The couple times I've listened to Proem I've thought the same thing. Lots of slow pads and crunchy beats. nothing really stood out to me, even compared to other artists that employ the same thing (like Phonem who even has a similar name). Those other artists seem to put more of their own spin on it. Proem just seems to be going through the motions. Of course, I think his fans would argue that he goes through those motions *really well*. Which is valid -- it's ok to strive for a certain sound that fits well within what people are expecting, and do it really well. There are a lot of people who like that kind of sound and proem hits it pretty dead on. derek -- eggytoast.com : eggtastic.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
