Naw. Napster has nothing to do with it. Mp3 quality sucks anyway. How could
one fall in love affair with resin women? What delight do you expect from
this barren mp3 quality? I hope you just have a period of music fatigue.. 8)
It might happen with any thing in life... you'll be back to it with even
more enthusiasm I'm sure...
..with respect to glitch dsp noise idm... hell yeah! I'm the one to tell
that there's lots of muzak in idm these days and we have to dig into it much
more deepeer to find what we seek...I'm hungry for more melodic stuff now
for sure...I still don't like EP7 in comparison to my utter and complete
love of their previous releases...and if the gems are hard to find, doesn't
it make finding really brilliant stuff even more pleasing? I might be just
too optimistic on that but I do agree with you and have a much bright view
of the situation simultaneously.. 8)
