Brian: um, re: the Top 20 in the BPM section
in the July 99 issue
of AP--that's my chart ("chart supplied by
Andrew Duke from Cognition..."). That's
twice AP have published a chart from me
in less than a year so they must be doing
something right, eh? ;) Anyway, Dave Segal from
AP just joined the IDM list recently and
he's the one who asked to publish my
chart on both occasions, so I'm assuming
he's the one that has asked the others
as well--charts from Gregory from Suction Records,
Allen Avanessian @ Plug Research
Records, and others in the IDM community
have recently been featured in the BPM section,
plus they've been doing that for awhile.
(Perhaps Dave Segal can fill us in on more...)
I've included the chart AP just used below.
It's the chart that accompanies
the April 99 Cognition Electronics Report
(published in print in VICE mag--a free mag
distributed across Canada and the US--
as the "Electric Independence" column;
though with a shorter column and only
a top ten due to wordcount/space
restrictions).

[IDM: this is the chart that Brian is referring to:]
