> Do you honestly believe that more than a handful of people outside of the > list know who Autechre are or what IDM stands for? from someone whose postings are usually quite well thought out and on the ball, the comment above is quite hard to take seriously, so excuse me if it was meant to be 'humorous' - but yes, autechre are known to more than a handful of people who don't read this list. i would call you hopelessly naive, but maybe your definition of a 'handful' differs from mine. after all, everything in america is bigger than over here! the mainstream press (in the uk at least) don't review autechre records for the benefit of a couple of hundred list members. as for what 'idm' stands for, well yes, i can't argue with that. it takes a peculiar breed of obsessive to be pompous enough to call a certain kind of music 'intelligent'. normal people call autechre 'electronic'. <waves>
