I was at work, listenig to In Sides, "The Box" to be precise, and a man
came up to me, one I had never talked to before to tell me that the music I
was listening to was beautiful. This led to many other dropping by my cube
to enquire about what music I had on. Now I listen to allot of techno/IDM
stuff at work, and no other artist has ellicited any reaction from the
others I work at. They hate techno, yet embraced the entirety of In Sides
becuase of it's beauty. I fully agree, it's layers, message, and textures
all flow so nicely, while maintaing a steady driving beat. Now, on a more
creative note becuase I am always looking for CDs ---
Can anyone on this list post CDs that they feel are ON PAR, aka JUST AS
GOOD if not better (cringe.. ) then In Sides, please do. Opinions appreciated.
