that's the thing.. that's why it's being slagged, because it's not rehashing the same ol shite. it's not abstract noise collage shit, it doesn't fit in with the techno lovers; perhaps slagged the same reason the new style of squarepusher is being slagged. leaving comfortable boundaries. yes even abstract noise collage is comfortable boundaries to many. maybe one day freeform will be sought after once people start copying his unique style.. heheh. == _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

So, if I dislike freeform, it's all about politics and musical conservatism? I don't think so. I just don't enjoy what he does that much. Nor do I enjoy SP's new direction, but once again, it's a matter of taste, not politics and "comfort zones." I'm sure you must be one of the most revolutionary music listeners out there, but don't be making blanket statements about ulterior motives at people who don't have any. I appreciate that which complements my imagination, and freeform doesn't. Simple as that. Tom

Don't get the idea that I believe in absolutes regarding art (or that I am trying to be blatantly offensive), but this kind of argument contributes little to the purpose of the list, right? Instead of just telling all of us that one's taste disinclines one to appreciate a recording or artist, why not describe the specific reasons why? As in, "his drum patterns are shite", or "at 1:30 in the 2nd track, the artist veers off into a static-filled hiss that distracts me from my surroundings" or some other such nonsense like that. I realize that we are all busy people and cannot possibly take the time to list all the reasons we dislike certain things, but we can TRY. Perhaps that would do away with a large part of the endless stream of "I like it, you don't you-elitist-pea-brained-poser" dialogue. Yeah, I'll probably get lambasted for this post, but appreciation is the key to our music. If we can't explain why (for at least some tracks), there is no way to indoctrinate new recruits into the IDM army, except for "either you get it or you don't". Then again, maybe it's just my personal taste to like explanations ; ) By the way, can anyone review a couple of the Sons of Silence albums for me? I've got _Silence FM_ and a couple Leaf comp tracks and was wondering how good the rest of their recordings measure up to these. Oh yeah, I "like" Sons of Silence.
