Agreed. However, I think the problem lies with the fact that most of
those who subscribe to this list are pretty damn knowledgeable about many
different forms of techno music. For example, if I wanted to know where
I could find CJ Bolland's "Horse Power" on cd (and I really do? any
pointers?) I'd probably ask first here. But that's only because I think
alt.rave is full of crud, and no better forum exists.
Maybe some enterprising sysadmin could start a trance list to take some of
the load off of IDM. ???
I think for a clear understanding of what is appropiate for IDM, we should
all go back and read the Welcome Message that Fluid posted a few days ago.
IMHO, it *clearly* outlines what IDM is.
Just for reference, I don't mind the trance talk, as I don't really see
an appropiate forum for it. But I can see how some might get annoyed at
the number of messages and the content therein.
