I think it's not an accurate hypothesis. They may appeal to both people into IDM and they may appeal to people into indie-type rock, but I don't think they're providing any real cross-over. Perhaps if they hired matmos to do the backing for their next album, I'd argue that they're trying, but simply mixing in modern electronic tricks and techniques to their music style isn't going to clue people in to music that's made entirely of electronic tricks and techniques. Unless they're saying stuff like "if you like this, try this autechre cd!" derek ------- eggytoast.com ------- with lather thingy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
