I'm afraid I agree with you. It just occurred to me last night that you HAVE to do this in America because most of the "current" buying public has just caught on to this stuff, and don't really know about the history of underground music genres--except from soundtracks of COOL WORLD, VIRTUOSITY, JOHNNY MNEMONIC, and STRANGE DAYS. It's saddening, isn't it.
