However, others find these "innovative". Who's right?
I've heard a lot of industrial music and I don't think I've heard anything with a more than superficial similarity to the Ventolin mixes. I certainly can't think of more than a handful of industrial records with as much character and bizarre humor. At this point, I'm not as concerned with finding "innovative" music as I am with finding expressive music that moves me. Ventolin and the Basic Channel comp. are both fascinating records that I listen to often. I NEVER pull out Second Annual Report or NON anymore.
