I thought Symphony for Dot Matrix Printers was a cool ep that showed what unique sounds could be created from mundane non-musical environmental sounds but i certainly wouldnt call it "idm." I think a better description would be an experimental sound collage that randomly fluctuates between structured and unstructured patterns. I did, however, tire of the sounds used on this cd rather quickly so this on probably wont get frequent repeat listens. I definitely think comparing this to Autechre would be a stretch but it is a cool concept. -->-Lance--- lance@inaudible.com p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
