Milk Factory: Music News That Doesn't Suck?

Ok... I've been a Milkhead for probably close to a year now.

What is this 3rd 'answer'? It annoys me.

People don't like them because they only cover IDM but its annoying when they do interview non IDM people? Ok?? what is with the damn "erm" people? quit it.

anyhow,

I admit its quirkty.. and its hard to put your finger on the Milkman's taste, but yes it does align itself quite nicely with a large amount of quirky people. He likes moving and creative music, following no real genre except the broad outlines of maybe electronica.... but then where do Antony and the Johnsons fit into that?

As for those looking for Kompakt stuff being reviewed or covered, may I direct your attention to the issue that is coming out tomorrow. I just had a conversation with the Milkman himself, and he is reviewing the 2 latest Orb albums (which actually led to my discovery of this site) the first of which is a Kompilation.

PLEASE LOOK FOR THE NEXT 'LIVE' ISSUE TOMORROW

(as far as I know its not in print anywhere, but I'm not in the UK or an expert so...)

and how the hell is LFO "in no way IDM" 'erm' their releases are on warp

Sorry m8, but you gotta be the most consistently inconsistent person I've ever encountered. I'm getting upset.

I wouldn't say just because somethings on Warp means that it's IDM. Especially not regarding the early singles, ok I'm probably thinking MUCH more of "Frequencies" era LFO, than what came later I'll admit, point taken!

I'm not trying to fit anyone solely in one category or the other here IDM/not-IDM. Just trying to explain something that puzzles me, or feels like a missed opportunity in the current musical climate.

However, I'm clearly explaining this REALLY BADLY and tying myself in knots, so perhaps I'll give it some thought and say more later when I can be better understood, sorry to upset you! :D

TMF is something of a personal site, not an industry promotions machine (and a site I like a lot!) So really, asking for the "taste" of the content to change to suit me isn't perhaps very fair.

OK, TMF is essentially some guy writing from his bedroom...any recommendations for other good sources of open-minded, genre-bending news + reviews?

I'm not saying that at all. This got blown WAY out of proportion.

No, I was being facetious. I think the drama level here got a little out of control. For the record, I'm always either facetious or sarcastic. Makes for great communication via the internet.

ah fair do :)

ha! I totally wore my heart on my sleave!! Cheers for even brining this up.... I'm obviously misdirecting my anger.

I write for milkfactory on a regular basis - I can confirm it's run by one guy, the milkman and it's web only, not print. Other things to read might include: http://www.disquiet.com/, http://www.dustedmagazine.com/, http://www.stylusmagazine.com/. I'm happy to cover anything, it does tend to boil down to what promos get sent and what's suggested by writers.

Yeah, the Milkman, aka Bruno or whatever his name is.. he's a good guy. I found the site by searching for Coppe' and he's pretty much the only person thats ever covered her and other Mango + Sweet Rice releases.

milkfactry teh gud!!!
