it's a bit unfair to slate the guy for dying his hair to attract attention- remember that his only function in the group before firestarter was as a dancer, and to look wild on stage. sorry to post on a taboo subject but someone has to play devil's advocate. why not ignore the prodigy, as we do 99% of music that is not idm related instead of regarding them as a threat because they come from the dance fold. they are not stealing exposure that idm acts need- idm will never be mainstream because most people don't want to listen to music that engages the mind, and fair enough. it is sad when people start sneering at other people's music, rather than enjoying their own. idm has no objective superiority over other styles- all we can say is that we enjoy it more mike (who is prepared to stand up and say that he *likes* the weather experience) PS this is not an excuse for 100 people to post about the prodigy, so don't
