Not being too pendantic and RDJ doesn't!? He looked like a right fuk'n prat telling the media that he wrote tracks in his sleep, when he did the media thing for his SAW 2 release. Anyhow that's an aside... the main thing i'm writing about is to ask a simple question? Does the likes of Trent Reznor or David Bowie or U2 or anyone for that matter moving into jungle, dance, whatever territory really affect the way you listen or enjoy an Aphex, Sqpshr or Vibert track!?? I think not!? So what is it with the siege mentality?? Let's face it Aphex, Sqpshr and Vibert are always going to be ahead of the likes of Reznor, Bowie, etc so when the later appropriate some of the sound of the former the former just moves on. Looked at this way its not such a bad thing, and you can stop claiming your an elite member of the boy's own idm club and just get on listening to the music. Regards, John
