Anyway, I'm glad you mentioned him, because he is THE PERFECT PROOF of the
fact that this is not about money. I can't really imagine him being richer
than Cylob (us who've been on this list a while knows...) but he is still
doing some of the most brilliant music around. All the Cylob albums in the
world weren't anything against MFA or Spanners.

It's not about "Underground" and "Mainstream" here. Listen to the music, I
was talking about Cylob etc. I mean I like his work but I don't consider it
to be anything else but a pale copy of mr. Richard James', it doesn't
really matters how much money involved. It's proven that you don't have to
have a lot of dough to create good mucis, IT IS ALSO PROVEN that because
you have, you tend to make lousy music because you go with the flow at the
top of the popworld. BUT BJÖRK DOESNT.

You're too much. It's not about good poptunes. It's about as comparable to
spice girls as Coldcut is to King Diamond. That's where the magic lies - A
POPSTAR NOT DOING POPTUNES but cutting edge stuff that I though was
interesting to this list, I thought that I told you that already.

Hmm... There are 2 of us. We're not the same, and I think you have to ask
Erik of his opinion before stuffing us in the same bin.

Didn't mean to, but the reaction I was awaiting was an attack that had to
do with this record not being underground enough, if you know what I mean.
It's known to happen, and I just wanted to try and prevent that. When I
listen to this Björk album, nothing else really matters. When I listen to
my average whatever all I hear is fuckin great music. I dunno where the
difference lies, really....
Anyway, I didn't mean to start a Cylob vs. Björk debate here (sounds stupid
innit?) and I guess I should've picked my words more carefully when I wrote
that piece, any insults created, I'm sorry.
Bottomline:
Go get Homogenic(even you Fresh you'll dig it).
Cheers,
Fe.
