<< Some must be, unless there's list where you can discuss Autechre and
Aphex isolated from any other music. Please, do point out where these
places are and I'm sure I will come across the mentality of person you
describe, or many of them all locked away in their tiny little musical
bubble. Otherwise I will assume they are here on IDM, in which case,
come out come out wherever you are!

I'll have to come out and say I probably belong to this group. But it isn't a
lack of inclination, nor really a lack of time. It's a lack of money. I do
hunt out the occasional release from these lesser-knowns, but it takes enough
of my money to keep up with aphex, squarepusher, autechre, orbital, etc
releases. Simply put, I'm not too willing to spend hard-earned money on
something that's nearly impossible for me to find (short of mail-order), and
also something that I've never heard (also a problem with mail order).
