1) is Bandulu's "Guidance" any good? I had it on my "to buy" list awhile
back but somewhere along the line it got removed for some reason
2) Can anyone find a copy of Exist dance: Transmitting from Heaven
anywhere? i believe its out of print but i kinda wanted a copy
3) re: the "mainstreaming of IDM"
I think we should just wait and see. This genre of music (i feel) takes
more of a specific type of person to appreciate, so
"true" IDM may not end up being that popular
I don't think its really that fair to compare this to the Alternative
"era". Most alternative music was (IMHO) based on two albums (which in
turn had their influences, but were big commercially). Pearl Jam's "Ten"
(still a great album) and Nirvana's "Nevermind". IDM, on the other hand,
hasn't really had a big commercial hit as of yet, so there isn't really
much for the average consumer to build off of.
