Ummm...fact is 'for the most part' people on IDM having been dissing URB. Tamara is a long time and highly valued subscriber to IDM, and I think she knows who her friends are. Just don't be calling her Tammy! ;-) And calling us wankers is an insult to wankers everywhere! Especially 'pedantic wankers' -- it's as though one is a wanker concerned with teaching others the fine points of wanking. As for musical quality, that is the first and foremost concern here. It's MY formost concern. I even buy Urb from time to time, and the breadth of it's coverage is fine by me. Talking about ALL the music is important, because people who are narrowly focused miss a lot. --------------------------------------------------------------------- "I read Keyboard, but it's like staring at a book with pictures of simple looking but expensive machines." -- Michael Lazarev NEW CD Comp Electronic Music Project http://soli.inav.net/~kent/emp.html Kent Williams kent@inav.net CADSI 2651 Crosspark Road Coralville IA 52241 (319) 338 6053 (home) (319) 626 6700 x 219 (work) (319) 626 3489 (fax)
