It would *totally* work, I just don't know if we're ever going to see it
anytime soon. Heck, I'd just settle for *one* experimental techno DJ at
parties around here. Plenty of IDM'ers spin and are fuly capable of
rocking the joint. The problem is that those who throw the parties just
aren't open-minded enough to take this music out of the ambient room, and
that's a shame. I think that if we *really* wanted a night of IDM, we'd
have to throw our own jammie-jam. :)

P.S. Saw IDM-don Fluid at a little net-raver party last weekend wearing a
funky-fresh IDM t-shirt (limited-edition pressing of 1). I think it's now
every list member's duty to bug his ass to print up some more. How 'bout
it, Alan? ;)
"I grew up thinking that techno music is actually something that you
can't imagine. That is techno at its best. If you hear something that
you'd never expect to hear - that's techno. If you hear something that
kind of sounds like you've heard it before, then it's not techno."
