[sdiy] OT: Why you guys dont talk about Jarre?

[Rude 66]

now, now, now... i know several 'youngsters'  who know this stuff too.. as a
matter of fact, listening to the CBS webradio station (www.cbs.nu) where a
pretty big part of the current electro-scene hangs out, we now have Whodini
playing, and 2 minutes ago Hugh LeCaine's Dripsody came by.
i think there are just as much people into this type of more difficult
electronic music as back in the days. Stockhausen wasn't exactly in the top
40 with this music either, it's always been for a pretty limited group of
listeners, and to be honest, i don't play most of this stuff as 'fun
background music' either. and some i find plain unlisteable.
