Well, it reflects IDM listeners' taste in house and techno, no? It's something a little different from just a "Dance Music poll", and the focus is on something wider. Something I find a little iffy is that techno is one of the more overarching genre labels. A friend of mine, who's been writing and DJing techno for years, recommended Pole to me as some of the best techno coming out these days. Show that to your average clubber and they'll be pretty bemused. But, yes, indeed, the mainstream acceptance of all things Maurizio related has certainly dragged techno out in front of IDMers for consideration. Hey, waddaya know? The poll is affected by trends? It's almost as if we're actually talking about music. :) Michael ____________________________________________ "Also, he has automatic evasion devices" http://www.vuw.ac.nz/~michael/jj.html
