so is "IDM" and yet here we all are... ;) which begs the question, why are we still here? i am still here because i believe in IDM as a concept and a mailing list rather than a genre. to be frank, i'm sick of the "IDM sound" as it came to be known. a hundred early- AE or -AFX clones wear down on the ears after awhile. and IMO, minimal is only good if the elements chosen and their placement is absolutely perfect, otherwise it's just unfinished-sounding or boring. on a more positive note, i have to say venetian snares 'detrimentalist' is one of my favorite electronic releases of the year, hell, one of my favorite releases period. adult. just put out a digital-only EP that at least half kicks ass. and i'm highly anticipating the arrival of "halfbreed" by hpc in my mailbox. so, IDM is dead, long live IDM. d. ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at chthonicstreams.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
