this same claim has been made with a lot of minimal house/techno,but everything sounds better thru quality systems anyway so it's a given, regardless of how subtle yet intricate the production is.

Though yeah, people talking about minimal as if it's all wimpy and stuff really makes no sense when you're having your lungs melted by the kick drum at 5am.

Wheras some minimal stuff seems qualitatively different at lower volumes, rather than just an impaired version of the same thing, more chilled and "interesting" (home listening good). Adding tons of volume and thump can actually be detrimental to that side of it.

This Toastyboy track is lush btw! I'm not sure what's really out there atm (or upcoming) in the way of non-halfstep monsters? Some of the Dub Police/Caspa stuff I scanned a while back sounded a bit "different".

reminds me of that classic thread on old-ilm where dude was all "you're not allowed to have an opinion on AUTECHRE unless you've heard it at a rave over a 10k system with DECENT MIDRANGE RESPONSE"

I have seen autechre live and it was fucking awful! But I likes them on record.

What would really be good would be a compilation focusing on the weirder beat structures emerging (mainly from Bristol and Mala)
upcoming Skull Disco comp. should be good (CD!) I wish I'd had the foresight to wait a bit longer...

I see the Matmos top 10 from the December ArtForum magazine on their website but not the Kode9 one. Hmmm.
