Yeah, it's possible they'll continue to go through a type of Miles Davis
evolution where they'll lose and acquire admirers with every new release. My
favorite Miles Davis era is the 1965 - 1968 Quintet, but I've learned to
appreciate artists who keep growing and refuse to stay still to placate
fans. Besides, there are way too many artists that are ripping off Ae's old
sound. I've read reviews of new releases on this list descibe a new artist's
work as Amber-era, Garbage-era, or Incunabula-era sounding. Or in the case
of Funkstorung, Tri Repetae-era through Ep7-era sounding =)
The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is when someone on this list
will praise some brand new 12-inch or ep by some new, obscure artist as the
second coming and slam autechre in the same sentence. If you like something
new that you just heard then cool, but let's also have some respect for
artists that have produced quality music over a longer period of time.
