Yeah, I don't normally have a lot to say on here but I'm with Jason/ Donna
there. I think it's both hilarious and sad that a genre as young as IDM
already has as many cliches as good old "rockinrolen" as Svin calls it ever
did. The Amen break's now the Bo Diddley riff of electronic music, if y'all
know what I mean. There's too many people out there making the electronic
equivalent of the Steve Miller Band (read: coservative,
middle-of-the-road...) and/ or the soundtrack to the imaginary movie up
their arses. "Sophisticated" to him maybe; so often bores me to tears. I
respect Boards Of Canada and that kind of thing even if I don't particularly
like it, but not all those BOC imitators. And the only truly exciting/
interesting music comes from people like Donna Summer and others like him
who have a broad appreciation of all kinds of music (including
"rockinrolen") and record collections that stretch back further than the
last twelve or so years. I think it's particularly funny/ ironic that I'm
reading this post now, considering my copy of the new Donna Summer 7" (with
its David Bowie/ Iggy Pop track; two legends of "rockinrolen") just arrived
in the mail today and not surprisingly it's brilliant.
