1) is Bandulu's "Guidance" any good? I had it on my "to buy" list awhile back but somewhere along the line it got removed for some reason 2) Can anyone find a copy of Exist dance: Transmitting from Heaven anywhere? i believe its out of print but i kinda wanted a copy 3) re: the "mainstreaming of IDM" I think we should just wait and see. This genre of music (i feel) takes more of a specific type of person to appreciate, so "true" IDM may not end up being that popular I don't think its really that fair to compare this to the Alternative "era". Most alternative music was (IMHO) based on two albums (which in turn had their influences, but were big commercially). Pearl Jam's "Ten" (still a great album) and Nirvana's "Nevermind". IDM, on the other hand, hasn't really had a big commercial hit as of yet, so there isn't really much for the average consumer to build off of.

I just read the article in Newsweek.. sucks rocks, they say they are going to "cut up" the tracks and make radio edits, and they say The Prodigy and Chemical Bros. have already done this, i've only heard one track from Chem.Bros. so I can't say nothing, but I can surely say the radio edit of Firestarter sucks shit. I seriously hope no other of the artists I love so much do this, it would be horrible :( At least we can trust that RDJ won't have radio edits, unless someone else makes them. Unless it's cool, which I doubt. Radio edit usually = a fucked up version of the track so that the masses want to buy the record when they hear it on the radio. -- Hillie aka Aurafix / PHD ja DAMONES hillien kotisivu - http://www.clark.net/pub/buh/index.html phase distortion - http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~airou/phd/ easy internet services - http://huizen.dds.nl/~eis Do re mi fa so la ti..
