The "Post Art" ep itself is a great release, but they really could've left that "hidden" track off the cd version. As far as Funkstorung goes, I can't say I've really enjoyed the full-lengths they've released. IMHO, something is lacking from them that's there in the earlier ep's. i0 _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

left that "hidden" track off the cd version. Disagree, I think it's the best track from that cd. Haven't heard it in a while, but the cd as a whole is decent, but I still prefer the Appetite.. record.

Isn't the no-so-hidden track one of the previous tracks played at 44 instead of 33? I think the 12" version was made to be played at either speed.

I really like the 12" but can't stand the CD. Mostly because the whole CD is played at the same speed, whereas on the vinyl, it's obvious that you have to switch the speed in between the songs. It just sounds wrong otherwise. Sucks that the CD is overflowing the bins in a lot of stores yet the vinyl is nigh-impossible to track down. derek -- eggytoast.com -------------- commerce soon: eggtastic.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

okay, it's anecdote time ;) I found the 12" a couple of years ago in a shop in Brussels (BCM). They had 4 copies left that where in the sales bin (even 2 on white vinyl !). Still mad at myself because I only bought one copy (on regular black vinyl) back then .... bart www.freestylegrooves.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I guess that's where the disconnect in our preferences occurs, since Appetite For Discstruction was very flat sounding to me. All a matter of taste. Maybe we can start and offshoot of the current iteration of the "old Autechre vs. new Autechre" thread based around Funkstorung. i0 _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Well it's all a matter of imagination, isn't it? It's one of the things that sets idm apart from other genres, the total obsession with new ideas, new sounds, new rhythms, stuff that you've never heard before. It is technological music because it has been new technology which has been driving the new ideas, opening up sonic opportunities that were never possible before. The crucial component of this though is the human imagination - the technology has created new opportunities, but without imagination there is nothing to turn those new opportunities into results, nothing to stitch those new sounds into new music. Unfortunately imagination is a limited resource, like entropy, randomness - and this is probably because imagination and entropy are closely related. People have limited stocks of it, and eventually, through use or through age, it begins to run low. Sometimes the music gets samey and uninteresting. The artist loses their edge. Sometimes, in an attempt to compensate, the artist tries to compensate by finding external sources of entropy - like Autechre's move towards computer-generated music. The trouble is that computers just aren't as good at imagining things as humans are... not yet, anyway. -- marm (now returning you to your normal thread of consciousness) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
