I remember when In Sides won best of 1996 on the IDM poll. Many folks were
seriously pissed off. Writing about them to this list still make me
uncomfortable. I miss them a lot. Some artists (Ae for example) seem to
ceaselessly generate new releases. The Hartnolls seem to take the 1
album/(no singles)/3 years vacation in the south of France approach.
Oh well.
At this point Orbital have joined a small but growing list of artists whose
next great album will probably be made my someone else. I mean the next
Global Communication release...if its a whole new sound, well, how will it
ever take us to those places to which 76:14 transported us? If GC decides to
pillage its own vaults, we'll have a historical curiosity.
I know this is more about how _I've_ changed than GC. (You know: "You can
never go home again," or "You can't step in the same river twice.") The
thing about UFOrb/76:14/Woob 1 is that, (for me at least) they were new,
surprising AND good. (Actually, many of my favourite releases also start out
being a little bit scary, the first time I heard UFOrb, a dj was playing the
whole album through and I had to turn it off cuz it was freaking me out.)
Chuckle if you must.
Here's my list of artists I miss.
Any suggestions as to whom I should look for a replacement fix are
appreciated.
1. Orbital
2. Woob (no, Journeyman is not the same)
3. GC
