Reply to: RE>>(idm) The Tenor Has No Clothe
here, here!! (or "hear, hear!!") - couldn't agree more (i'd even add that there
is a "loungey" feeling to jimi tenor's music which neither comprises his
"techno" credentials nor is a bad thing)

the idm definition has been laughable since it's creation. for me idm
