NOTE: THIS IS GOING TO BOTH IDM AND SOCAL-RAVES. WATCH THE CROSSPOST.. IM ON BOTH LISTS, SO I REPLIED ACCORDINGLY. > OK > I've bought these titles and I have to let them go, they SUCK!IMHO. > I just bought no more than one hour ago: > > CHART RUNNERS- V/vm (after 30seconds I pulled the needle off) SOMEONE > TAKE THIS off my hands I paid $15 for it! > > GESCOM minidisc I HAVE TWO SEALED copies of this useless thing.

I > mean I like crunchy digi sound, but man do something with it! And that > V/vm what the fuck is this shit! that x-mas 7" was funny an all, but > everything I've heard since is disgusting! hmm.. differing tastes. see, i think for me, im excited to see idm-ish stuff move towards the more noisey/abstract/dark/nonsense of early industrial. the v/vm stuff, overall, tends to not be all that.. BUT they touch upon some real moments that i really really respect and enjoy.. and really, im quite into the whole DIY thing. really, to be on opposite sides of gil, i like the fact that the emphasis on standard "structure" witin IDM tracks is going away (though the whole drill and bass thing tends to annoy me).. but, really, im just into noise and dark atmospheres.. so take my opinion for what its worth. > I think Lexaunculpt knows how to pull all thi digi crunch sound and do > something GOOD with it, but the above titles I'd like to let go are a > great example of IDM CRAP! hmm.. i guess. i have insane respect for alex, and he produces some of the best stuff i have heard... in fact, i have a wonderful cdr of some drone stuff he did. quite the talented fellow. but its comparing 2 different things really. you picked up some of the noisiest idm stuff around, stuff that has very little structure.. and then try to compare it to stuff that is super structured and complex.. its like saying "what the fuck is up with this country shit? really its nothing like that michael jackson i just bought.. but what the fuck? they were both in the pop section." just because something is labeled "idm" doesnt mean you have to rush out and buy it.. > Someone who ENJOYS THIS CRAP please buy it from me as they are in MINT > condition! i would, but i own it all already. well, except for the gescom, but i have no minidisc player. just dont buy farmers manual next :) > or if you have trades I'm open to all the OLD shit from > APOLLO, WARP (I have most of it), Mira Callix 10", Skam pre07, GPR, > whatever as long as it's got some melody and I can play it for a > CROWD, yes some IDM is OK for the dancefloor, why buy new stuff? > it doesn't have to sound > like my TV going haywire. i think that track would be on the suzanne brokesche release on disco b. > Damn, I want the old NEW ELECTRONICA days > back! UGH. so revisit them.. :) you like what you like and you know what it is. peas, chris
