Just noticed that most people who sent in lists had a fair amount of US
industrial stuff listed which I thought was interesting - shows how the
IDM readership has really shifted from a UK/European base (when we used
to talk about things like The Orb, Rephlex, A.R.T. and Detroit
influenced techno with only guys like Jon (Drukman) and Greg banging on
about industrial stuff) to now where its more US based. Seem to talk
about more experimental stuff nowadays as well - presumably thats
everyones kind of industrial influences coming through and being into
CD's skipping and wotnot. I used to know almost all the bands/artists
mentioned on IDM a few years back but I certainly don't now.
This shift is no bad thing at all - just something I just noticed.
Detroit techno and ambient stuff doesn't really get a mention any more
but thats due to 313 and Ambient lists forming I guess.
I think I had a point - blame my hangover.
