Come out, come out wherever you are Mr. Shadow "lurker"(ha ha).......

First off, I commend you for initiating the thread, because it shows what
YOU want. In light of this thread though, again it reveals certain things
about SOME IDM members. In America we call it "keeping up with ole Jones".
If the Jones get a new car, then you(or I) get a new car, if the Jones get
Kid Koala(whoever the hell he is), then I have to run out and purchase
it---I dont wanna be behind the times and differ from the crowd ya know.
Yo-yo, if ever body just talked about his her personal likes and stop
fearing the fucking Gigantic IDM crowd, then the list would have greater
diversity, and more music could be shared!
Respect however for the post, but("blind praise of the old stuff"), perhaps
this alludes to your condition my friend!
H-N-ya!

Subject: [idm] Let's Talk About the Here and Now
I'm not and never was a raver. I don't watch TV. Aphex Twin hasn't
released anything in quite some time. I'm sick of all the retro talk.
Let's talk about the here and now...
What does everyone think of the Schematic comp "Lily of the Valley?" While
"Ischemic Folks" was good, I think it reveled a bit too much in Autechre
circa-"Chiastic Slide" territory. "Lily of the Valley" is much better.
Even a bit of melody has slipped into the DSP crunch machine. More varied.
When is Richard Devine going to release a full-length?
Has anyone heard the new Funkstorung "Appetite for Disconstruction?" What's
it sound like? So have they escaped the Autechre comparisons yet? Are
there raps on it?
What's the word on the new Bogdan? I recently bought "Ibiza Anthems Vol. 4"
EP. So far I'm disappointed. It seems uninspired and haphazard. It
doesn't have those beautiful beats that keep me coming back despite the
Ween-like vocal tomfoolery of say "Boku Mo Wakaran.". Is the forth-coming
"Thinking of You" any better? FE is touting it as the last Bogdan LP.
The Sonig compilation: is it worth it? I'm looking forward to seeing Mouse
on Mars here in Philly next week.
Are the previous Matmos releases even half as good as the brilliant "The
West?"
Kid 606 and Friends Vol. 1: is it as great as the recent blurb in the Wire
hints? I like the Hrvatski remix I've heard thus far, but I'm not a big fan
of previous Kid 606 material.
I'm not new. I've been lurking for about two years now. It seems the list
has become less active, and when it is active, it's mostly non-music
discussions or blind praise of the old stuff. I'm hoping this message might
lead to a fruitful discussion of some more recent releases.
