I think that there probably are too many sub-genres... just within the list, so many are brought up that sometimes the definition of what we are supposed to discuss here (at least for me) gets pretty muddled... I'm not saying that I NEED a clear definition, just that there's alot of stuff going on. There's some movie being made on rave culture by Hypnotic (Cleopatra) and I highly doubt anything discussed here will even be touched on... of course, I'm sure, as with Cleo comps, it'll probably cover mostly THEIR artists =) Anyways, are the artists here really making a mark? I know that on rec.music.industrial, I am more and more seeing the names Autechre and Aphex brought up... FSOL was being mention constantly for a while. Maybe, if more people do start getting into it, it will start influencing other completely different genres (say industrial, if it hasn't already) and then I'd say, ya, its made a mark... otherwise, I couldn't say... but then, what the hell do I know =) __________________________________________ brap@sonic.net *** sfwd@sonic.net http://www.sonic.net/~brap/ DOT.info.station the.hardcore.outdated.GPO.page c.Gosselin, POBox8264, Santa Rosa, CA 95407
