I'd like to assert that I hoped he didn't mean it not that he should
mean it or not.

I hoped for that as for me personally Ae is not a part of idm and not a
part of
music environment at all. For me it is a trigger for my
subconsciousness, my inner
world. It moves me in the most deepest way. That is why for me there's
no worst or
best Ae album - all of them are those are parts of a chain of precious
pieces of art
made to inspire people like me.
It is not a pinnacle of modern music at all. It does not match to music
criteria at
all. I love many idm makers but Ae just different for me.
Also all I said was IMHO and I do not expect anybody to cry over it as
I'm not going
to cry over someones opinion.
Ae is pinnacle of what sound might achive. But only for me and other
crazy Ae
worshippers (I know some of them but not many).
All I wanted to say is that I hoped Ae would not be called boring on
this list.
