I don't really have much interest in opening this can of worms. Gilly posted on something that was already over, just because he doesn't read IDM very often. I wouldn't call it music snobbery at all. And no one said that artists only have a limited time in which they are cool. But almost everyone does start to go down hill at least sometime in their career. Pink Floyd, Eno, Bowie, etc., etc., etc. It's not that Aphex Twin can't do good innovative stuff he just chooses not to. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
