discaimer:
all of my comments below were in jest at the generalizations being thrown
around about:
girls
"idm"
boys
folks who like idm
music
ravers
live music
"intelligence in music"
etc..
and were not directed just at daniel, but toward a thread i find a bit
silly... and to some degree insulting.
thats all :)
oh. and in NO way was i suggesting that more complex music is more
intelligent. we should all know by now that intelligence and idm dont mix
:)
love,
chris.
