nothing to all those people who arent exactly 'connoisseurs' in idm, like you fresh. bjork's terms lay more in the education field. she has enough good taste to pick good collaborators that get known through her music. a lot of people got led into idm by listening to björk, and shes probably what made YOU develop a more 'exotic' taste.

oh urgently we will... what are you? the saviour of idm? its not like bjork's destroying your precious genre or anything, she's publicising it. i think how she chooses to work is not as evil as all those annoying half-assed side projects that just use their notoriety like mike&rich and stuff. and yeah, how are we supposed to deal with the ultra-generic transformers and stolen anime from the rephlex page, and all the stolen british expressions in your vocabulary? those are authorship issues too... you get real now, jif
