Sad as it may seem, the 14 year old who identifies with Britney Spearis' latest single might be having the same feeling I get from listening to Squarepusher's "Beep Street" for example. Even much of the highly technical idm that usually is considered devoid of feeling has a pleasing effect on me. When I first got the last Ae release for instance, at first I was like "what the fuck is this?" But as usual with all Ae releases, the beast suddenly turned into beauty. I haven't gotten anything recently that has really moved me in the IDM world, but this new D'arcangelo has some nice moments on it. --nick-- ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
