Sort of, just like Photek, the Orb, and two other IDM groups I know I have records by but can't quite place. As if they didn't air way too many M2 commercials already -- about two minutes of eye-fodder and pointless "what is music" segments repeated after every third or fourth video -- the network also has 30-second bits with "cutting edge" artists set to "cutting edge" visuals. I was fooled at first, too... .JohnBush. BTW: Was it here or somewhere else that I heard MTV is unveiling six or seven M2-ish channels, each devoted to a specific style. By late '98, I could be watching M46: Latin American Dark Ambient... Or something.
