Opinionated I guess. Sorry I am not a mindless IDM drone :)
Just out of curiousity what were some of the outstanding Rephlex
releases of '98. And I mean "new" not reissues.

It's good, but not worth the hype of many of the emails I have read. I
don't think they stand up to alot of his other work. But they are
worth the $10 I spent on them.

Your absolutely right if I didn't have any expectations I could go to
regular mainstream bars where there are tons of women and bad music
and i might not care. Unfortunately, I have to set my expectations
high and only go to drum n bass/idm events and hang out with 95% guys.
If I had no expectations or opinions I could go to anything and maybe
enjoy it (know matter how weak it is), instead of just certain type of
events. You know what they say ignorance is bliss.

Great, then why do you guys get bent out of shape if someone says they
don't think his more recent stuff isn't as good. And continues to
becomes less influential in MY tastes. Why do you even care? It's
really silly. I don't care if you love him or hate him, it makes no
difference to me.
I secure in my tastes to not care what anyone else thinks. Some people
will agree and some won't. cheers
