In fact, I don't see a much difference between it and the new one, either in sound quality or compositional style. And you should know that I myself am an audio engineer and a sort of musicologist and I listen to these releases very carefully. >> Okay, Im glad you like the cd, and it amazes me that you like it, and also disturbs me. I am also an audio engineer, and one who works hard on his music and has lots of experience (5 years of composing Techno and IDM, 3 years of choir when I was young, and 2 years of violin.. among other things.. and I have played at at least 8 live gigs with at least 1000 people at 2-3 of them watching me and I have gotten lots of good compliments on my music, the older stuff of which is on mp3.com/manicdetroit). So, basically what I am saying is that I know what I am talking about when it comes to music. I think it is wonderful if Datachi loves his own music, and I don't look down upon him at all for making the kind of music he does. But if you look at music in the way you do, then what makes this music good other than its originality.. I could make a CD that sounds like shit and is totally original, there is no difficulty at all in doing that, but will a record lable sign me on that note? FUCK no, and will I get recognition, FUCK no, and will I get a review that says I made the best CD, FUCK NO. What about the GOOD artists who can make a melody that can make you feel emotions, ISNT THAT WHAT MUSIC IS ABOUT??? HUH? Also, the CD doesn't even have much stuff that you can call music on it at all, ... he only plays notes in maybe 3 of the tracks on the CD. I can tell that there wasn't much work put into this.. And it wasn't well thought out at all. His second CD did differ much from this CD, he didn't record it badly, and there was less distortion, and there was NOTES in every SONG.. and the songs progressed into things.. in short it was real MUSIC. you need mental help if you truly think this album is the best ever.. and please keep far away from me if you do. nick www.manicdetroit.com www.8bitpeoples.com www.mp3.com/manicdetroit --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
