i have nothing against minimalism. there's some amazing stuff coming out
of the whole detroit scene, like underground resistance and drexciya, that
is quite minimal yet utterly entrancing. richie's stuff seems like it was
done in 5 minutes. that's bad minimal. good minimal is so complicated
that it seems simple, if you know what i mean.
happy new year to all my fellow idm freaks...
