The link on the apple site is a prime example of what I'm talking about.
I also remember reading in mixer(I think) that Kid606 was a Cali- Aphex
Triplet Phenomenon......is that not hype ?
Furthermore, to say that its just because it's outside the norm, I'm
refering
to it as 'hype' is way off base. I listen to alot of out there music and I
think alot of it deserves alot more attention than its getting. It bothers
me to see stuff like 606 getting mad press and being described as
cutting edge.
It really does all boil down to opinion, and in MY opinion the attention
to Kid 606 isn't warranted.
