[note this is commentary, this has little to do with new releases or anything like that] i haven't really read this list in ages or paid any fucking attention to what you IDM'ers are into lately. So I talk with my homeboy Will Samuels almost daily. So he tells me that this list is still yapping about Rephlex being the bomb-ass IDM label???? Ummm is this true??? He told me he got in a flamewar with many IDM'ers about Rephlex and RDJ just this week. ooooh man, how disappointing. I love RDJ and all, but he is OVER. DONE, FINI. Got it. thank you. Ok, I'm willing to bet you peeps are still yapping about SKAM and MASK prices or someother old thread that never goes away- like females who enjoy this music. Well all I gots to say is Rather Interesting is where its at. RI releases are LTD too, so pay attention please. WHat I don't get is this list seems to really enjoy the new era of IDM, what I often refer to as digital crunch stuff (sorry I have a poor way with words) but I'm referring to the SCHEMATIC, SKAM, MAS, like stuff. Lots of RI stuff, is bleepy and noodle roni, but if you listen and listen well you'll see RI was doing much of that style of programming for quite some time now. If you really like DIGITAL, you all should talk about RI more often. Go ahead and continue discussing whatever, but when I hear the list is still discussing REPHLEX, I'm like "ugh. Give me a break." now to make this anything ObIDM: is most of JAKE MANDELL's stuff got that jungle flavor to it? I just got some Prime something 12" by Jake Mandell (saw his name on the list, took a chance) this guy ain't sooo great. Pretty much sounds like most other IDM. Not really pushing any boundaries, but worth the 9bux, and I enjoy the mix of jungle beats with the digi sound. I also have his Midwestern release which also has some jungle type programming. now he has another release on Worm Interface I believe, clue me in; do I expect the same? Similar to this Midwest ep thing I have? gilly np: RI 42 (peeps who know how to program) ps: The Suction 005 7" split is quite lovely, esp if you play Solvent's track at 33, makes a nice mellow track. Just as good at 45.
