Daniel’s Reviews > Energy Flash: A Journey Through Rave Music and Dance Culture > Status Update

Thank GOD that chapter on IDM is over. Fully realising that when it comes to music writing I don’t give a single shit to describing the actual music - if I wanted to know I could just listen to it (although maybe all that shows is I’m just a child of Spotify?). But seriously, I’m only here for the cultural analysis. Long live ‘ardkore!

Who’d have thought the chapter on IDM would be so dry??

Didn’t expect Altern-8 // Slade comparison but sure. I OBJECT however to a prodigy // Sweet or T. Rex one though. Simply on the grounds that you cannot even compare Sweet and T. rex? These are two very different strands of the glam rock gene?

Finally found my defence of Dutch and Belgian hardcore.
