Yes that was me, but people are changing all the time. I'm listening at the moment to some of my fathers records, that I used to listen when I was a child of 3-4 years. My father have a rather big record collection, and I pick up some of Japan, OMD, Human League, Stranglers, Talking Heads, Elvis Costelo, Lene Lovich, Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream, David Sylvian, Devo, Roxy Music, Robert Fripp, David Bowie, and some more albums and singles. I really enjoy listening to this records, but that's probably because of the fact that I love music. But, I cannot understand this stuff the way I'd understood it if I was born 20 years befor than I was. This just isn't my time, my way of thinking, my style, to sum it all, this isn't my music ---> it's my fathers. I addmit that I love and really played a lot some of these records, but I'll say it again that's just my habbit (I hate this word, but I don't know that much English for more suitable word) of listening and loving music. This is what I do best and this played major role in forming my personality and my stands. But at the end I must say that I much much more love techno/ dance music than all this father's records, because I grew up on my CDs and records and that's my time, my era. I tell you something rather interesting. When I listened to Talking Heads album last week, my father entered my room and asked me what am I doing with his record ? I told him : 'Nothing, just listening.' He replyed : 'What's with this music today, if you have to listen my records ?' Of course, he was just jokeing and teasing me. But there is really some truth in this... IMO, IDM also had and still have big influence on me. It's the place that I can find out about recent releases, read some good reviews, get help very fast and really effiecient for some discographies or releases, know and get in touch with nice people, improve my English, trade with people, find about some beautiful record stores, and finnaly to help as much as I can or know with the all the information I can get to all of you IDMers. That last thing is the biggest value of IDM, imho. I wish you all the best in 1998. and sorry for the bendwith (I even don't know how to write this properly, but I think you'll understand it) yours, rob p.s. Try to live few days in Rijeka, Croatia; this is a country where people don't even listen to my fathers records :-) You don't even know how happy you are.....
