It's not about making money or equipment. Even if EMI released Tango n' Vectif I don't really thing that it'd rush up to number one.. I mean, does it really matters if the record is pressed in 500 or 5000 (or 50000) copies. Nah. this "it's OUR music, and THEY can't have it!" attitude is just plain stupidity. And, by the way, artists who sells themselves to fame and money, and changes his/hers music to fit the masses better, isn't worth anything anyway.. Franz Enmark Besides, It doesn't take state-of-the-art equipment to make brilliant and well produced music. "The White Room" by KLF (yeah, it's not IDM, but it doesn't take less to make such a record..) was made with only an OB8 (analogue syntheziser) and an Akai S-900 (sampler).
