In the UK, yes, maybe but in american NO! I don't hear it ANYWHERE on the radio (meaning normal big commercial radio not college radio) so it's not *mainstream*. I don't see a Plug CD or a Wagon Christ CD next to Rickie Martin in stores.

Really? Most d'nb musicians? why are there so few adds featuring it if it's so widely sold? This doesn't make sense. Where do you get your information?

Considering the fact that many adverts on the tele are very stupid, yes this would surprise me.

YES, exactly my point. Yes good music pops up every now and again on some adverts but you've got to admit that it's few and far between. steve. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
