What I said is that there are labels right now who are doing things warp isn't and these labels have releases that are on par with those great AI comps. But, a lot of people miss these releases because they aren't on a known label. You have to look beyond the known labels. > > >of IDM.

What I said was that people tend to label to much and totally miss out. When you look at music and say "I can't listen to that because that beat is unintelligent" you are closing your mind. There is bad house and there is bad idm. But to refuse to listen to house just because it is house is pretty ignorant. By the way you can subsitute any genre <industrial, country, rock etc> for house in the above statement. > not true.

My point is that people close their mind and make rigid rules of what IDM is. They then follow those rules and if the music is outside of those rules they refuse to listen. These same people then complain IDM isn't any good now days. How many people on here have posted at one time or another that they won't listen to tracks with vocals? Think of all the music they have missed out upon because they won't listen to someone sing. Or what about those people who post that they won't listen to music with a guitar in it? Again they are missing out. A closed mind is never a good thing. -daniel
