Ian, If you were responding to me, I think you may have entirely misunderstood the point of my post. I have no argument with what you wrote. All in good humor (eye of the beholder I suppose). Cheers, M. -------- Ian Pojman <ipojman@jmlafferty.com> wrote: not to pick a fight, but anyone can say this stuff about anything. Includign me who will now do so: Some of us are equally as disgusted with the 'IDM genre', including myself. I think most of the IDM thats coming out today sucks by default, just as a 4-man rock outfit does too. What matters, however, is the end result and not the means, though they are directly related. Some of the below "arguemnts" are as blatantly ignorant as those we'd find from slavery's supporters or anti-feminists. Just as you shouldnt judge rock bands as shitty by default, I shouldnt judge some bedroom musician as someone doing somethign thats been done - even though thats often the case. delphi
