That CD is a time machine. I listen to it only semi-regularly, but every
time I do I get the urge to go to the nearest music store and buy all the
stuff on there...then I have to look over the wall of music to reassure
myself that I do in fact own everything that was ownable from that
series...I think...Perhaps not...And I will buy another copy of Incunabula
just to be on the safe side...(And only recently did I discover the
Basscadet EP on CD? Was this always available?) Some fool stole my Polygon
Window CD once. ONCE! Now, I hide my replacement copy in the same strongbox
as my Quoth CD single. I will stab (with mechanical pencil) any hands that
reach for it.
Dated? Hmm. One thing I have noticed about IDM is that if it sounds dated,
it's in bad form. That's only my opinion, of course, but really, the only
thing that tells me some music was from year X is the writing on the
packaging most of the time...My answer to your question then is..."No...It
does not sound dated to me. In fact, I frequently forget that I've had the
CD for a freaking decade or so." (Then again, I also forget that I've been
listening to this sort of music since the 1980s and not just since Plaid CDs
started being made (was that yesterday?), that I'm no longer 25 and all
sorts of other more or less important things.)
