I do find it interesting the way they're commended up and down IDM when
other artists doing similar things are thoroughly mocked. I also find
their old hardcore roots ("Mr Kirk's Nightmare") amusing and enjoyable.

friends who run indie labels and pressed 7"s. I'd wish IDM to be the least
closed-minded mailing list, but it ain't sometimes...
