>>Radiohead - Ok computer - not IDM but one hell of a good cd. This is the >>only rock album I bought this year. > > >What does rock sound like ? Is it something like Hans Platzgumer >or Sam & Valley or maybe Holger Hiller ? I thought rock was invented by AFX. 'Come to Daddy'... IMO, OK Computer is the most overrated album of the year. The best non-idm releases were Kiss My Jazz 'The Lost Soul's Convention' (experimental jazz) Think of One 'Juggernaut' (experimental gypsy(?)-kinda stuff) Portishead 'Portishead' (no comment needed) The most promising debut Cinérex 'I Spy-EP' (Portishead meets Chemical Brothers meets James Bond Soundtrack) I am impatiently waiting for Flowers for Breakfast (Sonic Youth but way better) Massive Attack Zita Swoon (90's rock meets 30's film soundtrack) Other memorable things in 97 Bjork has become musically adult after all ('Homogenic') Coldcut is back ('Let Us Play') ------------------------------------------------------- Mathias Verraes xx.xxxxx.xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx Aequalitas haud parit bellum -------------------------------------------------------
