Besides being environmentally disastrous, gilly's call to "burn the rest of your IDM collection" is awfully blinkered. With little effort, I can think of dozens of artists who equal or surpass anything on RI. Please keep such narrow-minded, extremist thoughts like the above to yourself.

Really, I can't wait to see the first cd that's released with a sticker that says "POST-IDM (Something)" on it. I wonder which label will succumb to the temptation first? - post-neo-jeffism ---- "There is no gang of 'intelligent techno' freaks here who break showroom windows to steal pocket calculators." - Jouni Alkio Jeff Pitrman [cCM] jeff@spof.net http://bling.spof.net

Shit... time to go order more stickers. Maybe for One Piece's record instead.

well narrow-minded? extremist? Possibly. I mean, this is just how impressed I am with the output on RI compared to the level of musical programmng/compositions of many of the artists we discuss on this list. Most of the stuff on RI has NO patience for repetition. Maybe RI impresses me sooo much cuz Uwe hardly listens to electronic music at all. Thus he avoids sounding like other artists. Think of all the Rephlex/Ae clones we've debated about for the last 2-3years???? Trust me, I love many IDM artists, but their attention to detail can't compare IMO. I don't know, maybe I'm hearing things in RI material you are not. To each his own.... g
