wow, someone else who likes IDM but also appreciates words in music -- nice to meet you! I absolutely love the fact that Bogdan actually has lyrics. As good as good instrumental music is, there's something completely different and unexplored (by IDM people) in a good _song_... and playing with vocals (ie. bola's mauver and recent funkstorung) is not quite what i'm talking about. -adam -- Adam Piontek [http://www.tcinternet.net/users/damek/] ICQ: 3456339 [damek@earthling.net] ...
