You may get sick of discussing Warp-related stuff here, however... I listen to tons of music. A lot of that is no-name IDM that really sounds too much alike -- Autechre knock-offs, so to speak. It's all good stuff, certainly. But I won't remember any of it 15 minutes later. (For example, someone recommended E*Vax. I found it and listened. It was very cool. Can't recall a damn note.) Today I listened to Prefuse 73's "92 vs 02." I listened a bunch of times and actually found myself humming one of the tracks while working. I almost NEVER do this with no-name IDM because I don't remember any of it. Just when I think Warp is starting to lose their edge, they release stuff like this. Then I remember why it is I started devouring Warp music in the first place. So as tired as you may get of the same old discussions, I don't think they're unwarranted. forcasa __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I agree.. A lot of what I've heard in demo's and promo's from people - it all sounds like people are wannabes... 'I'm the next AE because I use similar processed noises.....' People should ignore what is current and create new sounds... we have the technology ($6m dollar bloke) so why not be inventive? In ambient music, the complexity of sounds is creating new sonic possibilities, so why not IDM?

Hell, the main reason why i did recommend E*Vax is because it slips from the regular trend you all seem to talk about. This "everyone is trying to mimic AE" thing. So, please, can't people just stop whining about others following a style? I mean if AE's style was the way i could express myself musically (fortunately, it aint), i WOULD do things the AE way. And i do advise everybody to do the same, when possible. Who cares if others did it already? As long as you can express yourself the way YOU want it, its all good. Am i that wrong? Calling people wannabes is basically telling them the way they choose to express what they feel, SUCKS. And whoever says that, never did music themselves. Remember boc's quote where they said something similar to: "we're glad people use us as inspiration. at least it means we did something that changed them inside". This is exactly how i feel.

I guess what pisses me off the most is when people tell other people what to talk about and what NOT to talk about. An angry army of 5,000 Autechre clones can't measure up to that shit. forcasa __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
