I'm getting really fucking tired of this attitude which that interview in the new
issue of URB is a good example of where they treat 606 as if his music is beyond
critique and is somehow innately good or something. Anyone criticizing it must be
some naive, PC moron who doesn't "get it". Look, there's not much to get. It's rather
dumb music.
There have been other IDM artists (oh yeah, don't call 606 IDM) who have gotten
attention outside of the scene (Aphex, duh) and no one has any problems with that.
The reasons for my 606 flaming are more personal and I won't go into that on the
list, but I'll say that they're not caused by jealousy or fear that he's exposing IDM
to the evil world outside or because his music offends me or that I don't get his
music. I think some of music is OK. I do think he's creating a lot of bad karma
though.

Having influences is terrible isn't it ? Every artist should reinvent the wheel.
