oh, thanks. I have a mix Teep made, it has some "mainstream" stuff on
it, I wonder what Derek would think of this, maybe Derek is more
underground than Teep eh?

what made me say this: if Rephlex is planning on releasing this
again later, fine, but if they are releasing only 1500 copies, prove to me
that it has only to do with economics.

well, I think people who think they are better than others becuase they
are more "underground" are dumb. I especially respect anyone interested
in idm, regardless of how knowlegeable they are, and would be glad to
impart any info I could, rather than looking down upon them.

I don't care who Derek is, or how "undergound" he is,
he was disrespectful, and doesn't appear to be a very nice human.
Granted, I was angry, but I wasn't talking shit, I don't care what status
Derek has in the world you inhabit, I simply put out a message as a joke,
and he was mean.

can you clarify what you mean by this? He normaly isn't judgemental? Fine.
Then I guess you are replying that he was so disrespectful becuase he
"has ties with Rephlex" and couldn't take my joke?

ok, so enlighten me.
Furthermore, what happens when an artist becomes "mainstream" like
RDJ? The record label should still release small quantities of thier
stuff to satisfy only trainspotters? I don't think that's right, maybe
you do. I would rather good music reaches everyone who wants it.
There are still plenty of "non-mainstream" artists on small labels that you
can hunt down, and older RDJ stuff.

sorry, I feel like this was unnecessary, but, I guess you were offended
by my remarks about your little "underground". go back there.

fine. well, I felt it necessary to respond to you so I wouldn't look like
the fool you claim I am.
