WHAT??? IDM is a MAIL LIST!!! There just happens to be a group of people
that decided they liked this emerging style of techno that was more
listening style than dance floor style but it's still techno, thank you very
much.

HELLO!!! The majority of this list CENTERS around over-media-hyped artists!
BTW what do you mean "what we do?" What are we doing besides sharing ideas
about music releases???

What? Are you chummy with these guys? Are you in on their secrets?
Releasing under different names and with weird and obscure pressings is the
nature of the scene. It was happening WAAAAAY before RDJ, Mike P, or FSOL
were popular (ever heard of Stakker Humanoid???) These people are just
dedicated to the weird and obscure. This is all part of the sound and the vibe.

And what do you call being on the cover of Future Music? What do you call
being featured in Keyboard or big time music rags like Aphex Twin and FSOL
have done? It would appear that you are ignorant to the fact that the people
you mention are the ones GETTING all the big media hype. THEY'RE the ones
who can afford to buy the gear they want and get the studio time they need
to release on major labels like Sire and Virgin.

I'm scratching my head trying to figure out where your coming from. What do
you mean we'd never hear from them? When have we heard from them except
through the media?
