I think its kind of interesting how Venetian Snares came to be part of "IDM". Because really before snares's stuff came out on planet-mu, not much hardcore was really included in the realm of "IDM". Snares was just some new variant from the hardcore scene. But now, alot of kids will say they like idm..."you know, like venetian snares, aphex, autechre". Its just an interesting shift. When it comes down to it, its just a matter of taste. Most people who like Motorhead, Black Sabbath or whatever don't like snares either. If you like other music that's discussed on this IDM list, there's definitely no reason that you're going to by definition like snares.

put Venetian Snares on? Most of my close friends are into snares, breakcore, noise, but also a variety of other music. Its just one flavor out of many. Its kind of hard to explain why you like something simply, but i like the energy, creativity and just the raw sound of it. - cutups --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
