RE: [Orb] showing my ignorance ....

we Americans tend to not have as many "sub-genres", musically speaking, as Brits. i wonder why that is? The same sub-genres are here in America. Most American's just don't have a clue. What do you expect. Radio doesn't play it, unless you have a NPR station in your area that has a show or two featuring the music (like KCRW here in LA). The masses don't see it on MTV, VH-1, they only see rave "busts" on the news where "techno" is played. It's still relatively underground here, except for the bigger cities where it's taken off in the past couple of years. Maybe America is awakening somewhat (speaking of the masses). My 2 cents. FVLL
