Hello list,
I'm trying to access to old IDM List archives on
http://web.archive.org/,
but only some of the topics will open.
Do you know where we can browse the entire archives ? If its not done yet,
I really think that having a dump somewhere would be great for science :)
As an example, I'm trying to find when the first(s) occurence(s) of drill
and drill'n'bass appeared.
I can reach a 1997 topic by Styrolene VaT
http://web.archive.org/web/20071118222100/http://elists.resynthesize.com/idm/1997/01/442429/
But i can not read most of the post that could contain some uses of the
word or expression before or after this date.
I also found topics with the names "anti-drills" and "drills", later in
1997, but could not read what is inside :(
Also, if you have any other information/source from inside or outside the
IDM List about the word "drill" from the drill'n'bass, feel free to message
me :)
