On the other hand, being able to converse with great artists isn't always a good thing.

This has my favourite use of samples (there's no one single sample that's particularly good, it's just the way they're used that stands out). Also springs to mind.

Cool cover, what is it?

Oh, I understood it all right. I just found the man's apparent lack of media savvy funny.

Went to a 30th birthday party for a couple of friends.

To be fair, one of the things he actually said was "I'm a Nazi".

What happens when you try using it? Strange. What browser are you using? I'll try to draw this to RTP's attention.

Opinion?

Awesome thread, Walkabout.

I must have slept on my arm funny last night, because today it hurts like fuck.

Very nice, especially New era gain and Glitch Bitch.

Hello Santo. How are you?

^ Outstanding work.

Don't know if this is what Darkarbiter had in mind, but his comment makes me think of the Kiriyama album.

^ I've had that "good-a-night-a-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding" in my head for decades, I had no idea what sketch it was from.

If I correctly understand what you're proposing, I guess such a topic might be worthy of being pinned in the Music Making and Production/Industry subforum. I'll run it by the admins (it's their call, not mine). Anyway, feel free to start such a thread yourself - mods can pin threads started by others if we see fit.

I voted dark, not because I intrinsically prefer night music to morning music, just because my experience is that people are making a lot more of the former that I enjoy (IOW, it's a statement about the music that's available rather than the music that's conceivable - it could easily have been the other way round it the genre had developed differently).

Not necessarily. Personally I don't agree with the political, religious or aesthetic views that would lead someone to put a picture of the devil on the cover of their CDs, but I can't deny that some of the music they make (e.g. Horror Place, Devil's Mind Records) is pretty good. It's just that IMO it's good despite the devil/horror stuff, not because of it.

Sorry for drifting off-topic, but I have a sincere question for the people who don't think there was anything groundbreaking about IM's early work: have you heard either of these two albums? If you have, consider listening to them in a hypothetical world in which IM never existed; would you think there was anything groundbreaking about them? The reason I ask is because I honestly can't see how someone could listen to one of them and think "this is very heavily indebted to Sandman/MFG/AP" before they think "this is very heavily indebted to IM".

Yes, you are right - I absolutely do acknowledge that I was largely to blame for the drama (after all, I did start the thread). I have strong feelings on the subject and still stand by most of what I wrote, but I realise I come across as overly aggressive in these kinds of debates, and will try to work on that.
