Ed,
I have had several "run-ins" with listpeople like the ones you have
described...
I agree with you 1,000,000% as I obviously feel just as you do...
all the snobs on the list have to judge everything based on comparisons to
either Aphex Twin and Autechre...
sorry, it's the IDM list, not the ?!@#$@#@#$%$*#^* "let's suck off Autechre"
list...I totally dig Autechre...but they're not the be all, end all of my
musical tastes...btw, did i mention how much Arch Carrier rocks????
it's about love of all art, not the segregation of it...THAT is how slavery
and racism works people...
