Oh. Well, even there, I really liked Luomo's
Vocalcity, got Weatherall's Hypercity mix CD on the
same label, then download a bunch of Tresor stuff and
tried out samples of the Crane A.K. stuff on force
inc., and got some of the Herbert stuff, but after a
while, I have to say I'm not enamored with the whole
tech house stuff. I mean, it's nice, and it's
certainly better than AE for dancing (for me, anyway),
but it's like jungle to me - a few great things and
the rest all sounds the same once I was introduced to
it.

well, back on the minimal/glitch tip, I guess I'm just
talking about it because I recently heard a lot of
V.Delay stuff, the clicks & cuts stuff, and a few of
monolake's albums, and none of it struck me as worth
having or listening to again. And it all sounded very
similar.

true; i'd agree with that. also, when I first get
into something new, it's like, the first artists I
hear are the best, the ones that I identify with the
"sound" I'm looking for. Then I ask around and get
recommendations for similar stuff, but that's all I
really get - *similar* stuff. Once I've identified a
sound I like, I find that about 90% of the time, I'd
do better to just listen to the original album again
than to seek out new, similar artists, as they are
bound to disappoint me by not being what I was really
looking for.
And it's really just subjective bias.

While we're at it, could someone explain to me which
is better: vinyl or CD?
