top 10 electronic for 2002 (no way I could do 10 idm titles..) I would however consider most of this to be "intelligent", if there's any way I could do that and not seem like a complete prat..
in no particular order:
Scion - Arrange & Process
Boom Bip - Seed to Sun
Sutekh - Incest Live
DHS - Attention Earth People
Machine Drum - Half the Battle
FC Kahuna - Machine Says Yes
Capitol K - Island Row
v/a - Welcome to Psi City
Plaid - P-Brane
v/a - MAS Confusion
with big idm props to Delikatessen's series of 10"s from the last year or so - all manage to perk my ears every single time! Put it out on cd, dammit!!
best idm mix cd: a tie between Ellen Allien - Weiss Mix & Jerry Abstract - Fringe, Annexed, Squared
biggest suprise: Sasha - Airdrawndagger
biggest disappointment: FSOL - the Isness (perhaps I haven't taken the right drugs?)
the Ganz Graf video makes me laugh and clap everytime, but then again I don't get out of Montana much.
best live show: most of my friends say Devine, but I say Mr.Projectile. honourable mentions to Siamese (live dn'b from Seattle - prolly the most percussively jaw-dropping thing I've ever seen, for hours and hours, everytime) and L'usine.
best dj set: Joe Schreiner (from Minneapolis) - groovy, looped-out exp.house @ Bluehouse Camp/BM '02. an impossible joy.
thanks for caring!
