would you really compare 'fontana mix' with idm ? it's probably
closer to spooky's chaotic culture-collages or the undying
electroacoustic scene, if we're thinking of 'what guys today can put
out'. and i don't know how 'advanced' it is, aside from that it did
advance a good deal away from what people expected of music ; cage
might say that it was about as unadvanced as possible, leaning
towards bizarre and accidental. i'm a big fan of his thinking, but
in terms of music history, i think of him more as a necessary deviant
rather than a shining example of what music should be.
i'm just checking your namedropping, maybe you already agree with me.
