I think the discussion is mainly focused on the output of Liam Howlett's musical skills, as compared to Keith Flint's lameness. > 2.)

You haven't given the new disc even a complete listen (most people listen to new releases atleast 2-3 times before they really begin to grasp something), and yet you make blanket statements such as "they've gone downhill." > And whoever said that IDM is not danceable is flat wrong. My def of IDM Another blanket statement. No one ever said "IDM" is not danceable. What they did say, however, is that a sizeable percentage of IDM is not immediately dance "worthy." I'd like to see you dance to Autechre's "Envane" release. I tend to think that music akin to Envane is better listened tositting down, and relaxed. > is music that I can BOTH dance to, or sit and listen to, because it has > enough groove for the former, and enough depth for the latter. Name some IDM with these qualities, I ask, because I am curious of your own definition, not because I doubt the statement. > -jimg > > ps. IDM--the perfect driving music!
