a lot of you are surprisingly reactionary when it comes to music... the time when one could consider themselves "cutting-edge" for listening to IDM is over... the genre has become domesticated as fuck... i think labels like warp realize that they just can't keep putting out the same thing which is precisely why they've signed on stuff like !!!, which is precisley why Andrew Weatherall took 2LS in a different direction this go around, which is precisely why we have Lexoleum (which is just as likely tp put out something interesting these days than mu, or rephlex, or skam, or warp these days)... labels like warp have really found themselves between a rock and a hard place lately, as there are just as many fans complaining that it isn't going anywhere as there are those complaining that they don't like the direction in which it is going.... haha

I usually like planet mu, but lately (as qrter mentioned) there are way too many gabba/amen-break releases being shat out. I'm so sick of it. And I'm sick of VSnares. The last couple of good µ albums we're edIT and Lexuanculpt. I didn't really enjoy Ambulance either, but I only listened to the samples, perhaps I should give it another listen. Skam is doing ok, imo. I enjoyed the Shadow Huntaz/Funckarma thing, although Vampire EP was a dissapointment with exception of "dont got" (which i just bought that one track off bleep.com).

It's just different tastes, I think there is nothing wrong with Shitmat, !!! or Shadow Huntaz. It took me a while to get used to !!! and Shadow Huntaz but it was more then worth it when I did. I think Collapse of the Wave Function is shit, what's that got to do with dancehall? I liked Black Devil but why would I buy the three-format version when the promo spans most of that anyway?
As for gabber and other hard repetitive tracks that most disregard on here, they have been giving me the most enjoyment of late as well as being the area of techno I'm working with myself recently with my friends. We are still hoping to perform/release this kind of music around here but although it goes down well locally with those who just want fun, mention it here and I'd just be blasted. Shame.
Everybody has different tastes, those tastes change each day, people like to complain and even if you think it's shit someone else will love it. I'm quite happy I can appreciate such music. Out of all labels I think Mu are the ones in control of things right now. Rather then panicking that Brittany will drop some drill I'll just buy/do what I like rather then wasting time moaning and let others do the same.

my favorite mu artists:

not everything has to be super-innovative and original. just take time to enjoy where things are at the moment.

because of those awful 'yo yo yo'-voices. I can't stand them. I agree the beats are often quite good. Look at Smojphace: Nice beats, AWFUL vocals. imo

smojphace isn't gabba... dunno what it is, but it isn't gabba.
Ragga or jungle or something. I'm not into that so I don't know.

to me, it's gabba. It's very broad, but it all has the same sound/men-voices/jungle/gabba/blablabla.... who invented that term??

The Dutch. Musically it refers only to the Dutch 190-220 bpm bouncy Techno sound originating in Rotterdam. Your use of it sickens me.

nobody mentioned '000 - upon cycles'
which has 2 or 3 annoying tracks you have to dig through to find a lot of killer ones. It's like a mix of nautilis melodies and richard devine crazyness. lovely.
