Huh? We do, we're just sick of them at the moment (I am anyway). You can
only talk about them so much. I'd much rather go on about blue angel
records and obscure luke vibert remixes.

We've been over all this many times. We all agreed without exception I
think that those of detroit certainly did make intellegent (beyond
simply "intellegent") music. It's not a real point of debate on the
list. The term is more a reaction against the sort of mindless 4 on the
floor sameness that dominates most of what is called dance music. See
the IDM manifesto for details.

> ragga??
Wrong list. I used to listen to hip-hop until i got sick of the same
shit over and over. When everyone started ripping off George Clinton
instead of James Brown I figured it was time to move on. Ninjas and the
others fill the void quite nicely.

> I don't think there is one anymore.
All I know is I go to the store, I buy the record, I take it home and
listen to it. Who gives a rats ass about underground. If a couple
thousand people want to buy the same record as me, oh well - happy
listening to them. Who cares what anyone else doing? If you like it, you
like it.
