>I can see how our ae chums got ruffled. I miss their posts about gamelans. Don't go there. :) >If I put them all in the same song, then nobody would listen to the rest of >the disc. Yeah, but then you'd have one killer single. And one killer single with no other releases would seem very mysterious and make lotsa IDMers conjecture about who you really are (AFX?, not that you sound like him). Maybe you could release that on 12", then send some half-assed old tracks, get them presed and watch everyone buy them like PBO or something. Not that you're that kind of a guy. Not that i've ever heard PBO, but that's the opinions of at least the vocal part of the list. I'm rambling, will stop. ><< Song structure is always a problem for sampladelica, I guess.>> I agree with Fred here. What? Song structure has never been important to electronic musicians. Look at AFX's RDJ album and Come To Daddy. Some have structure, really nicely. Some don't and it doesn't make a difference. Fred's tracks kindof remind me of a mixtape. Starting somewhere and going somewhere else. Not ending like it started, but travelling, moving, changing. And flowing. Yet it took me a few listens before i even noticed that at least several songs end very differently than they begin. So does that add or detract from the music? For one thing, i think that it keeps music from getting repetitive (Imagine what Fatboy Slim could do if he trimmed "You've come..." down into a 15-20 minute megamix.) Sure, there are parts that i wish were repeated more, cos i really like them. Listening to it, i think "bring back that one part" and it doesn't and i don't mind too much. >Not caustic... Nor me either. _________________________________ Adam Roesch / xxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx University of Idaho / Moscow / ID / USA Visit my Fila Brazillia/Pork Recordings fan site: http://dogbert.augsburg.edu/~roesch/pork/ "Because success needs killing" TRICKY
