has anyone heard the latest Madonna or Janet Jackson??!? I know it's far away from IDM, but you don't have to listen too close to hear the IDM-ish production techniques. I know that inpart this is due to WIlliam Orbit's work with Madonna, but don't you worry kiddies little glitches and twaekd beats will work there way into mainstream music in the same way that all the hard rock bands use 'scratching' in their songs... but yeah the US will be rock n roll forever who cares nate Catfish Gil wrote:
