Bj=F6rk deserves respect for being, together with Massive, the only worthwil= e top-10 artist with integrity and guts enough to do something brave and unexpected. And for not letting the musicbiz/labels/whatever smooth out every bump in her sound. And for knowing what the hell she's doing. Ever heard Spice Girls praise Stockhausen? =20 Recognition to "IDMers", blah! Those Plaid tracks weren't really good anyway. Please see further than your noses please. If everybody could understand that even if something isn't touched by the hand of black dog nor aphex nor autechre nor muziq nor reload or whatever there's still a SLIGHT possibility that it's groovy. Bj=F6rk is the crystalclearest of crystalclear "IDMers" in my book. Ok, Gonzi or Gil come on. ;) On another note: The somewhat new Money Mark album is a masterpiece. Although not as good as "Mark's Keyboard Repair" still an awesome piece of work. He's got the FUNK. But BEWARE: It's got vocals. Word to the mother, Franz.
