Perhaps Carl Craig composed the tune "Neurotic Behavior" for compulsive idm types?? Speaking for myself, I don't really care how something is made. And whether it is new or old doesn't really matter, just as long as it's really good. Originality is important. I usually get annoyed when people try to sound like someone else, because they almost always do a piss poor job of it.

Agreed. Unless you want to start making music.

??? I haven't been blown away by anything in some time. A few pleasant surprises, but that's about it.

Originality is important. I usually get annoyed when people try to sound like someone else, because they almost always do a piss poor job of it. Amen. This reminds me of the following quote (which suggests quite a bit about why I listen to IDM): Karlheinz Stockhausen once told me -- we were in Copenhagen -- "I demand two things from a composer: invention and that he astonish me." John Cage in "Indeterminacy". I loose interest quickly when artists start to repeat themselves, and even more when someone else tries repeating for them. -Ed --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

This reminds me of the Morton Feldman anecdote of a conversation with Stockhausen (which suggests why the former's recordings dwarf the latter's in my personal record collection)- Stock asks Mort "what's yr secret?" to which M replies "I don't try to force anything." S, puzzled, says "not even a little bit?" -rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
