Theres no real problem with that - only that most posts aren't 'reviews' as such, more a question of "yeah I bought this today, gave it a quick needle-drop, its pretty good" type thing. If I said something I heard stank, later on I might sit down and listen to it properly and change my mind - I wouldn't then want something I'd written previously being used as review for that release. I'd say by all means use peoples opinions but use the ones that are obviously 'reviews' not necessarily just brief opinions based on a quick listen in the shop or whatever. I'm being a picky wanker I know - but I've seen old posts based on quick listens of mine that were posted to IDM years ago and are still turning up to haunt me. >From: xxxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx >Subject: Re: clean up idm (was:Re: (idm) IDM suggestions) > >One thing that newbies also need is advice on past releases. Reviews are >lacking in this department. There are still quite a lot of IDM old-timers on here who used to review stuff - I remember browsing Pete Ashdown's reviews quite a bit, back in the day. And Alan's (flu' - whats happened to him?). And TPs of course. Ask around - I'm sure some can help out. I have a few K of old reviews that I used to write. >From: xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx (Jeff Davis <pHlow>) >Subject: Re: (idm) caught up in the moment... > >AMP - i know it's all relative. this comp probably is pretty dillute next >to the uncut dope that courses through your crate but for a backwoods beat >junkie with a big ass like me, this dose from pj at modernmusic was just >the hit i needed..... Maybe it's ass-related then cos my skinny one found it nothing particularly special. My ass thought it was a bit too over-produced. No rawness, no grit. IMHO naturally. >From: Gonzi 'Fresh' Merchan <xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx> >Subject: (idm) idm:1, synthpop:0 > >'it's not fucking noise,' i shouted back at her 'it's art!'

Interestingly, one of the tracks on it also turns up on LM01 but played at a different speed. Or something. || [CiM] || xxxxxx@xxx.xxx.xxx || -
