Oh great, now IDM seems to have stepped into the ugly world of politics. But I suppose this had to happen sooner or later. Which could take us to a new thread: is there any place for politics or any radical kind of thinking (depending on how everyone defines 'radicalism') or subversity in the world of IDM/techno/ambient and so on? Of course, I can't personally accept hate-mongering towards any nationality or race, but these things just happen around us in 'the real world', where people hate each other for far more bigger reasons than whether one dislikes AFX's or Rephlex's latest release or not. Opinions, anyone? peace (meaning it more than ever), ekku the maintainer of pHinnWeb - everything u ever wanted to know about Finnish techno scene but were too afraid of the reindeer trerra@uta.fi | http://www.uta.fi/~trerra | http://www.sci.fi/~phinnweb you make your own heaven and hell right here on earth
