I don't believe it. We've managed to put the "I" back in "IDM" today! I'm amazed! Thank you Phil, Sean, Warren, and others for your thoughtful commentary on Simon Reynolds' writings. I, for one, always enjoy Reynolds' stuff. Part of this is due to the fact that he's always willing to take on what many would consider sacred cows (Squarepusher, jungle, Detroit techno, etc). I don't necessarily or often agree with his views, but I do enjoy his work. It gets me upset at times, but it generally makes me think. What irks me most about his writing, as I've said here before, is his zealous genre-of-the-week streak (Geektronica, neurofunk, heroin house, etc). Do we need more microclassifications, really? Anyway, thanks & keep it up. Cheers, Bill -- Sigma6 Interactive Media / http://www.sigma6.com http://www.citydetroit.com
