I fucking love that new song... and the rest of the album sounds killer as well... I listened to bits of it in the store, and actually am getting it for Christmas... hey, all this talk about going pop is so stupid... who cares if it's pop? Just because a lot of people might start to like a piece of music, does that mean you have to stop liking it to be into IDM? Come on now... that's so fucking stupid... and really, if a group releases the album they want to release, the one they felt they should've made, how is that considered "going" pop? Blah, I like what I like, whatever the fuck it is... some people need to open there minds to more types of music, and who fucking cares if it's pop... just like what you like, and be proud of it... I enjoy being special in a sense for liking IDM, and Aphex Twin, BoC, Autechre, etc... it's kind of like an exclusive club... but I also enjoying liking music that is popular, that you can hear on the radio (sometimes, now 99% or what is on the radio is the BAD kind of pop), and that you can talk to other people, other people who aren't as into music as myself, about...
so yeah, I love that new Underworld track, think the new album will be all killer, and I love Daft Punk... speaking of which, I really need to get Discovery... and you know what? I don't care what anyone thinks about that...

I also think some people think too much about music... like isn't music supposed to be emotional and all that? I suppose if you like music that is complex, fine, but too me music is all about an emotional response... so, I really don't care if a new release by an artist is more complex, less complex, a step ahead, or a step back from their previous album... if it touches me in some way, then it's all good!! I think people have pretty lofty expectations for their favorite artists... now you can't seriously expect an artist to constantly revolutionize music, but you can expect them to improve... but even if a new release isn't a big improvement, it shouldn't be a huge dissappointment just because of that... music that might repeat ideas that have been done can still be good music...

yknow
after all the messy stuff (as we call it) that my mate and i have done over the years, weve become dead keen to do something relaxed, friendly, and tidy
we were cruising around diggin roxy music, and yeah, well weve learned a lot from doing wacked out electro, but we feel ready now to drop the anxiety and completely change our style. tastes change, its great to feel like were not boxed in anymore, and writing the same song again and again
on here is a pretty thorough example of where weve been

but yeah, things are going to be a lot different this year

Od, is right, 7\fx could be considered pop. If you were to ask people who are some mainstream electronic artists (not shit local DJs and such) a hefty chunk would say 7\fx.
The guy made some breakthrough sounds and people caught onto it, so naturally he's considered "popular" in the electronic music world.

a band can go "pop" and still stick to their roots, really if the masses start ot liek them its considered pop. when they change their music to achieve that in a " selling out " manner than its sad :(
