I like IDM... it identifies us as musical snobs, which we are at least I am YEAH FUCK EVERYONE!!!! see there... I'm a snob and I'm DAMN intelligent! Hm, so I have to say something about music or else I'm wasting bandwidth. Okay then. On the old music request, check out some old New Beat stuff from Belgium. Sure, there is some pretty horrible stuff, but there's some pretty cool tracks too. Try Microchip League. Also you should pick up a copy of Alexander Robotnick - Problemes D'Amour. Everyone should have a copy of Art Of Noise - Who's Afraid and Into Battle. Hell, any old ZTT stuff kicks ass, like Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Propaganda. I'd also highly suggest the first Human League albums and early Heaven 17. Synth pop kicked ass until it was commercialized. Isn't that the way it always is though? (reflecting on this damn electronica business...) -rbc3
