I've been subscribed to idm on and off almost since its inception, and
although a great deal of useless trainspotting goes on, I've found out a
great deal of useful information and been turned on to some great new
artists as a result of reading a review or getting a recommendation from
someone on the list. Since the commercial music press is only now starting
to cover more idm, I think it's been great to have this venue to share
ideas and tastes with like-minded others, even if they are neurotically
obsessed with tracking down every last ultra-rare super limited edition
holographic-vinyl Aphex release..
Nothin's gonna change, so bear with it or sign off :).
