Josh, why do you even listen to IDM if you are so willing to rip any
credibility it has?

As true as this is, it has no wait on what you are about to say in the
following.

As there are sounds you can get out of a synth not found in a guitar.

Uhmmmm! Who was voted artist of the year in Spin magazine, and pretty much
over all? And you think it all came from influences outside of psychedelic
sci-fi. I do recall Thome Yorke stating that one of his top 5 favorite
albums to listen to was Autechre's Ep5.
Everyone is influenced by all kinds of music. Don't steal the credibility
of where it is deserved.

uhm, look at what was produced out of the late 70's, 80's synth pop, where
is this proven true. After Zepplin, AC/DC, The Doors, people started to
get into synth pop, tell me what was so "skilled" about the 80's. The guys
before them, in my opinion where better skilled than what started to come
after them.

it's not the design, it's how you use what you have designed.

So how does this support your arguement, if anything, you just contradicted
yourself.

now you just refutted your last statement. You need to listen to your
music a little more closely.
