What a great thread this is! Nice to see a constructive comparison going on
in these days of flames and bitching.
Yeah I agree with all you guys. I love the old stuff, I live for that kind
of music, but I certainly don't think that most idm these days is crap. I
think the best and most interesting stuff these days are things like
Vladislav Delay and Gramm, which are not as approachable as the older
melodic stuff but really are incredibly good. And there _are_ nice melodies
around these days anyway, check out Arovane or Plod. Not much can beat John
Beltran though, it's true.
And yeah, I for one do remember all the awful stuff that was around in '94,
though I'd prefer not to!
Ross.
