Partially because a lot of the people that got into this stuff years ago are now producing stuff/running labels. The eBay ads don't bother me at all because I know that I can usually trust the people on here who are selling stuff, so it's a good way to come by some good music. The other reason that this list seems like all advertisements is that very few people actually have discussions about the music itself. In fact, if anything this list seems to be more of a "What's going on in X this weekend because I'm going to be there" list. Same rules apply. Delete what doesn't interest you, start interesting discussion about music if you want to increase the signal/noise. New Hawk and a Hacksaw, while not IDM, is a good listen. At least after the first two tracks it is. New Books, also not so IDM, is incredible. I would never have heard of either of these releases if I hadn't gotten into this type of music, though, so that's how it all comes together. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
