thanks very much for this sean ... and in a heart-warming display of cooperation, let me also give due respect to sean's fantastic urbansounds site ... http://www.urbansounds.com/ i'm sure most of you are aware of it ... but it is a fantastically-produced site with fantastic content. and RE the sound samples, we accept reviews from reviewers all over the world (well, all over the internet. everyone is welcome to submit reviews. if they're well-written about music someone believes in, then we're likely to publish it. that's the only criteria). not everyone's got the capability to scan sleeves and grab sounds (yet) though they can email us reviews ... so, occasionally the reviews are published without image/sound, er, adornment ... but we do try - by far the majority of motion reviews have sounds. a sound sample is worth a thousand words? cheers, dan. ---+ dan hill [state51] ---+ new reviews on motion [18.2.99]: < the soul of klezmer | c-pij | 310| pole | nigel bunn | autechre | roscoe mitchell > http://motion.state51.co.uk/ +---

i'm sure this was just a friendly backslap to sean's involvement, but in light of recent threads it should be noted that urbansounds was started by marie kacmarek (a woman). no need to perpetuate the idm-as-boy-toy any more than is necessary to generate a stereotype! i do agree, however, that we will have to settle on a stereotype for rolling stone to take a REAL interest in this music, so perhaps i should just shut up.
