would you really compare 'fontana mix' with idm ? it's probably closer to spooky's chaotic culture-collages or the undying electroacoustic scene, if we're thinking of 'what guys today can put out'. and i don't know how 'advanced' it is, aside from that it did advance a good deal away from what people expected of music ; cage might say that it was about as unadvanced as possible, leaning towards bizarre and accidental. i'm a big fan of his thinking, but in terms of music history, i think of him more as a necessary deviant rather than a shining example of what music should be. i'm just checking your namedropping, maybe you already agree with me. .af. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
