i don't know about that.  unless thomas brinkmann (or any other current
german minimalist you can think of) has some micro/macrosonic listening
skills which makes him understand music instantly on different scales (&
i mean time scales), i would think even he would have to admit that
repetition is like, not only a side-effect of his kind of minimalism but
even a building component of it.

just to add to the idm content category, my 2 cents on the "boku mo
wakaran" album by rephlex artist bogdan raczynski: if you can stand the
afx-like child voices, then it would be wise that you take a listen to
this, because the quantity & quality of the material that's on there is
really surprising considering all that rephlex dissing that's been going
on lately.  i've only listened to it twice, & not all the way through,
but what i heard has the potential to be one of my favorites of the
year, perhaps.

/me *heart* rephlex
