I can't believe anybody tried to figure out the identity of an artist by
analyzing the handwriting style of the cd artwork. Unbelievable.

Warp aren't the only ones. I listened through the Gimmik cd, the Crunch cd
and Quench's "A Journey Through Electronix" yesterday and I found all three
to be indistinctive and interchangeable. In other words, they all sound
exactly alike. And I dunno how much crack that guy from Funkstorung was
smoking, but the Crunch cd is run-of-the-mill, standard faire idm.
Now don't get me wrong- I like all those albums, but it seems like it's
getting to a point in the entire genre is starting to get stuck in the rut
of having a trademark or expected sound, much like grunge did in the mid
90's (like when Soundgarden released basically the same album four different
times, realized there was no future in it and imploded.)
Hopefully Autechre blows the doors off the entire scene with their new
album. Or Kid 606. Or somebody. Hell, right now would be the perfect time
for a new Aphex album, wouldn't it?
