With all due respect, sir:
I hardly see how my original post -- a dialogue about
other forms of art that keep within the same artistic
vein as IDM -- is off topic. I was not trying to
start an unrelated debate; one would think comparative
discussion would be of interest to some here.
At the risk of offending the IDM Gestapo, I see how
you are trying to keep the list uncluttered and
on-topic, but you defeat your own purpose when you
attack a dialogue such as this. (Not to mention
-adding- to the irrelevent traffic on the IDM list
with a negative comment of your own.)
What of. . .
. . .Lance's oft-repeated Inaudible Reminders (I do
not tune into his webcast; should his e-mails be
cluttering the list?)
. . .frequent discussions of the KLF (hardly an IDM
group despite "Chill Out")
. . .a dicussion not too long ago about Bjork in the
soundtrack of "Being John Malkovich". (Not an IDM
artist, not an IDM film.)
The point is, -all- of these conversations belong on
the list because, in one way or another, they are of
interest to the people here. If my original e-mail is
of no interest, -you- do not need to tell me not to
post it -- the list members as a whole will make that
decision by not responding to it.
With apologies to the list for further cluttering
their e-mail boxes with this drivel, let's keep free
and open dialogue on the IDM list. Further flames &
commentary can be sent to me privately.
Best regards,
Jeffrey Gordon
