Hey all,
It's been quite a # of years since I have been on this list, maybe over 7. I think the first time I sub'd was in 1993 or 94. Around 2000/01 I think is when I left. I had become a dad, got married, grew tired of the endless AUTECHRE wars that clogged the inbox so I unsubbed.
Recently, I grew tired of listening to countless M_nus clones labelling themselves "minimal" artists, discovered yet another genre I'll never understand called "electro house" So I thought I outta go back on that IDM list that was so influentail to me years ago.
While I expected some things to change I guess I am curious about the somewhat small signal to nosie ratio here. I'm not complaining, not in the least. I'm just a bit surprised to receive maybe 1 or 2 digest a week. Back when it was easily 5-6 a day (sometimes)
So since I've been away, anyone care to summarize what's changed
Feel free to message me privately if you feel this will grow into a huge unnecessary discussion. I'm just curious on your thoughts since i've pretty much disappeared from IDM music for quite sometime...
