"Christopher Fahey" <xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx>: >NO! NO! Just because I say you should *think before you sample*, >everyone accuses me of being some kind of "Keep Music Live!" hippie or >something. All I ask is that we, fans and artists, think about the music a >bit! That's what the "I" stands for in IDM. OK, so I overeacted a little. Its just when I see load of criteria (rules?Questions? whatever) for music creation I automatically think of "Keep Music Live" and get a little hot under the collar. I do believe though that the final sound coming out of the speakers is all that counts in decided whether you like a piece of music or not. As to artistic integrity and ripping off Bitches Brew, I say as long as I'm not being lied to I've got no problem. And providing Miles gets his due of course.
