Odd how no one really wants to talk about RDJ but everyone still does. =) His early works are really in no comparison with the latest, SAW is one of the most beautiful albums I've ever heard. Ventolin is way underappreciated in my point of view. What comes to the appreciation of Come to Daddy, the infamous pappy mix of it, I would see the bad reputation it has on the Intelligent Dance Music list has something to do with the fact that the song is not quite 'intelligent'. (go ahead, think about this a bit - to me it is pretty much saying "fuck you for categorizing me and trying to make me an idol") Meanwhile RDJ has proved he has the skills, listen to the other tracks on the ep, as IZ-US and flim, why not even Bucephalus (assuming it was not randomly programmed on the sequencer.. =) If I'd want to hear a several hour symphony composed by one modern musician, it'd be RDJ. Unfortunately he's just playing around with the publicity he's getting in the scene. -- jari nousiainen / super attaK ... +358 40 529 6324 ... x.xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xx ... http://www.kolumbus.fi/j.nousiainen/ ...
