Orbital was the top in the IDM poll. This is a least common
denominator. Most people on this list have probably purchased it.
Not everyone is into the Rephlex shtuff or the Drum 'n Bass. I
personally don't have access to SKAM releases. Not everyone has
access to import shtuff. Everyone does have access to the Orbital
albumn. Everyone wants to put their opinion in the IDM poll. It's a
least common denominator, and it's a damn fine albumn. Comments are
unwelcome.
Must we have this popularization of electronica discourse yet again?
Some people think that popularization is going to be bad, others
don't. It's going to happen. This subject is religion at this
stage in the game. Comments are also unwelcome. May we please kill
it.
This leads to the state of idm list. It seems that every few monthes
we get these same threads:
Popularization of Electronica
Women and IDM
Is Jungle a rascist term
State of the idm list
etc.
It seems that during these periods that the stores are strangely
barren of new releases. There weren't many new releases around the
Holiday season. Hopefully will get a blizzard new releases soon and
these threads will die away, as we discuss the music.
As always, there is absolutely no need to respond to this.
Love,
Brian
