Odd how no one really wants to talk about RDJ but everyone still does.
=)

His early works are really in no comparison with the latest, SAW is one
of the most beautiful albums I've ever heard. Ventolin is way
underappreciated in my point of view. What comes to the appreciation of
Come to Daddy, the infamous pappy mix of it, I would see the bad
reputation it has on the Intelligent Dance Music list has something to
do with the fact that the song is not quite 'intelligent'. (go ahead,
think about this a bit - to me it is pretty much saying "fuck you for
categorizing me and trying to make me an idol") Meanwhile RDJ has proved
he has the skills, listen to the other tracks on the ep, as IZ-US and
flim, why not even Bucephalus (assuming it was not randomly programmed
on the sequencer.. =)

If I'd want to hear a several hour symphony composed by one modern
musician, it'd be RDJ. Unfortunately he's just playing around with the
publicity he's getting in the scene.
