I agree. The original is a fabulous pop song, though. Saint Etienne qualifies as intelligent dance music, though not IDM. For evidence, check out _So Tough_, a record I've described as post-modern pre-Beatles pop. "Like A Motoway" is taken from _Tiger Bay_ (an album disfigured by the US record company, which wrecked its flow by deleting a 3-track suite and replacing it with an unrelated single and 2 US-only mixes of album track -- get the UK/Europe version). --Mark __ Burning Rome : SENSELESS CD on Mindfield Records MindCD03 Cathartium 14 > Distributed by Dutch East India Trading, Com Four, and Carrot Top < < http://www.xnet.com/~mkolmar/BurningRome > < MP3 & RealAudio tracks >
