I highly disagree. Warp's AI comps were the shit, are the shit, and will
remain THEE shit until the end of time. granted warp hasn't had many
groundbreaking releases lately. Unless you call the weird microphone-hiss
amplified and distorted which is MC: Pin Skeeling groundbreaking. It may be,
I don't know. I don't think so though.

I disagree.. There are some great releases in the house dept.. and some may
be better, worse who knows.. but I certainly wouldn't generalise that out of
house vs. IDM house wins.. no way in hell.. but there is house that does
rock.. The track "sensual enjoyments" on Sven Vath's new album I consider
damn well brilliant, for example.

not true. Quite a lot of Aphex stuff has a house beat.. it may be somewhat
experimental, but it has a house beat.. SAW85-92 is pure house.. and Boards
of Canada? a lot of the stuff therre is pure trip-hop.. just because it's
put out by Skam don't get confused.. and it's wonderful stuff, and is IDM.
but a lot of it is pure triphop, and I don't see anyone here holding that
against it.
and Mike Ink: Paroles? If that's not house I dunno what is.
.auddplte <-- classic braindance music-> :P (the new CBM list? ;)
