I think its just that people hold warp up as a bastion of "IDM", and perhaps an indicator of the viability of the genre (as if it were one) overall. I don't think that way myself, but alot of people seem to. As a music listener, one of the great things is you can listen to whatever you want and pick and choose rather than relying on label loyalty. Different labels all over put out good stuff...theres no need to rely on just one or a few, you know? I think there definitely has been a big movement of "interesting electronic music" artists into blurring genres and broadening the boundaries in the past several years in many areas, in hiphop, indie rock, "electroclash", pop etc... It seems like warp is trying to run with those kind of possibilities (good or bad) rather than rehash what they're known for. - cutups --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
