i disagree. process may be interesting, but ultimately, it is the end product which succeeds or fails. i don't care if the new Mariah Carey album was made with the most complex banality-modelling software conceivable, i'm still not going to listen to it. c. .. . . .. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

i didn't say it was rubbish. what i said was, quote frankly, i do think that 'Anima' is interesting on a certain level, it reminds me of Brian Eno in a certain way, and i do like the way the beat sorta dis-integrates and becomes quite chaotic, but never really completely falls apart. unquote.

i didn't think that one was rubbish either. but it wasn't the process that interested me. the "bigger picture of the processing" may indeed raise my interest in a given piece of work, but it alone won't raise my enjoyment of it.

that was called an analogy, it was also a joke. apparently you didn't get either. c. . .. .. . . --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
