I think I must be living in some sort of alternative universe -- the
version of "Chill Out Zone" and "Party Zone" I see on MTV Europe in
this universe constantly plays the stuff we talk about here. They've
played all the Warp videos many, many times; they do looong interviews
with RDJ, Orbital (you know the list); I've seen "On" a gazillion
times; and they seem to be playing those X-MIX-X videos from R&S in
toto.
"Chill Out Zone" is 90 minutes of IDM with a few novelty items thrown
in, while "Party Zone" seems to be 50% funkee and 50% idmee. "Dance
Floor" is 100% funkee, of course.
