So if for example Squarepusher is supporting killing Croatians, Jews, Brits or blah bla... you wouldn't buy his records & CDs and wouldn't listen to his music. That's total B.S. !!! First of all I really care only about person's music, he can be Croatian, lesbian, baseball player, necrofil, child raper, ... anything, just name it since he is wiriting brilliant music. It's really that simple, if you love music you don't care about persona of certain music maker. It doesn't matter if Tom J even makes his music, I don't give a fuck about him and his haircut, I just love his music... and that's what it is all about ! bye rob ---> Croatian ripper np: "com.2" phthalocyanine ---> the Croatian killers :-)

that's a pretty sad viewpoint. you've got to realize that by buying people's music you're directly supporting them and any ideologies they posess. would you really want your money going to someone who supports the killing of Jews? would you buy a neo-Nazi techno compilation because it had _cool_ beats? i hope not. --- : wells oliver / s0ewoliv@titan.vcu : http://mute.simplenet.com

That's why you buy them used, so your money doesn't go to support such things :) Seriously though, I haven't heard much talk of paul shutze around here and as far as I'm concerned he writes some brilliant stuff. I started out with The Rapture of Metals, which is the second disc in the New Maps of Hell "series". Very nice (dare I say) "ambient". I'll give it a listen and maybe post a review. After hearing this disc I had to investigate, so I picked up New Maps of Hell (also very good) and Site Anubis. I cannot recommend Site Anubis enough! I beleive that it is a series of live sessions splice together after the fact. Very nice jazzy (dare I say it again) "ambient". If I could describe music, I would, but words fail me! I must write when it is fresh in my mind. I also picked up some in his "deux ex machina" series.. hasn't quite grabbed me in the same way, but they're growing on me. I saw an interview with him in Outburn magazine as well, maybe I'll post it.. --brett On Wed, 11 February 1998, at 12:35:51, wells wrote:
