Heh, just an anecdote on this note...
I pasted a bit of a post from this list to a friend on IRC... who
immediately asked what IDM was. Having piqued his interest, I pointed
him towards warprecords.co.uk for audio initiation... upon which
receiving, his question was,
"Do people actually dance to this?"
After I explained, he was much releived, saying he thought he'd
probably run far and fast if he saw people dancing in a way
that reflected the sounds he was hearing.
I think I won a convert, tho...
