Is electronic music not making you feel your oats anymore? Is IDM really getting so repetitive that everyone sounds like Ae? Here are just a few warning signs that should let you know the gig is up: -- in its latest release, the London Symphony Orchestra covers Autechre's greatest hits -- you go to a rave and some punk-ass teenager with a safety pin through his nose calls you, "Pops" -- Wells Oliver somehow manages to get even crankier than he is now -- your kids tell you they did a history report on Brian Eno last week -- Aphex's 'SAWII' gets made into a hit Broadway play, ala Who's 'Tommy' -- a scene from a Joel Schumacher "movie" features a piece of IDM and everyone gets excited about it Next week: Music outside of the IDM genre -- is it just a pipe dream? __________________________________________________________________________ Alex Reynolds E xxxxxxxx@xxx.xxxxx.xxx UPenn : SAS Computing : Biology Dist Support V +1 215 573 2818 http://www.sas.upenn.edu/biology/ F +1 215 898 8780 'The central message of Buddhism is not "every man for himself"!' -- Wanda
