i'm getting pretty tired of reading on the **intelligent dance music** list,
that liking experimental music, having a vocabulary and being articulate are
'elitist'. i mean isn't the whole concept of this list elitist in that idm
is separate from the (by implication) 'less intelligent' house, techno, hip
hop etc it grew out of. as idm gets older, more and more releases are coming
out that harks back to 'golden era' and i'm fine w/ that, the bola cd is a
v. pleasant example. but if everything were like that this scene would end
up as stagnant as indie or punk are now despite their beginnings as
irritants to the mainstream. the day all idm sounds like it was made in '93
i'll be listening to something else.
elitist as fuck ...
