I love dealing with idiots who post their replies without actually reading
the entire post.
Look, fool: I explicitly spelled out in my original message (which means
either that you didn't read it and are thus a jackass, or you missed it,
in which case you have the reading comprehension of an ant) IDM READERS
ARE NOT YOUR AVERAGE APHEX FANS.  If so many Aphex/Autechre fans
listen to No-U-Turn, why does Aphex sell 50-100 thousand copies, and
No-U-Turn can't sell out editions of 2000?  Your average Aphex fan just
doesn't have the time/inclination to look beyond the "big names" (I know
plenty of these people) of Autechre, and (as I said) maybe
plug/mu-ziq/black dog.  Get it?
