Me too, and what a thrill it is! You never know what you're going to get
because of the many different styles he touts. But, like you said, since he
brings with his music a part of himself, you always have an idea what it
will be like. When I listen to his music, I often find myself smiling very
wide and thinking of him. Its as if his music paints a portrait of him and
that is something many IDM artists lack (although I don't know if I want
them to have it). When I eagerly opened HAB1 and played it, I said to
myself "uh oh, I'm not much into this tinny jungle thing." But upon 3 of 4
listens, I get the same rush that I get with his other exceptional
recordings. That is not to say that all his recordings are exceptional (I
personally could do without the pop-cheesyness of Donkey Rhurbarb), I just
believe that when he's good, nobody makes me smile from inside like he does.
Beside, the sharp hard bass of Children Talking is enough to make my body
undulate with its own will...

s this facet of James that keeps me going.
And besides, he was THE reason this list was started in the first place. I
think much credit is due to James for bringing this music out of the
darkness, and giving many other artists the chance for exposure. It is his
oddness that makes him a little more marketable than other IDM artists I
believe. After all, that Warner Bros. deal for SAWII was the only one of
its kind (and boy did WB hate that).
