I'd like to thank Jesse for stating my point better than I can as I really meant no
offense to all those who might find Ae boring.
I know very well that from all people whom I know only two really love them, only four
like them and all others just do not get them or ever hate 'em. It is normal. In some
way it is even better for funs like me to know that their adoration is somehow
exclusive. 8)
My best friend (it was him who got me into loving music as part of life) introduced me
to most of idm stuff I've ever heard. He loves idm (though it's not his best) but he
does not like Ae. In fact, he says they are boring... That makes no quarrel between us.
We accept it and that's it. I'm ready to accept it. But what surprised me that Tri
Repetae was told to be their worst as I think they are all even for me. And I stressed
it as MHO. Sorry for misuderstanding and I hope this thread did not offend anybody.
