actually, to the mainstream, the vocal-free and faceless nature of techno in the early 90's did make it seem strange and forbidding.

i can kind of see that. there is a very "mad scientist" side to a lot of IDM, and yet i see hipsters filling rooms to listen to this music.

i'm not sure what the original person meant, but i was thinking the other way around, like the use of pitch-shifted rap vocals in kid606 and t. raumschmiere tracks. but that's been a hardcore techno thing for years now. i think there's no reaason to worry about any of this. it's kind of like in comic books and sci-fi, thinking going back in time will alter history. instead it just creates an alternate reality where things happen differently. idm with vocals over here, instrumental over there. pure glitches'n'beats in this bin, melodic stuff in that one. laptops only or guitars in the mix. more choices for all. d. d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
