I don't know. Amber to me is pop. Granted, it's murkier than Plaid but,
for all intents and purposes, it's catchy, hooky, even pretty, like
pop. I know, I know, you've built an entire personality and social life
upon not viewing much of this music as "popular music" but--to
me--that's what it is.
Am I the only one in the room who liked Confield? Do you have to be
able to fuck to it for it to be good? Doesn't anybody see the
brilliance in "Pen Expers"?
I don't know. I came to IDM through experimental, early industrial, and
60s-70s kraut music, not Depeche Mode. Sorry.
