Do you know if it'll be available on vinyl?

But isn't it exactly the complexity of the world that makes the choices choices? If there wasn't all these shades and angles, you probably wouldn't even have to think about what you were doing. As for logic, either/or is logic, and complexity is the "real world". To be able to make the nice and...

In what way was lo-fi innovative? Post-rock was a bit more interesting, but was also a combination of different strategies from the past - kraut, postpunk, shoegazer, even some prog... It'll probably allways be possible to find separate names that are so odd and intractable that you'll have to...

This is the whole heart of the matter. People schooled in rock history still think of it as an "America vs England" kind of thing, that it's about Brits "conquering" America. But in the nineties, Britain and continental Europe developed rave and electronica as a full blown independent...

Sakamoto: B-2 Unit (more so than Bamboo Houses) Front 242: Endless Riddance (more so than Headhunter) Zazou/Bikaye/Cy1: Noir et Blanc (more so than anything else you'll ever hear)

Certainly. I didn't say that they weren't innovative, just that they didn't really make gabber.

Delta 9 yes, he's the reason I wrote almost. But the rest of the hardcorps didn't make gabber, just very very hard acid. And Doormouse came later.

American producers (though (almost) only from New York) made important contributions to the development of gabber for sure, but I wouldn't say that they developed something separate. Much more interesting is the german part of the evolution: PCP, Mono Tone, Generator, Shock Wave. My favorite is...

Ah, damn, rigth is wrong... but gabber is right. Actually, both spellings have existed for pretty much all of the genres lifetime, but most of the original dutch stuff use 'gabber'. Sounds and looks better too; 'gabba' just makes me think of the Ramones (something I prefer not to).

On the contrary, one of the best things about it is that it's actually spelling gabber rigth.

Tom Lehrer vs Jello Biafra

Bis made the end title theme for the Powerpuff Girls.

It's allways worth seeing David Thomas, no matter who he's with.

"I went to play a little black jack in the casino, the man dealing cards looked like Brian Eno" I've no idea what happened to Earthling, except that the rapper Mau appeared on a 2nd Gen-album last year.

I'd like to big up 'Red Exposure' too, even though HMLM is by all reasonable criteria their most essential record. Equally great, but quite different from the rest of their output, is the mini-LP 'Read Only Memory' (included on the LP 'No Humans Allowed'), a nightmare soundscape shaming most...

I find it a bit uncomfortable that there doesn't seem to be much agreement about which are the best. I'm not sure I'll take Simons word for it without further explanation - I wish he got more into details. There really seem to be a huuuge back-to-analogue/acid trend happening right now: AFX...

Well, I never claimed Portishead was bad, just that they have been very influencial, direct or indirect, on a lot of things that I don't like. I was allways a bit ambivalent towards trip hop. Probably most of all beacuse it got so much attention without being half as interesting as all the rave...

Yeah, I've heard that too... but then, who was Denzil Slemming? Just a goofy name they put on the records to stay annonymous?

Never actually loved it, but I did like it back then and I still do. As I wrote. And yes, some cinematic music is great, but 90s cinematic-by-numbers music isn't.

Front 242s "Funkhadafi" wins.
