I wish it were different tho'...

Heh :)
I once made an Ae tape with "Gnit" looped on the A-side and "Overand"
looped on the B-side. Mesmerizing is the appropriate word here...

Progress can basically be achieved in two ways: by doing something
that throws away all rules and standards, ending up as something
entirely new ("lateral" progress) or by staying within a certain
framework and ending up as a further refinement of a current style
("transversal" progress). RDJ would be an example of the former
category, the Basic Channel sound an example of the latter. The same
with loopiness: it might not be groundbreaking anymore, but there is
still progress possible (and being made).

There are more facets to this thing we call IDM than just RDJ....
