That's probably 'cause americans are fucking idiots. And, by the way, I called the IDM main offices in NYC and they said homogenic was IDM, even for '97, go figure. I dont know about Kid A, either, it always seems to take the offices quite a long whileto determine the Intelligent Danceable quality of works of art. I still havent even heard the album yet, personally, I'm anxious to see how the style has progressed.
