Sorry, I was a little vague with that statement. I did not mean to imply that Scott Herren first to fuse IDM and hip hop. More likely he consummated the relationship. What I was referring is that there seems to a camp that considers Prefuse 73 a derivative of Machine Drum and degrades it accordingly. This is not to say I dislike Machine Drum, its a solid album. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
