while idm "austerity" (i think "disassociation" might be a better
descriptor?) certainly does have an extra-musical appeal, it seems
like a broader range of listener feelings can be projected on that
landscape of restraint than you can fit over the hyper-specific
ambitious-online-Self-builder thing that Arca is currently doing.
to be real general, i think Strong Feelings of ALienation are a big
impetus for both Arca and Ae, but there's a self-obsessed
quest-for-validation in the former and a craft-obsessed
quest-for-transcendence in the latter. makes sense that they wouldnt
necessarily appeal to all the same folks...
