Oh yeah, it's just more a general observation. I was thinking more of conversations I've had with people who insist that David Bowie is a big innovator in drum'n'bass for example :-)

Oh sure, but I don't think that's commercialism. I'm planning to send out some demos this summer, and naturally I hope to sell some records. My idea of 'commercialism' is watering down the music to sell more records, or acting as a vehicle for sponsorship (Britney Spears loves Pepsi! You know what do, kids!). I don't want anyone to burn their royalty checks! Anig Browl _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
