that was me, hi adam yeah, richard devine does have melody in his work, and most of it has some sort of easily recognizeable melody. at least 2 of the tracks on the ischemic folks compilation, along with the lily of the valley cd, show off his ability to use melody. i guess i was meaning more that there was a distinct *lack* of melody in his music.. not meaning that it's not there, but that the rhythm gets a lot more attention. of course, this keeps the melodies simple, which often work best in tracks that have rather complex rhythms. or maybe it's just that, in comparison to other recent idm acts, when you think melody, you don't think richard devine. cheers :D /derek - - - - - Alice could not help her lips curing up into a smile as she began: "Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too! I never saw one alive before!" "Well, now that we HAVE seen each other," said the Unicorn, "if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you. Is that a bargain?" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
