maybe popularity is what idm needs? dunno...
there'll always remain a bunch of real UG (hah) artists whose music will be
too hard to be likeable for the masses, like autechre and panasonic for
example. fsol, chem bros and orbital seem to be following the prodigy's
example and come out of the closet, but is aphex twin really *that* popular?
he's just a really appreciated person and known for giving weird interviews
and statements and that's the reason why he's in public quite a lot. the
material he puts out nowadays isn't really that poppy, none of my
pop-music/prodigy-listening friends liked neither girl/boy ep or richard d
james album, not even milkman.
