Aphex Twin was on the cover of Request magazine also. In case you're not familiar, Request is the glossy, highly-corporate-image-semi-mainstream-alternative music magazine that is distributed through the Musicland record-store chain. Musicland is really a big chain around here, probably the equivelant of Tower in other states, but they don't really have idm. This was extremely surprising to me, because Request magazine is almost more mainstream than Rolling Stone, and here they had an issue devoted to techno. They covered the Milwaukee Drop Bass Network, Aphex Twin, Terrence Mckenna, and other "rave" culture icons. They also had an article titled "Why I Hate Techno..." The underground is now officially mainstream... It's been cooked up and served to a whole new market in our consumer-driven society. Now, your upper-middle-class kids can probably expect to buy Richard James binkies at their favorite local mega-supermarket for their first trip on E... Isn't capatalism great?

This is the month of the Aphex Twin on the cover of every magazine (if you hadn't noticed). But the one I actually shelled out for that had a pretty good article is B-Side.

Something more mainstream than Rolling Stone? That's pretty impressive. (send all flames to rollingstone@echonyc.com)

Terrence is cool, but who let him become a "rave icon"? It's not like DMT is a party drug or anything :) Sigh.

Actually, if teeny boppers want to twist to the new Reload album or sink their head into an Analogue Bubblebath, I say let them... but what's more likely is that Sony will ask Underworld and the Dust Brothers to remix Michael Jackson's next single. Let's NOT start a thread about "underground" and "commercialism". BTW, I just got the Blade Runner soundtrack on CD - and if any of you think that what the current crop of IDM artists is doing is totally unique, listen to this for a little, er, history lesson...

Heheh. Well, I was in class today! A friend bought this CD and we were just listening to it a few hours ago. It's got lots from the movie, and some unreleased material from Vangelis, too. Very nice...and quite moving... -djkc "one more kiss, dear...."
