What is it with some people on this list that feel an artist is just putting out records to fuck with their audience to see if they'll buy/like something that's intended as a piss-take. This came up in the past with aphex's windowlicker -- was it just a piss-take? Was he fucking with the 1000 people on the idm list? Who the hell is in their right mind to think that artists such as autechre or aphex (to cite recent examples) give a fuck what people on this list think? The music is not made just for us, its made for everybody. Whether or not you enjoy it is the important thing, and if you don't like Confield, consider this: isn't it just a bit paranoid to think that autechre is just "having a laugh at everyone who thinks this record is cool" (to quote teardropb) ? I don't think they'd release a record they weren't happy with. What a waste of time and money it would be to do so. --- A: "Yeah, I listened to Music for Airports...not that impressive. Track 1 is just some piano loops with delay..." B: "Just a lot of...Good Lord, man, did you listen to the NOTES?!" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
