How can one make this call by reading words on a screen unless otherwise
stated explicitly.....? I didnt see hints of superiority or anything which
would make me deduce that.......and hey, I am supposed to have the
inferiority complex......(NOT)
Superiority-su-smeriority....and esoteric-esosmeric......Please!
My point is that our taste, mine too, are somewhat INFLUENCED, by larger
groups of people, many of whom we never get a chance to meet and talk with
face to face(which further makes me question how they can have such an
influence).......Example, Arovane 'Tides'(and this is breaking from my
policy but for example sakes)........I didnt care for it......although many
did....but why did I want to hear it....because many on the list suggested
it....(dont get me wrong its okay, but not smoking or anything
close).......so, again, I believe we are influenced by a larger group of
people(MANY of us)......
And how one can read superiority into a message is beyond me, unless
explicitly stated(of course unless its Hitler, Regan or Bush)! As for
esoteric, things are as deep as your or my brain will allow them to
be(Period)........
P.s. the temperature gradient decreases when in the shadows.....ha ha
ha.....Back to the Music...my bad!
Hk!

idM is "underground" (if thats thre phrase you want to use) all across the
UK, considerably more so outside of Leeds, Machester and London. Being in
Newcastle, there are several quality shops which stock idm on vinyl as well
as cd, and they know their shit too. I think it's kinda silly looking to
find a scene to be part of and places to go and fit into when you diss
other for being sheep!

The material is out there, try the phone book for indie stores or the net to
find stockists. If I can find it oop north then you can get it anywhere. The
comment on people being sheep is hilarious, again showing how idm fans
believe their music to be more intelligent than other types. What horseshit!
Will someone explain this to me.
Britney et al is more popular because it's got an image that people can
latch onto, it's more catchy than the majority of idm stuff and it isn't
hidden away by elitist assholes who don't consider you better tahn shit if
you don't know autechre from polygon window. Its a readily accessible
friendly-imaged lifestyle enhancing fun product.
Liking idm doesn't make people an outcast, attitudes of superiority do
though
