This isn't so much that he gets attention outside the IDM ranks as so much
that there is kinda a 606 media saturation going on. The press is looking
for a new Aphex Twin. There's alot of other artists out there that are
equally
worthy of coverage that aren't getting it. Where's the interview in URB
with Proem ? or the 3 page feature on L'Lusine ?
For the record. I'm starting to to warm up to some of the kid 606 stuff.

I think a comment like that is absolute bullshit. Just because there is a
bit
of dis-agreement and disention about the popular opinion of an artist does
not mean that the reputation of that list is trashed. There are about 1000
people on this list and with that 1000 opinions to go along. Not every
review
is going to be a glowing one, and thats a good thing!
