I have to agree with this. I've met many more "mainstream" types who wouldn't like IDM or techno even if it was on MTV once in a while. Maybe there are a few kids out there though that wouldn't find it any other way that would love it though. I have to go with "no publicity is bad publicity" on this one... sean (aliens suck:) ======================================== TIme IS FRying... ======================================== sean@ecology.coa.edu SHM Productions Copious Machine Fishtank
