instresting how the music manages to smash the genres and create a melting pots of styles and you guys wanna build a wallaround your music... Idm....its like Jazz.... as Louis Armstrong said.... "if you gotta ask what jazz is, then that aint't it" or soemthing like that we should talk about U2 and others..at least we can see the music for what it is... "commercial" or mainstream grioups,finally realizing what we already knew... there are some incredible sounds and musics happening without the standard Rawk config (bass drums and axes).... wouldnt everyone want people to know that?.. over here in North Amercia.. dance is pretty marginal...keep in mind , most of the record buying public over here LOVES u2 and will buy their album regardless.. and who knows , if that means they get into some deeper shit? well thats not so bad..... we should be talking about this... for better or worse , U2 are changing IDM....how we respond is up to us.... Ian In Winnipeg, somewhere in the middle of North America... (seen Fargo the movie? well go north 3 hrs... and yer there.. :-(
