i like seeing goa up on this list, as many of its practitioners definitely
use their technologies quite inteligently <i>and</i>make people dance! (even
if the whole pseudo spiritual western apropriation of eastern culter and
mysticism thing is mad annoying)...but i wonder, WHY DOES SIMON POSFORD GET
NO RESPECT? imo, he's a synthesist on par with the best idm makers (for
those who don't know, posford's the man behind acts like shpongle, the
twisted label stuff, hallucinogen and dementertainment stuff). he's been
using techniques such as granular synthesis, formant filters and such for
years now, and without any of the sometimes slightly offputting
techno-fetishistiky indulgences found in many idm experiments with such
technologies...the fact is that he just uses these techniques to make
original, evocative melodies, even if they don't always aim to shake our
conception of western muzak on its head...anyone know of any other musicians
in other generes (house would be cool:) who stick firmly within their genre
while expanding it greatly through the use of advanced synthesis techniques?

np: loop of joshua redman being tweaked through the steinberg grm plugins...

They also had a release in 99 and 00. I looked them up on Cdnow, and they
have tunes from each albulm to listen to and liked their latest the best.
BTW why does Goa get such a bad rap. I've only been to one goa party before
but as far as IDMers' lust for creative timbres goa's gott'em, the only part
that gets annoying is when there's a really fast 909 kick for about 30 min
before you hear something good. I really like the juno reactor "bible of
dreams" and FSOL gets played alot at goa parties as well as coil.
Yes there is A LOT of crap goa, but the good stuff has really made my ears
swell and my mind flip. Anyway just wish I knew what the good stuff I heard
that night was. Anyone here go to that party in Ashville Nc first semester?
