I've heard all this hype on the radio about a guy called Gerald so I checked
it out at the record store... the girl behind the counter said "ooh, this is
really great"... I guess I just didn't get it. Don't know how IDM it is,
but I would suggest checking out Biftek. Anyone else heard of Biftek? I
hadn't until I visited Australia.

Subject: [idm] Lack of good new releases in idm/elm
I've been really disappointed with my recent purchases. Well, not THAT
disappointed, but a lot of them have only been listened to once or twice cuz
that's all they're worth. And I bought most of them because of hype on this
list. Here's the ones I'm speaking specifically of:
- fizzarum - rinsing (mp3.com release)
- funkstorung - appetite (cheap, distasteful vocals maim an otherwise good
album)
- a guy called gerald - essence
- kid606 - down with the scene
- lexaunculpt - double density (who do we love)
- pole 3 (not terrible, but disappointing conisdering the reviews)
- staedtizism (~scape compilation - well, this one's ok actually)
- fax cat. from emusic (only a few good releases, tetsu inoue's ambiant
otaku being the only excellent one)
- schematic cat. (everything is bad except for the devine ep and the
compilations)
I think my last truly exceptional purchase was ovalprocess, lackluster's
container is a close second. Anyway, this is discouraging because I know
that good idm is being released; I just don't know where to find it anymore
apparently. So could anyone point me in the right direction?

P.S. Recommendations not limited to idm (any good ambient albums released
lately? dub?)
