No, it's not. Generally, men and women are very different creatures. But I would like to say, for what it's worth, I lived a large amount of my life on one of the more downtrodden council estates in Manchester, and still live in a pretty crap part of the city (but then again, what part of Manchester *isn't* crap?). My most prized possession is my record collection, which I have built from scratch on the dole - I've sacrificed a lot for it. I search boot sales for children's toy drum machines and cheap musical castoffs, and try to make interesting music with them alongside my computer. Sometimes I view people who buy 909 drum machines as having much more money than sense! Four people could, given the amount of money a 909 costs, make utterly innovative and much more interesting music than one 909-bashing android. Something grotesquely extravagant like a 32-channel desk could fund scores of people's setups. So, to make a point, it's not about what you have, it's your ideas. But those with a good job, or benevolent parents, are obviously better equipped to make and distribute music. Money doesn't talk, it shouts. I hope that some time soon I will have the resources to make records, and I can show you all how it should be done..

Because people with no money don't have the time, resources or inclination to indulge themselves.

No it doesn't. Why should it?

Never get tired of this record. The peak of the Philly/NewYork be-bop scene. 3 Requisite IDM content: just got Real Intelligence 1 & 2. Pretty vain, indeed, as even the covers copy the ai series. Then again, the music kicks, so perhaps not so arrogant after all!
