Errrmmm.... well, if you are reviewing rock n roll which sells billions of copies, promos are the way to go. IDM on the other hand has a limited audience; record companies that put out the best stuff are rarely rich from massive album sales, you know, and can't send out promos to magazines or whatever that will probably dis the records cos they don't have lyrics or something.... let alone sending them to underground type reviewers who don't reach many potential buyers with their reviews. Besides, all members of this list are required to go out and spend all their money and time hunting for and buying everything that comes out.
