(idm) sampling or not...revisited.

Interesting debate between a friend of mine and my brother.

My friend is a synth purist. His studio is all analog gear except for 1 digi
synth and 1 digi drum machine. His music sound like classic tangerine dream
quite often. He does the german trance thing too.

OTOH
My brother has two main instruments...both are samplers. Most of the time all
of his source material is jazz / early electronic experimental / psychadelic
rock / funk records. He mangles all the sounds and recontenxtualizes them to
staggering degrees, but for the most part, he stays away from synths.

Now...whose music is more organic???

I can't decide on this one. Really...the one set up is purely electronic and
the other is purely found sounds that exist in the "real world," not on a
circuit board.  <--THis point is debatable, but we're talking about the
finished product here.

Ideas?
(and no, I've never heard oval. is there a domestic (us) release or some mp3s?)
