Yes, this answer is the right one I'm sure.
With regards sonicl's question: Innovation is where you find it, methinks. I'm still reeling from Kaija Sariaaho personally, and Xenakis still blows a lot of things out of the water. Spectralism isn't the only 'new' movement of the last 30 years or so, but it's a good 'un. Haco's bugscape is a pretty brilliant record, and I'm not sure anyone else is doing things like that, but then someone else might listen to it and not hear what I hear. Unfortunately, much as it pains me, the early lower-case improvisers were pretty radical (Sugimoto/ Malfatti), but from that side of things it's only really Nmpereign that interest me. Also, Vault by Wastell/ Mattin threw me off quite a bit, there's not many records doing that sort of thing. And Xasthur/ Nortt blew me away last year. Again though, one man's 'radical music' is another man's tepid bollocks, as we saw with NNCK at ATP.
