Our minds have gained a tolerance to electronic music. We're bored cause we can't find that fix we got after getting that feeling which got us into this music in the first place. That's my take on it. I used to adore autechre because their tracks were such a mind fuck for me. Now i'm burnt out. That sense of wonder that makes my hairs stand on end is gone. I've been getting into more electro acoustic stuff and reconnecting with rap and insturmental hip hip... hopefully these will keep my interest for a while. Haven't gone knee deep in rock yet. And when it comes to mainstream stuff, I'm mostly out of the loop. I can't have a meaningful conversation with my friends about the stuff I like and vice verca. I think i'm losing my love for this genre. Anyone else feel the same?

I could get into jazz, but discretly. I have a friend who became a rabid jazz fan within the last year. If he found out i'm looking into it he'll shove it down my throat for sure. I guess that shouldn't piss me off but it does.

Strange how you can take advice or suggestions from certian people but not from others. Maybe it's because I sense a power struggle behind the motives of some... Hard to explain

there's always good new music to be found, "new" as in "new to me", whether it be newly brought out music or older stuff.
it all depends on how well you are looking, I guess.
I can't see how any of this can be a worry, really.

Mertens is saying he's "losing his love for this genre" - that sounds like a worry to me.

I am a bit concerned, yes. Maybe the quality is staying the same but my standards aren't.

Listen to nothing but Hard House and Goa for a month then go back to your art techno. I don't concentrate on any one genre skipping between Noise to Euro-pop and Grindcore to Ambiant. I get all the best stuff on vinyl so it's not too convenient for me to listen to, stops me overplaying it like an mp3 on loop. If I stick to one style of sound it seems to just stop going into my head as I get used to it too.

no, it's kind of a cross between industrial and house... the beats are very heavy, sort of hardcore like...

i can think of one decent idm album that has come out this year... that would be Team Doyobi's Choose Your Own Adventure... but there have been plenty of decent electronic albums... particularly in the electro-acoustic vein... but yeah, what the hell, i say go with Teapot's suggestion and dig some john coltrane up... or just jazz in general... or really anything old... as qrter said.... there's always going to be musical areas where you are uneducated... umpteen treasure troves of beauty, both new and old, to be discovered...

Just buy any 2CD mix that Nukleuz.com release, BK springs to mind tho. I like Hard House but after 2 or 3 DJ mix CDs your pretty much covered, I don't own much on vinyl because it's pretty common around here. It would be as pointless as getting into Drum n Bass heavily.
