Sent Mon, Sep 21st 1998, 13:35

I received this email and thought some of our European idm'ers
might get something out of it.  Read it, it ranges from the arty farty
( I say that with respect as I'm arty farty ) to more quote-unquote " IDM".

I won't be forwarding these anymore as they're long, so do hook
up with their email system if you can.

and hey! Check out some of these shows!!!!!
I'm jealous.

Peter, Asphodel
