I think the situation here in Sweden is somewhat similar to the
topic earlier re ChBr being played on NBC sportsmen profiles.
A lot of tracks (ChBR,Goldie,Underworld) are subliminally sneaked
into national TV, especially the public nets. At least 3-5 x week
(ymmv-mine is less) you have an intro/outro with a feature. I suppose
this will only be heard by people somewhat conditioned to the style,
but I believe it infiltrates. So summarily, a lot of people know snippets
of the tracks, they just do not realize it. What do you on the "whose-
property-is-IDM-thread" think about this?
