I was originally annoyed by your "third world" comment, but I actually agree with this clarification. Even the Nortec Collective or whatever it's called that everyone raves about seemed kind of gimmicky. "Oh, the white people will dig this one" type of thing. I don't really know if it's because the only thing that gets to .. first world or whatever countries is the watered down crap with ethnic gimmicks, so white people can tell other white people, "oh, cool, there's this new group from Mexico that's so cutting edge - they fuse IDM with ... traditional Mexican instrumentation. I'm so open-minded and multi-cultural for liking it!" If it would have been good, I would have liked it regardless of all that, but it made me yawn over and over again. Incidentally, I noticed that Microsoft plugged Nortec Collective when my stupid media player sidebar opened (I've tried everything and I still can't get IE6 to launch winamp for .wav). I would also like to say that in the past week I've laughed more reading this list than ever before. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
