>> p.s. Can I get list of few albums that are innovative ? But >> they must be released in 97 or 98.... The question is : Is >> there such an album ? If I said name few innovative IDM >> albums...... you would all came up with lists like SAW1, >> Bytes, Amber, Tango'n'Vectif, A Collection Of Short >> Stories, . . . :-( > >Amon Tobin - Bricolage >Spring Heel Jack - Busy Thirsty Curious >Photek - Modus Operandi >Squarepusher - Hard Normal Daddy Now I see why we don't agree with B12... I don't rate too much anything from this list except 'Hard Normal Daddy' coz it's not D'n'B as other three albums. Squarepusher makes techno music and Amon Tobin and Spring Heel Jack has almost band sounding. Don't get me wrong here, I like music on those two albums (specially first 2 tracks on Bricolage) but I don't like the way how they're produced....I can't explain the main reason, but it somehow doesn't fit with stuff I prefer. I've also been listening to Photek 'Modus Operandi' , just once in my freind's house and I didn't like it much... maybe because of just one listening, so I cannot give you right opinion about it. To me Amon and Jack sound really overproduced, it seems to me that they're more concentrated on sound and production than on music... they sound almost like rock to me. That's just my opinion...I respect your musical taste, and I'm glad that someone likes the stuff I don't . . . I really love Plug's "Drum N Bass For Papa" and every Plug released, he's so brilliant....I cannot wait for next Vibert release. I love the way his stuff is produced...Vibert is always concentrated on beats and that crazy mellodies and humorous samples, rather than on sounding and production... he is one of the most innovative producers of nowdays, and really deserves more respect... IMO, main differnece between Jenkinson and Vibert is in approach to the music. Jenkinson almost allways does the stuff that hit you right in your face, you know what I mean...he is a hitmaker. And Vibert is much more discreet and that's the main reason why Vibert is much more underrated and will always (hope not) be somehow behind the scene... Don't get me wrong here, I like them both....but I think they are both equaly good and important for the music of nowdays... bye rob np: B12 "Basic Emotion"
