Damn, when did you hear me dis Cajmere or Motorbass? =) Ok, not as jackin'
as the GV stuff, or as quirky/funky/original as Motorbass, but I daresay
it's deeper - on a late morning vibe. All my opinion, of course. From what
I've heard, Tom & Mark ape styles very well - they tend to understand the
essence of a genre pretty easily. What they do doesn't tend to push that
genre forward, at least in the non ambient/IDM stuff they've done, but what
they do is usually an excellent example of that genre - look at the NY NY
Secret Ingredients record - straight up wild pitch style. No better than
Pierre, but not bad. So in that sense, maybe it is a bit formulaic, but I
don't think it's crap. And it's generally better than most who try and
genre-hop - maybe I'm giving them a little extra credit for breadth.
Why not talk about house music, at least we're discussing music, which
hasn't seemed to be the focus of the list lately...I think everyone on the
list could use to at least listen to the I:Cube album.
