucky I am not to have been born 20 years earlier than I was. :-) -- Q-Force qforce@holon.net http://www.holon.net/qforce/

Look - I'm glad you put the smiley, so I don't know for sure how serious your statement is, but I for one was born 20 years earlier (than somebody who's 20 years younger than me, I guess) and having grown up with LSD inspired music, witnessed prog rock, seen the emergence of ambient and experimental techno way back, I can only say this has been a worthwhile, constantly evolving and growing experience, rather than just falling into the deep end head first. Can you guys who sign off with words like "respect" actually begin to understand the meaning of "respect" ? Every new genre uses building blocks of what's come before them. So spending the odd hour listening to 'classics' can do no harm and you can bet your bottom dollar that those who are making the music we are listening to, have also drawn from their predecessors' body of work. Just listen to the samples - where are some of them coming from? Aphex Twin, in his current Top 10, lists Erik Satie's "Gymnopedies" - go on, find it, hear it, understand it and increase and deepen your own enjoyment of music. I mean : hello hello... how many of you know that Messrs. Page & Plant (aka. Led Zeppelin) had a monster of a hit with a track titled "Black Dog" ? Not relevant to IDM? Do we ever discuss Black Dog around here? Co-incidence? Maybe... Mutter mutter, mumble mumble. G'bye from the African jungle... I * "Incomplete without surface noise" - Autechre
