All well said, Irene; I agree completely about all
this reviewer-reviewing nonsense.
Also, just cuz we prefer the IDM goodness doesn't mean
we all have to hate the "other" stuff ;)
I was watching Black Adder II on BBC-America last
night, and this commercial came on for one of those
TV-only CD compilations. This one was called "Pulse",
and it was a compilation of (early) 90's techno dance
music. I can't remember what was on it (mostly cheezy
techno that everyone has heard at least once or twice
- most of it appears on the soundtrack to "A Night At
The Roxbury"), but when it was playing, I realized
that this stuff was pretty good for what it was, and I
would totally get down to it if I went out and heard
it live/DJ'd somewhere.
