`On` was a top 40 track!

This is true, but it`s impossible that IDM could become massively
popular because it is too experimantal, and too varied.

As I`ve said before I think that there`s loads of techno artists that are
better than Ricky James: Ken Ishii, UR, Red Planet, Juan Atkins, Carl Craig,
Kenny Larkin etc but they don`t sell that well, do they?

Flame flame flame!! If IDM was commercial then it would be controlled by the
big labels, your musical taste would be manipulated, you`d be paying 30 quid
to see The Orb at Wembley Stadium and what`s worst the music would be
_destroyed_ after 6 months, because whenever anything becomes popular it
gets burnt out, becomes extremely unfashionable and dies.
