Thankfully, the IDM list has adapted quite well in this regard. I *never*
would have picked up a Mo' Wax disc had not a couple of friendly employees
at Record Time in Detroit crossreferenced _Headz_ with some of the more
"classical" Detroit tunes I was listening to.
I guess IDM is what we define it to be, and with people like Dave Walker,
Kent Williams, Jon Drukman, etc., "straying" out of the Artificial
Intelligence model with greater frequency, we all get a tast of something new.
