Most of you make me feel all warm and fuzzy, and I appreciate <any> honest commentary. *Not* unsubscribing from this "piece of shit list 4eva." However, it is odd to read posts from people who dissect your "baby," so I can see how our ae chums got ruffled. I miss their posts about gamelans. I do feel a need to respond to these comments from Tom Millar: << I like parts of this record. The problem lies in the fact that these parts are all in different songs in different places.>> Right, well, I had to put them all in different places. If I put them all in the same song, then nobody would listen to the rest of the disc. It's like an Easter Egg hunt. << Song structure is always a problem for sampladelica, I guess.>> Why is this true? Do we sampladelicans not obey the verse/chorus/verse convention? I don't think this is what you mean, since this is the IDM list. Does "song structure" even exist for IDM? And I, for one, am OK with the traditional notions of song structure being re-examined. <<Of course it's intense mental effort to try and write this review in an honest fashion because a) dude gave everybody free copies b) I've been there.>> Where have you been? Where are you now? Not caustic...just curious...happy-go-lucky...occasional dark moments. - Fred Church xxxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx dude is still giving everybody free copies...see http://www.thelocus.com/kumquat for details and mp3's np: wobbly - anything (ovenguard)
