I'm one of the few people who, although I definitely
"get" the minimal techno and the dubby techno stuff,
it just lights absolutely no flame in my belly. Some
of the "gentler" kid-606 stuff is nice, but frankly it
all sounds the same to me. Just not my genre, I
guess.

To my ears, the minimal stuff sounds pretty much all
the same and stagnating as well. I think it has
little to do with stagnation, really, and more to do
with personal preference and "conditioning." To a
certain extent, you *can* make yourself like
something, if you really really want to. I really
wanted to like the new Autechre, but it just doesn't
do anything for me. I kept at it for a while, and
started to get used to it, but for me, I wasn't really
hearing anything more that wasn't there before. And I
*love* Chiastic Slide and LP5.
Really, music isn't really a progression anyway. It
evolves and changes, and our tastes as listeners do as
well, but for the most part it has little, if
anything, to do with intelligence, either in the
listener or the composer.
Oh, and does anyone know who Crunch is? I heard it
might be Bola!
