>Quick aside to Robert: This isn't your "Father's music". It's music that >was produced when your father was younger. That's all. Of course, I blew it here. >> Your father sounds like one way cool Croatian. And he's double cool >> for being a bit worried about his son for listening to what he was >> listening to 15-20 years ago. If I had teenage kids and I caught them >> listening to some of the shit I'm listening to now I would be a tiny bit >> worried. Not too worried, but just a bit. Hopefully, my kids will be into >> some supersick ill banana shit and turn me on to it. >> >> I am kurious: Does your father like your IDM records? He isn't into music anymore. He watches football, and works 8 hours a day, and plays basketball twice a week.... >I'll be 40 years old in October. I have records in this room by every single >artist mentioned by Robert above. Of course, you have all those records. But the question is do you have all records from 1930-40 ? These records are produced and released in the time of your father....get the point ? When I grow older, and become 50 year old bloke for example, I'll still love Boards of Canda, but I won't love David Sylvian (not that I don't like his music, I love some of his stuff, but I cannot go so much back in time and search for everything that Sylvian released, than I'll miss some of the releases that come out in 98, 99, 00 or.....) It's really hard to go back in time and search for all those goodies for us younger IDMers. I've recently had birthday, I'm 21 now. How can I get all the records that you have, tell me, how ? Two big problems : Money & Time ---> you cannot hear everything You cannot even hear 0.00001% of great stuff that is released from the beginnigs of the record business. I don't work, I'm still at college, I spend all (I mean ALL) my money on CDs or records and still cannot buy 1% of electronic music I'd like to own. :-(( fuck, at the end it's all about money >Music. It's not a father/son schism. It's a continuum. Of course... I really admire Greg's opinion here. I was generaly wrong in this father/son thing, coz theoreticaly you can listen and own every single record that is released so far :-) bye rob
