not enough. i guess, like lance said, they're here, just don't post much. brap, puckered1, greg clow and lance are the only regs from the year or so back who still post regularly. gonzi, robert merlak, and jeff davis still appear occasionally. and i don't think franz, aaron s gregory, jim@vvm, grant horne, and countless others are even on the list anymore. and even aran hardly posts anymore. too many newbies... look what you started James Bernard (four or five epic unsub announcement posts followed after his almost a year ago.. diskono, brian, etc.) glad to see at least one is back! mlt. ml/vn// [o{st}m.rec]

well, let's see...i subbed to idm in late '95 (?). i think i've seen every possible topic come up two or three times (no, i won't name names; i'd rather not see them again). one thing about this list, though, especially in comparison to other lists i've been on: we've never really had mass exodi (exoduses?). i suppose that means something. cleen "did you forget" dubventure '96 * #### a disturbance in a system. #### laerm. @voicenet.com ##:# see the stars, they're shining bright/everything's alright tonight

well - i'm not really reprazentin' the tru old skool as i wasn't on all the way "back in the day" (i only joined in '93). back in the "olden days", dave at ear-rational was "'da man", CDR was some democratic republic in czechoslovakia and samples were traded as *.au's rather than MP3's. this list has seen highs , lows, spats and blows; most of them entertaining if not informative. i personally think a nice influx of new folks is great, as i'm hearing about new and experimental stuff that i never would hear about otherwise. i don't post as much anymore because i try not to exhaust electrons unless i have something to say. just getting old and farty i guess. but i promise, i'm still listening. np: keith jarrett : live peeeeeeeeeece, -- Jeff Davis pHlow@earthlink.net P:518.475.5042 F:518.475.5657 ICQ:17028671 pHlow.linx: home.earthlink.net/~phlow/ Bochum Welt: www.bochumwelt.com Rotator Locator: hyperreal.org/music/rotator/

this is more like it. the music industry critiquing a mailing list. how about these: "i subbed to that idm, me. what a waste of money on 'phone calls and isp charges. i wish i'd have saved up for a new synth or something." - mr a. fextwin, cornwall. "why don't you bastards talk about records that we can all actually buy and hear. what about some easily available domestic releases on big labels then. you might as well be goin' on about nothing" - mr trench warfare, new orleans. ... y'get the idea. -martin

Hey I'm here! And have been for at least 3 years. So there! Not that I ever post much. Erm OK. Aless - sorry here's one Englishman who's more than happy to diss Fabio. Piss weak tunage and repulsively full of himself on the radio. Grooverider on the other hand I like... For some jungle that doesn't display the same tired old twotechsteppin formula of late try Prisoners Of Technology on FreshKutt - its groovy! Recent acquisitions FatCat006 v/vm & Third Eye foundation. Its a grower. I've been getting more into abstract wierdshit of late - And this one certainly treads the line between unlistenable distortion and prettiness. Particularly like the song titles on the v/vm side. Oh you guys... Irresitable Force - Nepalise Bliss. This one is Ace - it feels chill, but it sounds loud - it must be the squelch swells that do it - very nice downtempo/uptempo synthfest. Must purchase that album soon as. Blow your head clean off. Mos Def Kweli rawkus blokes - Body Rock. It sure does Mos Def, are you ready to rock the mic? I think I might be Q-Tip, old chap. Some hip hop on Blue planet with a vibert mix. Why do I buy hip hop singles - I mean instrumental version - radio version - Bugger off! Give me some mixes or some new songs you slackdogs. Merci. Nice tune though Vibert does the opposite to what you'd expect and strips it down taking the funky tunes out and leaving just the breaks and the bass. Unless they got the label the wrong way round... latersAndrewC.
