Firstly, there is no such thing as an infinite number of monkeys. Infinity is a construct of the human mind. Secondly, the best IDM song doesn't exist. No matter what MTV or Billboard or whoever would have you believe, there is no best song. Any quest to create better music than XYZ is inherently dommed to failure. Anyone ever stop to think that maybe everyone else is right, and our taste in music is up our arses? It's at least worth a thought. -hjw "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible." --Lord Kelvin, president, Royal Society, 1895.
