Thank you for your comments everybody, and thanks to Constantine for the
info.
I would also like to say to Gregory that I accept your apology and I
have read your
comments. You should note that I am looking at the music from a cultural
and social
point if view to the point where I am defining what constitutes music
and the notion
of originality using post-modern theory. Therefore I am trying to
immerse myself in the
genre and others like it. Being that there is no IDM or Minimalist
Techno section
in the local HMV I thought it best to ask here first to get a grounding.
Thank you very much for those who did help.
