So it's more that [the style of music discussed by the] IDM [list] has evolved far enough from its origins that people can like the new stuff without liking the originals. Which is fair enough, of course, but still quite interesting to note.
But David, this is exactly what I mean. Many artist have produced albums
I simply adored several years ago. But now a days, even though I listen
to things from all different people, often I find the most interesting
music coming from completly different names - and not the headline
players, or previously inovating artists. Autechre, Orb, Orbital, Aphex,
Prfuse, BOC, Bola, Speedy J... [and countless others] all these people
have left a huge impression on me, but its been year(s) since many of
these artists have done something new again that has stunned me as it
did back then. Often just because the style stagnates, if nothing else.
Only once in a while does an artist make something truely amazing and
then come back years later with something equally amazing again...
several great albums in a row [and then disapearing or loosing the vibe]
are more common than returns [sadly but true, though it needn't be true,
and isn't always true]
those rare musical moments when you can channel something creative AND
connect with large amounts of people are rare momments indeed - and most
of the time harder to achieve in the light of success than in
darkness... simply because it is harder to be the light, in the light,
than in the darkness...
