i've been reading sicko's book... the opening chapters only complain about techno's not being mainstream music, and i fast grew bored with it. besides, have you even read _generation ecstacy_ ? obviously not. the book OPENS with a quote by derrick may, and the whole first chapter is largely about the early-80's detroit techno scene ! do your homework ! .af. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
