<<I just paid $2.95 for a Digital Hardcore sampler called "You've got the
fucking power", and I would recommend it to anyone, particularly those who
are angry about anything - I first played it after watching 'waco - the
rules of engagement' - anyway I'm English, and we couldn't get a Celine
Dion single for that price so I say go and buy it, and support our German
friends.
ps one track even sounds to me like RDJ in one of his more sinister
moods...

>>>>>digitial hardcore should definitely be considered idm, or at least be
mentioned on the idm list. admittedly the production values aren't of yr
normal idm fair, but just think of it is as trading the high tech intelligent
production values of someone like richie devine for the sardonic wit and
creativeness of shizuo. both are really just heightened forms of dance music.
I bet all Idm'ers who are above twenty and who's parents pay to go to school
and work 10 hours a week in there dad's law firm think they are to cool for
digital hardcore but anyone else who isn'ta technosnob could could find
redeeming values in most DHR especially alec empire solo stuff, christoph de
babalon, sonic subjunkies, patric c etc. ost of the music doesn't really make
sense to people over 25 anyway so they don't really count:>

over & out

P.S. for americans looking for a cheap fix the dhr comp is only the cost of a
postage paid envelope from dhr in new york.
