No one really seems to want to try anything new. This isn't a trait found solely in techno fans - it describes the majority of ALL music-buyers, regardless of their taste. The huge irony, and the reason I am really enjoying this new (albeit recurrent) topic, is because this blinkered view of the musical spectrum is exactly what the hard-core IDM'ers slag anyone-who-doesn't-listen-to-our-music off for. As for the "But I've got no money to experiment" argument, bollocks! Tape things off your mates, or get down the library (got a new batch in today), or trade in your old crap records for new ones, or grab MP3's off the web. Whingeing tarts. -- <---HEATsink---? np: "The Girl I Love" - Tony Bennett. Shit, that's torn it.
