if this list represents IDM, then it most definitely sucks. Why must
people feel the need to attack others who happen to mention something
they aren't into? Remember, we are all strangers from around the world
and maybe raves are cooler where they are than the ones you have been
to. Try to be tolerant of others but I will comment that at all the
raves I have been to, I have never heard any IDM, more like house,
trance, goa etc... so really raves are not a relavant topic here, as
this really isn't a generic "electronica" list, but a list for
experimental music. But, on the issue of PLUR, whether or not it is a
cheap slogan for a pmpous clique of young druggies, or the battle cry of
a noble rebellion of moral saviors, it is still a cool concept. Who
coulcn't use a little more peace, love, unity and respect in their
lives??? The only problem I have with it is the "unity" part, because
"unity" usually ironically implies factioning, in that it means "unity
against the others" others being the non-ravers I guess... Well, I
could be wrong, but how about talking about tangerine dream or kraftwerk
or eno or some other roots of IDM suff or other more important
stuff???? Oh, by the way, there is a band called SouthPacific which
combines IDM and rock in a kind of slowdivish way and they are awesome
PEACE OUT HOMIES....
