yah .. a large portion of the idm community distinguishes themselves as elite members .. leaving it upto themselves to seperate what is IDM and what is not .. granted obvious artists like britney spears and so on are far from idm, if the music is weird intentionally, let it be classified as idm. idm music as a whole is offbeat and generally unclassifiable .. if some people think leftfield is idm, let them .. but the second someone pulls norman cook into the idm genre, then lets whip out the shotguns .. -jason --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
