William Orbit dilemma...

idm.9402.gz
hey all, i really want to buy a new disc but my money supply is getting low and i want to make sure my next selection is a good one. first of all, let me preface this by saying that i am very picky about my idm (hardcore is still my preferred music style) and i know that idm varies a lot so help me out to decide here... i've heard a lot of people having orgasms over Willy Orbit but since i've never heard any of his stuff (actually i probably have but not realized it), could someone describe his style to me? comparisons to other artists, description of music texture (very electronic, organic, spacey, dark, etc), and anything else would be appreciated... as for what i like in music, i will be one of the few to admit that i like my techno with a light sugar coating. structure is important too (melody, rhythm, logical tonal progression); for example, i don't really like amorph androg because to me it seems like one large exercise in texture without any meaning or movement. orb, however, has texture, melody, rhythm, the works =). given all this, do you guys think i would like willy? i've already wasted 15 smackers on amorph androg (go ahead and flame me) and i don't have much more money to throw away. maybe i should stick to the mindless hardcore that i know better... ___ (:)====/__/\=(:)(:)============================(:)====================(:) |\| _\_ \ \|\||=| Tai Nguyen |\| email address: |=| |=| /__/\_\ \=||\| Cornell University |=| thn1@cornell.edu |\| |\| / /\ __/\|(:)============================(:)====================(:) |=|/ / /\ \ |=||=| "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, |=| |\/__/ \_\/ |\||\| and statistics." |\| |=\__\/\ \ |=||=| - Mark Twain |=| (:)==\__\/===(:)(:)===================================================(:)
