I've noticed that boc seems to form a connection with people that most of the other idm artists don't. I think it's relative simplicity works well for people into more pop oriented music, and the overall complexity of the layers of sounds intrigues those who might otherwise dismiss electronic music. IE - after spending a wild night last weekend chilling out with all my crusty-punk(hardcore listeners, dystopia, the locust, etc. etc.) friends, one of them stormed up into my friend matt's car and demanded he make him a tape of "that stuff i liked" before he trainhopped to louisiana.. that stuff turned out to be boards. cdin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
