Yeah kelley, but you're not saying that the new stuff should be like the old stuff. You know what you like; you know what you're looking for. You're not buying new releases under the assumption that it's going to sound like older stuff. You're wary of new releases because you *know* they probably don't sound like what you're looking for. You don't buy the newest Autechre thinking it'll sound like old Stasis and then get all pissed when it doesn't, right? You already know that it's something you probably don't like, and just don't buy it. It's one thing to say "this is the type of music I like, and this album doesn't sound like that, so I don't like it," and a completely different thing to say "i like this type of music, and this artist doesn't make it [anymore], therefore this artist's music is complete shit and no one else should buy it because my opinion qualifies for everyone!" derek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
