I would be most certainly guilty of pleading for non-warp talk, and the
reasons why are twofold:
1. most of the comments are about their older back cateloge, like artificial
intelligence, or RDJ album. Sure it's relevant but it's not exactly
exciting. Why not discuss Prefuse or Vincent Gallo, or even Anti-pop? At
least they would all count as recient releases...
2. There are so many great people out there doing fantastic music- music you
can hum, and sing, and dance, and think about, and destroy stuff to - that's
it's simply just in bad taste. How many posts have we seen about Atomheart
lately? He's only released an album everyother month for the last 2 years-
about 80% of which is fucking awesome. But maybe that's too obscure, what
about more sacntioned IDM like Bola, String Theory, Team Dyobi or Phonetia?
They all rule. What about people that are well known but a little of the
betten path like Lesser, Elect. Co, and Venetian Snares?
So lets lay off teh AFX worship for a bit and let teh clones fall away for a
little while and chat about what's making us excited right now...
