About the whole UW issue, i don't know because i don't even listen to uw anymore, but i guess i got an OD in here. hehe..

My opinion is that there is not much room anymore for good discussions. The people that were really into talking about music left or limit their replies to the basic, i assume because the bar just drop really down around here or something....

But yeah.. it was a lot lot better.

I miss Slippy Epic's stuff. He was still around when I first joined, and really got me into Boards of Canada at the time. And discussions of new music are fantastic and should be encouraged. I don't download stuff from p2ps though, only mix sets from the web. So unless I am really inspired to go out and buy something, sometimes the discussion is all very interesting but I don't have much to say because I haven't heard it and can't really comment.

Where I do get bored is with the "LOLZ u r teh suxx0rz cuz u like Underworld still" thing that seems to go on from time to time. This is the official forum of the band - most people (aside from those in a very small circle of friends of the owner) found this place as a result of their love of Underworld. Most people are open to all kinds of new music, some are more restrained in their tastes.

But yeah. Anyway. More threads about new music please. Preferably with links to a site or a clip that we can listen to/watch and evaluate without having to download it illegally, which I cannot do no matter how much I really want to.
