But they've pulled what they >like--coincidentally what most of this list likes--and put it together >into the best down-tempo stuff I have heard this year. You jumped in your mouth here. First of all you said that there is nothing new in BoC and then described the way of creating new fresh and progressive music. New music doesn't come from nowhere. ---> What then ? Nobody is innovative ! I think there are a lot of innovative and fresh stuff out there... check out Phoencia/Jewa, Plug Research stuff or new Leila to name few. They've also pulled everything they like and put it together in their minds and created different forms of music. Of course we all hear influences with other artists in their music, but that's the beauty of being into music, and not being killed by the time..... If time gets you then you'll end up saying : "When I listened to music, music was so innovative. These artists of nowdays are just copycats. Music isn't what it used to be anymore." Sentences like these I've heard many times, but always by people who are not focused enough on the music or simply from those who are killed by the time. Statement like this has even been said here on idm, but in different shape, but meaning was the same..... Reveal yourself, you flamer ! bye rob p.s. Can I get list of few albums that are innovative ? But they must be released in 97 or 98.... The question is : Is there such an album ? If I said name few innovative IDM albums...... you would all came up with lists like SAW1, Bytes, Amber, Tango'n'Vectif, A Collection Of Short Stories, . . . :-(
