Oh really? So Autechre and Aphex Twin are IDM, yet aren't known by the
mainstream? I tend to think a sizeable percentage of people who have heard of
Prodigy have also heard of Autechre and Aphex Twin. Both of the previous have
videos out, should we start finding reasons to hate them, and defile their
worth in the name of "IDM?"
Explain how Prodigy makes themselves known. If Liam Howlett's main purpose was
to make himself popuular, like you say, than why is it a large percentage of
people who have heard (of) Prodigy don't actually know who the Prodigy is?
