how many other artists out there now have the breadth of 606? hardly any. maybe the press finds it remarkable that rather than find a pigeonhole and squat in it like most producers, he's making sounds that register all over the map. ALL over the map. and i think it's actually pretty RARE that someone on IDM-list praises 606, save for the wise vangaurds like Lance, Andrew Duke, and etc. it's actually the electronic music press that's picking up on him, in particular mags like the Wire. ie: folks that don't really care about 'IDM.' many people on this list seem to be under the mistaken impression that everything 606 has put out is "gabber" or "noise." these people have obviously only heard a smidgeon of his lengthy discography, and need to get informed before they start generalizing about 606 records. -rk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
