well.. they are misinformed about that for sure, and probably about other things too.. remember that the word "techno" is used by most uninformed americans to mean the crap out there. I remember a long ago IDM msg where an IDM'er encountered a girl who loved techno while on vacation, and when he brought her his cd's in hopes of getting a funfilled night instead he got "you don't have any 2-unlimited?" :DD so a lot of these ppl have never heard some of the stuff we have. I have personally experienced this quite a few times where known "techno" haters like some of the stuff I listen to, but not some other stuff. and if you think about it, techno is really not a term that's ever even used by us anymore, at least I haven't heard it in a while. it's mostly idm, electronica and electronic dance music nowadays. -- __ __\ \ Game Program ( R G / /_\ \ .gampggrmx.1x26s..1<,www.freq-div.home.ml.org<,, \_____/ >> buh@clark.net >> < > .. >> .<>> >> >

in shops in britain, they generally lump everything into 4 categories: techno, house, downtempo breaks and jungle. if they are a bit more knowledgeable they will have a small electronica or experimental section but otherwise it just gets shoved in the techno section. i've never seen a shop with a section entitled 'idm', which is probably a good thing cos then the people into the other stuff would *never* buy it: 'intelligent? so that means the stuff i normally buy is unintelligent? fuck those wankers...' cheerio! np - ole - john coltrane

Synaptic Records in Denver actually _does_ have an 'idm' section. I had to smile when I saw it. Most US shops lump everything into "dance" or "techno", often the trip-hop winds up in rap, depending on how clueless they are. Sometimes there's an ambient section, where you'll find everything from Moby to T.Dream... Che

heh, my local small record shop (who used to have the most amazing idm/techno/trance/etc. section around used to just lump everything under "imports/rarities" so people were being forced to pay like $20 for domestic releases that were just hard to find elsewhere. Luckily they also had an amazing used section with lots of idm and electronic stuff for like $5. . so I bet you all can guess where I spent all my time :) Its kinda funny that one of the biggest retail chains around now has one of the best idm/techno selections here. Virgin Megastore (In Burbank for those of you in Southern California) has an pretty good selection of stuff . . Found Mike & Rich for $3.99 and a couple of Autechre disks (full length) for like $6.00 each. . sometimes their prices are high but you can find a deal if you look hard enough. . .and a pretty nice selection of stuff Oh yeah, while im on the subject of shops. . if your into vinyl, <plug> check out Dr. Freeclouds in Costa Mesa. . very good selection of techno, jungle, ambient, trance, some idm on vinyl. . one of the very few shops around that is almost strictly vinyl. . .and if i remember correctly it is run by Simply Jeff and Ron D. Core (who put out some pretty interesting stuff). . .I believe they have a webpage at www.drfreeclouds.com but don't quote me on that. . .</plug> Ok enough from me. . have a nice new year all. . sorry for getting a tiny bit off subject :) Jeff Bailey Support Operations Center EarthLink Networks, Inc. voice: 626.296.3017 email: baileyj@earthlink.net "Dont try any of your cow hypnosis on me, cuz it ain't gonna work"

Or even better ignore the place all together and drive up Harbor Blvd. to the excellent Noise, Noise, Noise which has a great selection of CD's and viynl (WAY better than Freeclouds for IDM) and much better prices. Many a dollar I have dropped there. Also kewl moog viynl section. gnz.
