You've misread the article. A.P. said that Kid606 "is poised to become the first American IDM figure to appeal to the alt-rock masses." It's a subtle distinction, but an important one. Hrvatski is phenomenal, but his music probably is too inaccessible to cross over. I hope I'm wrong, but that's the way it seems to me. But maybe his Pink Floyd cover will endear him to the classic-rock crowd. ;) Dave Segal Managing Editor/Alternative Press Reviews/BPM/Reissue Redux Secret Ions on WCSB Thursdays 9-11PM EST [www.wcsb.org] np: Experimental Audio Research- Live At The Dream Palace (Ochre) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
