i agree with your point, but i realize i should've clarified what i mean by "understand" a bit more. well, no... let me put it this way: does it take a level of imagination or creativity or knowledge of music or art to *appreciate* it? adam: you may not know how people program synths and fuck around with complicated software, and somrux: you might not know music theory or where BOC gets their source material from, but i suppose i'm asking where people who appreciate this art are coming from- where are their heads coming from?? z _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
