Actually I *didn't* write the above statement (those snips and clips can be
confusing). My guess is that there aren't all that many of us at large with
regard to the whole of the music buying population. And I don't believe
there are that many people who as unbalanced in their approach to
electronic music mongering as others among the people who glut these lists.
On top of that, there is a decent selection of labels and artists out there
for what is pretty much a tight-niche audience. I only realize this when I
walk into a "regular" music store and see what they stock or make the
mistake of asking about a certain artist (whom I think is a household name)
only to get a blank stare in return. This is not the real world - unless
you count commercials and the odd track playing in the background in a
movie/TV show.
