Heh :)
I once made an Ae tape with "Gnit" looped on the A-side and "Overand"
looped on the B-side. Mesmerizing is the appropriate word here...

Progress can basically be achieved in two ways: by doing something
that throws away all rules and standards, ending up as something
entirely new ("lateral" progress) or by staying within a certain
framework and ending up as a further refinement of a current style
("transversal" progress). RDJ would be an example of the former
category, the Basic Channel sound an example of the latter. The same
with loopiness: it might not be groundbreaking anymore, but there is
still progress possible (and being made).

...as one of the places where the formula...
There are more facets to this thing we call IDM than just RDJ....
