Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to the list so a little word of introduction should be in order. I'm Julien and I live in France. IDM is not the type of music I listen to the most, but I still have a lot of interest in it. I guess I'll be more of a lurker (and a digest-subscriber)... About the remix chain idea: even if starting from a crappy pop/aor/whatever song to produce a cool IDM track is an intersting challenge, I think it would take a lot of work and talent to make it more than a novelty... Look at the first Moog Cookbook CD: funny the first time you hear it, but not really worth buying when there's so much more interesting music around. Another (third?) idea for a remix chain would be the following: everyone participating in the project creates a track, then pass it on in a ring fashion to the next IDMer to be remixed. One iteration would be enough to create something interesting, but more iterations could be made (e.g. until you get back your original track, meaning that *everyone* in the chain remixed it!) This transforms the remix chain (proposition 1) into a remix ring. I hope this project comes to life and becomes an ultra-rare limited edition vynil-only release! bye, julien
