Hmmm...I don't know there are some pretty funky italian dishes. More
like someone who prefers fish sticks to sashimi.

Maybe not dangerous. Exciting, innovative, original, daring, and just
plain fucking mad is more on point. Orbital is good for what it is, but
they aren't nearly as far out there as Tom J. in terms of breaking new
ground and audio experimentation and that's why I thought Squarepusher
should have won the poll this year. Live drum loops and harpsichords
seem downright bland next to Port Rhombus. IDM (or whatever you want to
call the crazy shit we listen to) should always be about moving forward
and trying new things in my opinion. Innovation should always take
precedent over delivering the tried and true in a competent way (despite
what the whole 'but what about quality' crew seems to think). It can't
stay 1993 forever lads...
