what I am looking forward to (was Re: (idm) IDM not a GRRL thing?)

well after seeing this thread I am really looking forward to these threads
(after all they usually occur around the same time): 

what is idm?
house sucks
vinyl vs cd.
bootlegging for fun and profit (ok I admit, I am fond of that one)
a satirical post that proves some people have to much time on their hands
is that fascination with monkeys healthy?


idm content (sorta):

picked up the following:

john McEntire (sp?)/ sea and the cake seven inch.  The McEntire track is
exclusive to the 7 inch and the sea and the cake is from the soundtrack
McEntire did (Reach the Rock).

The McEntire track is a little dark, full of shimmering bass and
interesting beats.  Reminds me of a more mature fridge actually.

The sea and the cake track is what the cure should sound like in 1999.


also got the matmos/piano magic split 7 inch.  The matmos track is
completely nuts.  More in line with quasi objects than the west.  Damn
good if you like that kinda thing (and I do).  Also, when did lesser join
matmos? he is listed as being a member.

also got to hear a promo of the forthcoming pan sonic cd.  Very good.
Minimal and sparse.  Not as in your face as the previous release.  More
like a mike vanio release but less minimal.
