(idm) Distributing IDM?

I'm getting a CD together, and I'm aware that, having got the music (and
money) sorted, the thing that's gonna be the biggest hassle is finding
distribution.

I'd really REALLY appreciate hearing from people about how to go about
getting distribution, particularly in countries other than where you are.
I mean, New Zealand, with its population of 3.6 million, will count for
nil, even with fairly good popularity within the scene.

Of course, anyone (who I haven't already spoken to about sending a demo)
who would like to hear some stuff, with an ear to helping me hook up with
someone would be gratefully obliged.

If it's relevant, my influences are mainly from the mellower side of
things, but I like some noise, and I also like ye olde "phat beats". ;) I
can't write tracks without rhythms for that matter.

Thanks for your time. I don't feel too good about going all out on the
"please do things for me, for no reason" front, but I'm at a bit of a loss
here.
