I *wish* this list was nothing but album reviews by amateurs. Especially by amateurs. Not musicians reviewing each others work (you carry your own biases into your reviews and it's just not relevant to me), and certainly not "professional" reviewers who are usually either too close to the industry to give an honest, simple response, or too busy suckling at the artist's breast to really say anything worthwhile. Unfortunately, of course, none of this is here anymore. Instead, we get to hit the delete key eight hundred million and two times a day as every new initiate to the list either complains about "the state of idm today" or whines on about what type of toilet paper does Aphex use and to Autechre like to starch their shirts. Personally, I'll bet Squarepusher likes to shower whilst wearing a kilt, and I've heard Freeform really likes chutney, but only on Good Friday. --- Benjamin I Zavodnick <bzavodnick@juno.com> wrote:
