Heh. I betcha those Beach Boys flamers on IDM would chortle if they found
out you can link 2112 or Close to the Edge to IDM. I've been reading the
History of House edited by Chris Kempster and in it Larry Heard says that
he was a really into Rush, Yes, Genesis, Billy Cobham, etc. in 1977 'cause
he was a drummer back then. I should post the exact quote to the list...

oh and are those We pict disks still avail? I meant to send away for one
but have been swamped at work the past few weeks w/o much time to think
about music. Were they sold to Stores? I havne't looked at Other Music
yet.. maybe kim's?

thanx,

Howie

ps 
Close To the Edge rules! ;)
