discaimer: all of my comments below were in jest at the generalizations being thrown around about: girls "idm" boys folks who like idm music ravers live music "intelligence in music" etc.. and were not directed just at daniel, but toward a thread i find a bit silly... and to some degree insulting. thats all :) oh. and in NO way was i suggesting that more complex music is more intelligent. we should all know by now that intelligence and idm dont mix :) love, chris.
