hardcore "techno" you mean. i assumed in this context you meant that. normally when someone says hardcore i think of hardcore punk.

fair enough. i'd assumed it was a continuation of harsher forms of techno that arose as ecstasy began to contain more amphetemines (and even heroin). as a result, many techno clubs got meaner and uglier, so did the music. that was what i heard anyway. i wasn't at those clubs, so i don't know.

i actually dislike a lot of jungle and breakbeat and related stuff, but the other genres it's influenced and splintered into have been really interesting.

in addition to the aphex connection, i actually heard autechre's 'amber' on cassette(!) in a car back in '94 and really liked it but forgot about it for the next 7 years.

it depends on who you talk to. some stuff transcends age and generations blur. X or Y? who gives a rats' arse.

that's probably true. *someone* must be buying all those apoptygma berzerk and wumpscut CDs. not i. it also goes to show the narrowness of anyone who is a "self-described" follower of a particular genre or subcluture and little (if anything) else. d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
