: Do you honestly believe that more than a handful of people outside of the

: If we don't represent ourselves, who will?

um, isn't this list less/around 1000 members? i've met LOTS of people 
who have no idea what the idm list is (or even have a computer for that 
matter!) but love squarepusher, autechre and aphex.

i highly doubt that nothing would be releasing this stuff in the 
US if it was mainly for the idm list. do you seriously believe that, like
warp thinks that they are really just working with nothing as some favor
to the idm?

amoaba records alone had at least 100 copies of the first nothing
squarepusher. i about pissed myself when i saw that many copies. no way 
that one store was carrying THAT many of a cd mostly for idm listmembers...

there were listening stations for both squarepusher and autechre nothing 
releases at a store here even...
