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.
