I think the situation here in Sweden is somewhat similar to the topic earlier re ChBr being played on NBC sportsmen profiles. A lot of tracks (ChBR,Goldie,Underworld) are subliminally sneaked into national TV, especially the public nets. At least 3-5 x week (ymmv-mine is less) you have an intro/outro with a feature. I suppose this will only be heard by people somewhat conditioned to the style, but I believe it infiltrates. So summarily, a lot of people know snippets of the tracks, they just do not realize it. What do you on the "whose- property-is-IDM-thread" think about this? - Anders

I see a similiar situation with a local radio station here in the Washington DC(U.S.) metro area called WHFS. It's a fairly popular, commerical "Modern Rock" station. Here's the kicker, with their own adverts they throw in snippets of tunes by MBM, Aphex, Prodigy, etc... and IT'S A REALLY ANNOYING TEASE.... Anyway just thought I'd add a little... Ross Volition Inc
