here in toronto canada us IDMers are a reserved, selfconcious bunch i
guess. at aphex twin there was too much entertainment with the dancing
bears and all to concentrate on dancing. and at solvent/lowfish or
panasonic we just stand there watching them twiddle their nobs. it's all
rather silly, really. and that's why i don't bother going to these
events anymore, the music just can't be appreciated in the same way as
in the comfy setting of your bedroom. and then there's the ravers,
they're a disgusting bunch.
